newsXpress believes in the importance of a work/life balance, taking time out of your business to work on it not in it.
These 2 photos are of two different networking functions that are held at different times of the year…the Ballarat Race Day in November and the Fraser Island Getaway in February.
Both these annual events give business owners the opportunity to escape the everyday grind enabling them to network with other like minded, positive retailers in a relaxed environment. These getaways are open to all newsXpresser’s, Newsagents, Industry partners, Suppliers and friends.
The importance of stepping outside your business can provide benefits in many ways:
- A break from the insular stress of your own four walls
- An opportunity to look upon other retail businesses with fresh eyes
- A clear message of independence and responsibility to your team
- The realisation that the world goes on without you (while this can provide a kick to your ego, it is just about the most important message to learn in business).
- A chance to live your life and indulge in your outside interests and passions
- Spend more time with family & friends
- Renewed vigour and focus when you are at work
- And many more…
