Entrepreneurs need vacations occasionally too!

When the rest of the world takes vacations, entrepreneurs keep working. That’s the main finding of a survey published by direct funding platform Kabbage this week. The survey, which interviewed 400 small business owners, found that 60 percent of them only take one full vacation a year, while 23 percent take less than two holidays off annually. Furthermore, when on holiday, 75 percent of small business owners continue working. One-third of small business owners work at least three of the six major holidays in the year. The survey reveals a lot about the absence of work/life balance in the life of an entrepreneur and the sacrifices they are prepared to make in order to achieve business success and personal goals. But there is something to be said about taking the occasional time-out to relax, to recharge batteries, to get perspective back, and just to kick-back and enjoy life - after all, entrepreneurs need vacations occasionally too!
