Thanksgiving is a special time of year that inspires us to slow down and think about what we\u2019re thankful for \u2013 whether it\u2019s family, friends, good health, a comfortable place to live or something more personal. But if you\u2019re a business owner, Thanksgiving is also a stressful time that\u2019s on the bleeding edge of the holiday shopping season and the end of the year. As we approach the next Thanksgiving, we here at The Growth Coach encourage you to take some time away from your busy schedule, celebrate with your loved ones and be thankful. It\u2019s time to Stop, Look and Listen.<\/p>\n

Stop: We know this is probably one of your busiest times of the year, but taking a few hours to be with your family on Thanksgiving \u2013 even just to enjoy each other\u2019s company \u2013 is important. You need to reset your emotional battery and, even if you procrastinate and are planning for Small Business Saturday, those few hours aren\u2019t going to make or break your business. Plus, if you are able to recharge your battery, you\u2019ll be even more prepared for the busy weekend ahead.<\/p>\n

Look: Before you close up shop for the holiday, take a few minutes to look around and take stock of all the things your business gives you to be thankful for \u2013 whether that\u2019s the ability to support your family, the great team you\u2019ve built<\/a> or even, hopefully, the fact that you don\u2019t have to spend every day at a job you hate. If there are people who deserve a little extra appreciation on Thanksgiving \u2013 and throughout the year \u2013 take a minute to do that too. It\u2019s worth the time.<\/p>\n

Listen: When you are home with your loved ones, really listen to them. Turn off your email notifications, put your phone on silent, avoid Facebook and really soak in that time you get to spend with the ones you care about the most. When you\u2019re a business owner \u2013 especially when you\u2019re starting out \u2013 life can be especially busy. Thanksgiving is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy life.<\/p>\n

Repeat: Thanksgiving is a great time to slow down and be thankful, but make time for your loved ones isn\u2019t a 1-day-out-of-365 job. Look at your calendar and schedule other times when you can clock out and reset that emotional batter.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t take a break from your business this holiday or if those few hours really are make or break, it\u2019s time to talk to your local Growth Coach. We\u2019d be willing to bet you didn\u2019t get into business because you wanted a really demanding job.
