Is Sunday ever a rest day?

For an entrepreneur, his/her mind is always on the business. Cash flow, sales, payroll...everything is so troubling to the small business owner.

So a rest day is to take the mind away from all the troubles, but can he/she do it?

I seriously doubt it.

A lot of entrepreneurs feel guilty of resting, of not doing anything to enhance or improve his/her business. They look for ways to be productive even on a rest day. They call old acquaintances for possible deals, they look up their name card rolodexes.

If they can't do much, a business magazine is always there, or maybe a book on better cash flow management?

Yes, entrepreneurs will be seen at country clubs and restaurants...but their mind is always thinking thinking thinking.

Personally, I think that it is important for a person to stop the machine (the brain) sometimes and relax. To play with the kids and have some time with the wife and don't feel guilty for wasting time.

Maybe a fishing trip every weekend? Or a stroll in the park, some leisure reading of comic books or just old fashion chit chatting with the wife.

Is Sunday ever a rest day? Well, it can be...hopefully.
