Episode #9 - Creating a Life-Work Balance as you Build your Business and Economy

Working long hours can have a negative effect on an entrepreneur's life. The lack of time for sleep, exercise, and family time can lead to anxiety, depression, and even hypertension. Entrepreneurs are more successful when they care for themselves and find a healthy balance between work and personal life.

A work-life balance is also essential for an entrepreneur's physical and mental health. You can use many strategies to make time for the things that matter to you outside of work. Strategies include:

• Working from home.
• Focusing on a work style.
• Taking regular breaks throughout the day.

In this episode, your host, Bunmi Ajibade, shares the importance of creating a work-life balance and the strategies you can use to make one for yourself. It is important to note that no universal formula can be used to define or create a work-life balance. It, therefore, demands one to make a conscious decision and take responsibility to create one based on their goals and desires. However, Bunmi has some tips that you do not want to miss.
