Working on Sunday is an Option
Posted By Robin on March 29, 2009
Entrepreneurs are the travelers of the road less taken and in the passionate pursuit of their dreams, they rarely get a “day off”. As the owner of and investor in my own company, my work deadlines rarely take a holiday. Planning, project development, sales and marketing, cash flow, personnel, supplies…there’s always something to think about.
Since childhood we’re taught that Sunday is the day of rest, but how does an entrepreneur rest and relax when her work is never done?
To remain effective an entrepreneur must break from the work routine and engage in activities that refreshen the spirit. Whether it’s time spent with family and friends or pursuing a craft or hobby, the investment of time spent away from the office allows us to gladden our souls, sharpen our competitive edge and get the creative juices flowing again.
Sundays are quiet and peaceful in my office; a perfect time to reorganize and tend to small details, allowing me to be ready at the starting gate on Monday morning. In the simple pace of a Sunday I can develop new plans, write freely without interruption and dream of masterful concepts that will take my company toward greater success.
Try calling me on a Sunday and you may well find me enjoying a few hours in the office but I doubt you will ever find me working. I don’t work on Sunday or Monday or Friday, for that matter. How can what I do be called work? I love what I do! Isn’t that what being an entrepreneur is all about?
