The Vacation Blues of Small Business Owners

Whether you’re an event planner or a small business owner, vacations can bring out a lot of workplace anxiety. After spending a much-needed vacation visiting friends and family in Singapore, host May Yeo Silvers couldn’t help but feel these vacation blues herself. In today’s episode, May discusses how entrepreneurs can go in and out of vacation mode in a way that is good for them, their loved ones, and their businesses.   According to May, business owners need to know that their businesses will not disappear overnight when they take a vacation. But once you get over your work anxiety and into vacation mode, it’s essential to know when you need to switch back and focus on your work. Ultimately, entrepreneurs need to develop balance in their lives to be stronger leaders for their businesses to thrive.   Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur™ to learn more about small business owners’ vacation blues, switching off your work engine, and why everyone needs balance to succeed.   Quotes • “I know that I couldn't be a 100% stay-at-home mom.
