When thinking of the benefits of being an entrepreneur, people tend to focus on the business perks. As a business owner, you are your own boss. You get to make the decisions and run the business as you see fit. Your creativity can really shine!
While these perks are great, there are obviously more personal benefits that attract people to entrepreneurship. These include flexible scheduling and the ability to work from home. Both of these are especially beneficial for business owners with growing families. Here’s another personal perk that might not have crossed your mind – you can vacation in the off season!
Too many people say they do not have the time to take a vacation. In fact, only about 25 percent of American workers used all of their vacation days in 2013. Perhaps if more people realized the benefits of vacations, more people would make time for them. Vacations can actually make people more productive at work by improving creativity, promoting well being and warding off burnout.
As an entrepreneur, not only do you have control of your business life but your personal life as well. And if taking a vacation will make you better on a business level and on a personal level, then that is a business-savvy decision. And by vacationing in the off season, you can show your business sense by saving money and beating the crowds.
Still not sure you can afford the time away from work? With a business like SendOutCards, you can work anywhere. A change of scenery while you work may be just what you need!
Have an outstanding day!
