Take a Day Off from Work at Least Once a Month

How often have you said: "I wish I had my own business! Then I could take a day off whenever I wanted..." Now you can do it! Chances are, for a while you'll be working more days with your own business than you would when you were employed by someone else. If you don't take the weekends off from your business, make sure you take at least one day a week for no work and all play. Then, on top of that, schedule a couple of days every month for a mini vacation. For at least one day, do no work whatsoever and spend all day with your family. That means no computer (unless you're helping your kids with homework or playing games), no business phone, no fax, no meetings, and no paperwork for one entire day. Have fun! I do.
