Why Successful Entrepreneurs Need a Day Off Every Week

from Know Your Numbers REI with Chris McCormack · host Chris McCormack

What if one day of rest each week could actually make you better at business?In this episode of the Know Your Numbers Podcast, Chris McCormack explores a financial and life system that goes all the way back to the beginning of Scripture: the Sabbath.In a culture that constantly tells entrepreneurs to work harder, achieve more, make more money, and stay connected 24/7, the Sabbath offers a radically different approach: stop, rest, reset, and remember that your value isn't determined by your productivity.Chris explains why the Sabbath was established before the fall, why rest is part of God's original design for humanity, and how intentionally setting aside one day each week can help entrepreneurs avoid burnout, improve their relationships, think more clearly, and ultimately perform better in business.He also shares how he personally practices the Sabbath by turning off his phone, stepping away from email and technology, spending time in nature, journaling, praying, reading Scripture, and being fully present with his family.Whether you're a Christian entrepreneur, business owner, investor, or simply someone struggling to slow down, this episode offers a practical perspective on why rest may be one of the most important systems you can build into your life. The goal isn't to work more. It's to build a life and business that you don't need to escape from.If this episode helped you, like, follow, and share it with another entrepreneur who needs permission to slow down.••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••➤➤➤ To become a client, schedule a call with our team➤➤ https://www.betterbooksaccounting.co/booking-calendar/better-books-consultation••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Connect with Better Books on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/betterbooksaccounting.coInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/betterbooksaccounting.co→ → → SUBSCRIBE TO BETTER BOOKS’ YOUTUBE CHANNEL NOW ← ← ← https://www.youtube.com/@betterbooksaccountingThe Know Your Numbers REI podcast is for general information purposes only and is not intended to provide, and should not be relied on for, tax, legal, or accounting advice.
