What are some ways that a new business owner can make sure that they have work-life balance?

Owning and running a business takes so much time and energy and it’s very hard to leave work at work, especially in the start-up phase. What are some ways that a new business owner can make sure that they have work-life balance and don’t spend 24 hours a day thinking about (and working on) their business.

All i can say is good luck with that. My aunt has been a business owner of the restraunt of which i work, and it is very hectic for her, always on her feet from 8am – 9:30pm, trying to get everything in order. It really takes a toll on her family life. I would say take at least 1 day off to rest relax and spend time with family. Maybe hire on some help or have a trusted family member help you with accounting and placing orders for products, opening and closing, things like that would help. Although i’d handle the money myself as much as possible. Take some business classes as well if you havent already, they help a ton.
