Gem Pty Reveal 4 Secrets to Work Life Balance

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, October 22, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For many young entrepreneurs, a steady work life balance can at times, seem like something of a myth. Investing time in one means the other inevitably suffers. For a new business especially, it only takes one slip up at work to trigger an overwhelming urge to work more and put any personal engagements on the backburner. Direct sales and marketing Firm GEM Pty believe that although a new business requires a lot of dedication, it's unhealthy for an entrepreneur to let their business take over their life. By working longer hours, an entrepreneur may feel like they are being more productive. However by not allowing themselves time away from the business they are in fact doing far more harm than good. Overworking induces tiredness and stress which can impair mental capacity, leading them to make poor business decisions. Stress can also cause a number of physical health issues too, such as heart disease, obesity and diabetes which could seriously affect an entrepreneur's long term business plans. GEM Pty believe that time spent away from work can help a business owner recharge and focus, and therefore believe that achieving a work life balance is vital to business success. Although considered difficult, it can be done; here GEM Pty has offered their four secrets to establishing a positive work life balance.

You Don't Need to Sacrifice
It is not necessary to sacrifice or trade to achieve a healthy work life balance. So many established business owners are able to have time away from the office without their business suffering because of it. The key is to trust others to keep things running smoothly, by involving people who share the same vision and goals, entrepreneurs will find they are able to 'let go' without having to sacrifice in any areas of their work or home life.

Focus on Others
Many new entrepreneurs feel that taking time off is selfish, however GEM Pty suggest entrepreneurs should look at how their time off could benefit others around them. Not only could it strengthen relationships with loved ones, taking time off could also positively impact the business by allowing an entrepreneur time to refresh and return to work more productive and with new motivation.

Change Isn't Difficult
Small changes in routine, such as an allowing an extra hour a day for family time can make a huge difference to an entrepreneur's overall happiness. By making small changes in areas under their control, entrepreneurs can pave the way for bigger changes which could further increase happiness and improve the work life balance.

Control
Despite many feeling bound to work schedules, in terms of work, people actually have far more control than they realize. Taking a day of absence due to illness, exhaustion or last minute personal commitments is costly; therefore it is far more beneficial to a business to be flexible when it comes to personal time and situations.
