Small intentions are like keeping the pilot light on. Through your hard work, the fire burns continuously. I was recently on a call with the owner of a de novo veterinary practice, celebrating her first anniversary. Our monthly calls were usually cheery and full of excitement. We counted new clients and new patients month after month. Gradually, however, our conversations went from \u201cHow do I get more clients?\u201d and \u201cHow do I train my team better and consistently?\u201d to something completely different.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, we are so busy, and I am so tired,\u201d she said. It wasn\u2019t the first time I had heard those words from a new practice owner<\/a>. A larger fire had erupted, and she was caught in it. You eat dinner late, you come home after your kids are asleep, and you\u2019re a full-time firefighter. You are constantly reacting, never recharging. Instead of running your business, you feel like the business is running you.<\/p>\n

Owning a business is exhilarating, but it can consume you if you don\u2019t maintain healthy habits. The very thing you built to create freedom and purpose in your life can lead to exhaustion, strained relationships and burnout.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the good news: It doesn\u2019t have to be that way. By establishing a handful of work-life balance and business habits, you can regain control, conserve your energy and lead with clarity.<\/p>\n

Achieving Work-Life Balance<\/h3>\n

Protecting the owner behind the business is crucial. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

1. Define and Stick to Your Work Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owning a business is often a blurry line between work hours and time spent working. The first is when you\u2019re physically present in the business. The other is when you\u2019re thinking about, planning or worrying about it. The latter can happen anywhere.<\/p>\n

Set boundaries by deciding when you\u2019re \u201con\u201d and when you\u2019re not. If you bring work home, do it intentionally and with a stop time. Otherwise, you\u2019ll find yourself living in a perpetual state of partial work. I have been there, constantly distracted at family dinners, stressed while on vacation and resentful of the business I once loved.<\/p>\n

2. Make Sleep Nonnegotiable<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sleep isn\u2019t a luxury; it\u2019s fuel. If you find yourself catching up on sleep over the weekend, you\u2019re not operating at 100% during the week. Sleep experts advise establishing a healthy bedtime ritual. Consider dimming the lights, turning off your digital screens, and using music or smart lights as cues to help you wind down. The reward is that you will show up for work sharper.<\/p>\n

3. Schedule Self-Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recharging looks different for everyone. For some, it\u2019s meditation, gardening, playing pickleball, reading or sitting quietly with a cup of coffee. Whatever it looks like to you, put it on your calendar as seriously as you would a staff meeting. A burned-out owner cannot lead a thriving business.<\/p>\n

4. Protect Family and Friends Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Block time for your kids\u2019 soccer games, date nights or that special weekend away. If it\u2019s on your calendar, you\u2019re less likely to tackle \u201cjust one more email.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Take Actual Vacations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compared to their employees, U.S. business owners tend to take minimal paid time off. A 2024 survey found that nearly 1 in 4 owners had taken zero vacation days in the past year. The happiest owners took 10 PTO days. And if you are checking work emails during your vacation, stop! The survey revealed that 6 out of 7 vacationing owners who check their email feel burned out after their return. Vacations are a fabulous leadership tool. By stepping away, you allow your team to step up, and you reset mentally. The last thing you should do when you\u2019re lying on the beach is field calls about printer ink or vaccine orders. Lead by example. Your team will respect the boundaries you model.<\/p>\n

Setting Good Business Habits<\/h3>\n

Healthy owners build healthy businesses. Here is how to strengthen your operations, financial stability and leadership.<\/p>\n

1. Know Where You Stand Financially<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep accurate financial records. From the moment you spend your first dollar on legal fees, supplies or anything business-related, track everything. Good data is the foundation for good decisions, and it\u2019s one of the first functions worth outsourcing. Make sure to separate your personal and business expenses. Open separate bank and credit card accounts under the business name. Commingling personal and business finances makes seeing where the money goes impossible, and it can create legal and tax nightmares.<\/p>\n

2. Schedule Monthly Financial Reviews <\/strong><\/p>\n

Think of financial reports like laboratory results<\/a>. The numbers mean little without interpretation. Review your profit and loss, cash flow, and balance sheet reports with your accountant or adviser. Ask questions until you understand what\u2019s working correctly and what isn\u2019t. Review the data against your budget. (If you don\u2019t have a budget, create one now!) A budget serves as your GPS for making informed spending and hiring decisions.<\/p>\n

3. Protect Your CEO Time <\/strong><\/p>\n

Block time weekly for strategic work, such as planning, analyzing and leading. Get out of the reacting stage. Say \u201cno\u201d or \u201cnot now\u201d to distractions that don\u2019t serve your top priorities. To do all this, you need standard operating procedures. SOPs are your business\u2019s playbook. Write them, share them and review them regularly as your systems and tools evolve. SOPs free up your mental bandwidth, making delegation a seamless process. Delegation means more free time for you.<\/p>\n

4. Stay Connected With Your Team and Clients<\/strong><\/p>\n

A healthy business culture doesn\u2019t happen by accident. Hold regular meetings \u2014 always have an agenda \u2014 engage in stay interviews with employees and celebrate wins. The more connected your team members feel, the lower the turnover rate. Track client trends and feedback monthly. Are you attracting the pet owners you want? Quick feedback loops involving surveys or follow-ups help refine your practice\u2019s services and convert satisfied clients into raving fans.<\/p>\n

5. Stay Curious<\/strong><\/p>\n

The veterinary industry is constantly changing because of new technology, shifting demographics and evolving client expectations. Always keep learning, and encourage your team to do the same. Attend conferences, webinars and workshops. Consider adding an extra day at the beginning or end of a conference to recharge yourself, explore local attractions or sleep in.<\/p>\n

Your business will not crumble when you devote more time to yourself. Your employees will not fail. Instead, they will grow as they become more independent.<\/p>\n

Healthy habits are about intention, not perfection. Leading well begins with leading yourself well. The business you dreamed of is possible. It all starts with taking one small step today. Your future self and your business will thank you.<\/p>\n

TAKE A BREATH<\/span><\/h3>\n

The AVMA Trust 2022 Trend Report<\/em> uncovered that veterinarians tend to take only one to two weeks of vacation a year. Furthermore, the findings found that their job satisfaction directly correlated to the amount of paid time off they took. Less PTO meant less job satisfaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
