4 Quotes to Inspire the Busy Entrepreneur to take a Holiday

Summer’s coming, and who doesn’t love getting away for some fun and sun? While camping trips, cottaging or beach vacations are the highlights of many summer adventures, busy entrepreneurs often find it difficult to drag themselves away from work for some much-needed downtime. As much as we all appreciate your dedicated work ethic, we can’t stress enough how important it is to disconnect from time to time. A holiday can aid in reducing stress and anxiety, help clear your mind and allow new ideas to flow. By allowing yourself a vacation from work, you’ll actually improve your efficiency when you return!

It’s time to stop making excuses and start making time for yourself!

We know entrepreneurs love finding inspiration and motivation in quotes, so we’ve compiled a list to help you tear yourself away from the office and take a well-deserved break.

“The world is full of travellers.
Once in a year go to someplace you have never been before.
You will meet Confused seekers, Hopeful wanderers, Enthusiastic story-tellers, Happy families.
Look into their eyes and stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead any moment.
Look at the world. It’s more beautiful than any dream you’d have ever seen.
Make the most beautiful travel diary and open it up to your third generation because only your grandchildren will understand what your children will fail to.”
― Ranjani Ramachandran

Although our businesses are extremely important to us as entrepreneurs, there is more to life than just work. Be sure to open your eyes and take it all in.

“Reaching the top requires taking a good break every time you need it! On the way up, you must never hesitate to stop for a while!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

Don’t burn yourself out trying to reach the top, enjoy the journey to success.

“Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future. Jobs, family, employers, and friends can exist one day without any one of us, and if our egos permit us to confess, they could exist eternally in our absence. Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for. Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.”
― Maya Angelou, Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now

If you really can’t manage to take a full vacation, at least give yourself one day of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Quotes are meant to inspire, so hopefully, we’ve inspired your inner traveller to get out there and enjoy the summer. Remember:

“Life’s short. Eat dessert first, work less and vacation MORE!!”

Taking a vacation every now and then is crucial.

If you’ve been working hard for months and can’t remember the last time you got away for some quality R&R, chances are it’s time for you to book a trip.

We’ve all been there, and if you want to share relatable content with your followers, consider posting quotes (with the help of auto-posting Twitter tools) that inspire vacation-taking. Here are 4, collected by Happy Publishing, that sum it up perfectly.

“A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking.” – Earl Wilson

We all reach a point where the stresses of work, home, family, and life become unbearable. Once we reach this point (or hopefully before) we should absolutely prepare to take a vacation. We deserve it, after all!

“A wise man travels to discover himself.” – James Russell Lowell

Taking a vacation gives us an opportunity to slow down, relax, and think about who we really are (while poolside, preferably). We should take full advantage of this time and not worry hopelessly about the stresses we left at home.

“A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.” – Robert Orben

Which is exactly what many of us love about vacations. We can forget about working long hours at an office, slaving over reports with varying (and often overlapping) due dates, and enjoy the tranquility of having nothing at all to do.

“If you come home as happy as you leave, you have had a good vacation.” – Unknown

But every vacation must eventually come to an end. Although vacation activities are fun, food is delicious, and room service is magical, heading home is always great too. The writer of this quote defines a good vacation as ending just as it started – with us happy.
