Entrepreneurs: Don’t Forget to Have Fun with Business

Somewhere along the way, many entrepreneurs forget to have fun with the business. After a while, you might get bogged down with details or you might get burned out. A lot of this happens because entrepreneurs are known for being workaholics.

But you know the saying: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” This is true no matter who you are. When you don’t have any fun with business, you run the risk of losing your drive and failing at your goals.

Don’t make your business venture all about work. Here are some of the benefits of adding a little play to your entrepreneurship efforts:

Innovation

Many entrepreneurs know that trying to force inspiration doesn’t always work. Your most innovative ideas are likely to come when you’re in a relaxed frame of mind. Adding a little bit of play to your regimen can’t help you relax and free up your mind so that you can come up with innovative solutions to some of the business problems that might be plaguing you.

Taking a break from work can help you get through writers block, find new solutions to old problems, and help you become more creative. If you feel yourself getting bogged down or burned out, stop what you’re doing and play a little.

Build Your Team

If you have employees or contractors, playing together can make a big difference. When we play together, we built bonds and trust. My son and I get along much better when we have time to play together, whether we are going on a bike ride or playing a board game.

The same principle applies with your team. If you want to forge a strong team that’s loyal to each other and that works well together, consider having a little playtime together. You might also be surprised at what it can do for morale in your company. A little fun with business can go a long way toward making your company a place that people want to work.

Keep the Business Interesting

We all feel a little more fulfilled when we can have fun with business. Many of us become entrepreneurs or start new projects because we have passion and an interest in what we are doing. After a while, though, you might lose interest if all it is is work, work, work. Add a little fun

Add a little fun with business, and suddenly it doesn’t feel as much like work. It’s easier to remember why you’re doing it when you’re having fun. Messed around a little bit, and recapture some of that passion. It will help you push through the difficult times that come with any growing business.

As you see more success with your business, don’t use that as an excuse to stop having fun. Play is what makes life fulfilling and worthwhile. If you’re going to make your business a big part of your life and your purpose, you want to make sure that there is some fun in it.
