The Entrepreneur’s Work-Life Balance | An Infographic

Entrepreneurship can rapidly become overwhelming if a healthy work-life balance is not maintained. Therefore, keeping a harmonious lifestyle is essential for entrepreneurs. Our infographic shows how to maintain a good work-life balance for entrepreneurs.

Jack Dorsey is somewhat of a model entrepreneur. He’s the brains behind Twitter AND Square. Not one, but two hugely successful businesses. All that and he only works eight hours a day.

Well, eight hours a day at each company! (though we’re sure that he’s mastered the art of business automation).

For many entrepreneurs, working 8 hours of the day is simply not enough to achieve their goals – especially when small business owners are working harder now to stay afloat during the pandemic. Consequently, to follow their dreams many entrepreneurs have to work up to 16 hours a day, à la Dorsey. But at what cost?

In this infographic, we gathered various statistics about entrepreneurs and how entrepreneurship impacts their health and well-being in general. We gathered statistics about the following: 

• Number of weekly working hours
• Holidays and annual leave
• Working time
• The physical and mental well-being of entrepreneurs

Besides, the infographic includes insights about the cause and effect of stress as well as tips to cope with stress and increase the well-being of entrepreneurs.
