The first week of the holiday is over and the company has not gone under yet haha!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Freedom as an entrepreneur<\/strong>
\nHaving a holiday is nothing unusual, all employees have it for several weeks every year. As an entrepreneur, however, it is a bit more of a luxury like this at the beginning of your career. You are locked into your responsibility, I have to work more than 40 hours a week and can never drop everything to 100% but need to be a little standby at a distance even when I am free and taking 5 weeks off would definitely not work.<\/p>\n

But I still feel more free!<\/p>\n

I do not have to ask anyone for permission before I go on holiday, I can take a last minute trip and I set up my working hours exactly as I want. If I want to work 24 hours straight one day to be free the next day, I GET :)<\/p>\n

And not to mention the future, I will never want to stop working but can really long for both the finances and the practicalities to be so self-sufficient that I can set up every single minute of work exactly as I want without risking anything. Fy so wonderful!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here was the first day on the beach, so happy!<\/p>\n

Relax on the holiday as an entrepreneur<\/strong>
\nTo be free from work tasks and to be able to relax and feel<\/em> Being free is two different things. How did it go for me on holiday then? I have quite easily stressed out when I see work matters and have therefore deliberately turned off a lot. I have only answered the most urgent emails and those that are quick to respond, I have turned off notifications from social media and only check in quip (our communication program at the salon) when I have time to grab things if needed, I open not the notices when I'm lying on the beach, just woke up or something like that when I'm just going to enjoy the holidays.<\/p>\n

I have not opened the schedule once, when I would book a customer in a few weeks who emailed me, I kept the screen before I changed the date so I did not see today's bookings haha. I know that if there are a lot of bookings, I will be stressed because it is stressful at the salon when we can not help at the reception. And if, on the contrary, there are big gaps in the schedule, I will be stressed about the finances instead as I can not do anything about it from here.<\/p>\n

Now it sounds like me is<\/em> stressad p\u00e5 semestern, men tack vare ovanst\u00e5ende “regler” f\u00f6r mig sj\u00e4lv s\u00e5 har jag sluppit det! :) Jag har haft n\u00e5gra f\u00e5 sl\u00e4ngar av stresstankar\u00a0men nu har jag kommit ner i varv och k\u00e4nner att jag litar p\u00e5 personalen p\u00e5 salongen s\u00e5 mycket att dom kommer p\u00e5\u00a0alla eventuella probleml\u00f6sningar sj\u00e4lv! :)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Speaking of relaxation, I offer a picture of Miska on the beach! He is as calm as a person and that is exactly what I need, when I get stressed I have the calmest person in the world to lean on and it is really worth its weight in gold. Had Miska been someone who worries and stresses, we would probably have triggered each other so much that my nerves would have broken a long time ago haha.<\/p>\n

Move to Mexico!<\/strong>
\nLast Monday we sat at breakfast for a very long time, you can take your own thermos of coffee to the table and we emptied it completely and just sat and felt life in us haha.<\/p>\n

I always get so inspired when I sit with Miska and talk, we have decided to live abroad in the future but not exactly which country. Now that we are in Mexico, it feels like the obvious choice, I love the atmosphere, nature, wildlife, the air!<\/p>\n

Och var vi ska bo i framtiden h\u00f6r i allra h\u00f6gsta grad ihop med f\u00f6retagandet, det \u00e4r s\u00e5 l\u00e4tt att t\u00e4nka “jag vill starta upp det h\u00e4r, jag vill g\u00f6ra det h\u00e4r!” men man m\u00e5ste g\u00e5 tillbaka i grunden och t\u00e4nka “how<\/em> do I want to work? \u201d and build a career based on it.<\/p>\n

Jag vill ha ett jobb d\u00e4r jag inte \u00e4r bunden till en plats, utan kan jobba mycket p\u00e5 distans. D\u00e5 kan jag bo var som helst i hela v\u00e4rlden! Jag\u00a0vill allts\u00e5 inte ha ett “vinterhus” dit jag\u00a0\u00e5ker n\u00e4r jag \u00e4r ledig, utan vill ha kvar mitt hus hemma i Gimo + ha ett hus utomlands d\u00e4r jag bor och jobbar stora delar av \u00e5ret, sen kan jag bo i Gimo n\u00e4r jag \u00e4r p\u00e5 m\u00f6ten i Sverige och h\u00e4lsar p\u00e5 familjen :)<\/p>\n

Understand so wonderful! And financially, there are no strange things, the only thing that has to work is that you should have a job where you can work large parts remotely. For a house in Mexico costs about as much as a house in Sweden.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What I love about Mexico and our hotel is the wildlife! It is crowded with polar bears (in the picture you see a baby!) And also agoutis (an animal I have never seen before you can google if you do not know haha) and lots of nice birds and even a deer lying and sleeping outside the balcony here a day. I love animals and see in front of me that I will be a crazy nose bear lady in our future Mexico house haha!<\/p>\n

Delegate more
\n<\/strong>F\u00f6rra business-veckan skrev jag under “learning by doing” att jag ofta\u00a0l\u00e4gger ner massor av tid p\u00e5 jobb som inte kommer till anv\u00e4ndning i den utstr\u00e4ckning att det \u00e4r v\u00e4rt tiden jag l\u00e4gger ner.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, I also came across three (!) Times the same week that I took on more jobs that I did not really need to do. So what I wrote about last week was about things that could have been skipped altogether, but another thing that I also need to get better at is taking help from others and realizing that it is not necessarily I<\/em> who will perform all tasks when there are other people with gaps in the schedule and I am de-stressed.<\/p>\n

But it's so hard to delegate things because I take on stuff without even reflecting on it.<\/p>\n

1. Vi fick en bokningsf\u00f6rfr\u00e5gan utanf\u00f6r\u00a0\u00f6ppettid och en kollega\u00a0fr\u00e5gade om det var ok om Lisa jobbar l\u00e4ngre den dagen. Jag skulle precis s\u00e4ga “jag ska h\u00f6ra av mig till henne och fr\u00e5ga” n\u00e4r jag fick\u00a0svaret “jag kan ringa henne och fr\u00e5ga”\u00a0och ja det var ju v\u00e4ldigt mycket smidigare \u00e4n att jag ska vara en mellanhand och f\u00f6rst fr\u00e5ga Lisa och sen meddela vidare om hon kunde eller inte innan kunden kunde bli uppringd igen :)<\/p>\n

2. Ida fr\u00e5gade mig om vi hade tillr\u00e4ckligt med kvittorullar. Jag tog upp pennan och skulle skriva p\u00e5 min to do list att kolla upp det och hon ba “jag kan kolla sj\u00e4lv annars jag bara undra om du visste direkt” haha.<\/p>\n

3. En annan kollega hade en fr\u00e5ga om en sak p\u00e5 l\u00f6nebeskedet som jag inte kunde svaret p\u00e5, dom f\u00e5r l\u00f6nebeskeden i mail av v\u00e5r ekonomi-person och mitt svar var “jag ska maila henne och fr\u00e5ga” varp\u00e5 jag igen fick svaret “fast jag kan maila sj\u00e4lv” haha. \u00c5terigen hade jag bara blivit en mellanhand vilket \u00e4r helt on\u00f6digt.<\/p>\n

All of these things are super small, but many streams are small and when there are people who have time left over. Delegating more is my new New Year's promise haha!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Visste ni att det finns en “regel” som s\u00e4ger att 20% av allt jobb man l\u00e4gger ner bidrar med 80% av resultatet? Det \u00e4r som att jag har 6st h\u00e5rt arbetande armar men bara en av dom som g\u00f6r n\u00e5gon nytta.\u00a0Ganska frustrerande haha.<\/p>\n

No, now I will continue my Sunday here in Mexico! Hugs are!<\/p>\n
