I have many friends and family members who go out of town almost every summer and sometimes even in the summer AND in the Winter break. Me and my husband run our own business so business is sometimes up and sometimes down. It’s not like we get a set amount of money weekly or bi-weekly. When they go on vacation so much, sometimes I get jealous that I don’t get to go anywhere. I haven’t been anywhere international in over 7 years and one thing I really want to do is to travel. My husband says that if we are patient, things will work out for us in the future. I know it is unfair for my family/friends to be jealous, because its not like they’re trying to rub it in my face and I’m happy for them that they get the chance to spend time with their families. So, how do I stop being jealous of them? Serious answers only.

When we were kids, the best part of summer was certainly the fact that there was no school. It was a time to relax, play with our friends, swim, and generally enjoy the fact that we were not on a schedule. As we get older, of course, we no longer get the summer off. If we are lucky, we might get two weeks off. It is important, however to take some time off. Not just pretend time off where you go with the family to a nice hotel and sit on the beach with your laptop and cell phone and continue to work.

There are many benefits to you and your business from taking some real time off. First, and probably the most important, is some time away from the stress. Just the act of functioning from day to day can be stressful-even if you leave the work part of it out of the equation. We need a change of scenery and break in the routine. We need to be “off schedule.” Doing things differently gives you a different perspective and ability to clear your head.

Being away from the routine also gives you the time to think and plan. Sometimes we are so busy working that we never have the time to think and reflect. We have a hard time finding the time to just quietly think and plan. Vacations can give you that needed time (as long as you don’t take a vacation that is so scheduled that, once again, you don’t have time to think!). Planning can be a very important part of your business. Relaxing and thinking can you some great insights.

Taking time off also gives you time to reconnect with yourself and your family members. When we are working so hard, often times into the evening, we can lose touch with our family and what is going on in their lives. If they are small, you may have even lost sight of who they are developing into as people. Vacations can be a time to get to know them again and actually have meaningful interactions while having some fun. No pressure, just hanging out. You will be surprised at what you learn in this relaxed environment.

Being rested and relaxed with a plan can make you much more effective in your business. You will be better prepared ad better able to handle the pressure if you take the time to rest. You will be less likely to suffer from burnout. Your downline will seem much smarter. You and your business will both prosper and your family will be a lot happier too.

“If a man insisted on always being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.”
