Is Your Business Delivering The Lifestyle You Desire?
A recent survey of almost 2000 small to medium Australian businesses by Quest Newspapers has highlighted that 71% of business owners are in business because of lifestyle factors such as following their passion, creating better work/life balance and being their own boss.
More than 67% of SME owners are working more than 41 hours a week and more than one third work more than 51 hours a week. This mismatch between intention and reality is often a source of unhappiness or distress for business owners.

- Develop an inspiring vision and focus on doing the things that will get you there.
- Know where you add the most value to the business. Focus on your strengths and what you are passionate about.
- Delegate or outsource the ‘$20’ jobs that you hate but do out of habit or your need to be in control.
- Create a culture that values work/life balance… starting with YOU!
- Focus on the important, rather than the urgent. Use your time wisely and schedule time for the important.
