Hey, Superwoman: Learn how to take a break!
So what is the hardest lesson for many women entrepreneurs and executives to learn? Surviving the “Superwoman syndrome” and learning to take a break.
Too many women business owners think their enterprise won’t go at all unless they’re always around to start and steer the engines. As a result, they don’t build in any options or resources for taking time away from work.
But without time to recharge, both business and owner are bound to suffer. Let me address why you “taking five” should be a priority.
Why women run round-the-clock schedules
“Women are relatively new to the professional work force and those who get to the top tend to work alone, without much teamwork or mentoring.”
“Such women often feel that someone else can’t do what they’ve done. Since they only recently got there, they don’t want to give up their place.”
At best, though, doing everything yourself is a recipe for stunted growth: How can you build a going concern when you, the chief, are the only one who gets the job done? At worst, it’s a path to burnout: Dozens of surveys have documented that ongoing stress can lead to personal health problems and business tunnel vision.
If you recognize yourself in this hard driving, perfectionist portrait, take a step back to re-think.
Relieve the pressure on your business . . .
