We had the good fortune of connecting with Michelle Greatrick and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Michelle, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
Achieving a healthy work-life balance has proven to be not just a personal priority but a pivotal business strategy for me. As I’ve learned to strike this equilibrium, it has positively impacted both my health and my approach to conducting business.

Firstly, maintaining a work-life balance has been essential for my health. It allows me the time and space to prioritize self-care, exercise, and maintain a nutritious diet. This, in turn, has boosted my physical and mental well-being. With improved health, I’ve experienced increased energy, mental clarity, and resilience to tackle challenges effectively. In essence, it has been a foundation for my overall vitality, reducing the risk of burnout and chronic stress.

From a business perspective, work-life balance has become a strategic advantage. By managing my time efficiently and ensuring a healthy work-life division, I’ve found myself more focused and productive during work hours. This heightened productivity, combined with a rejuvenated perspective, has allowed me to make better decisions, tackle problems with creativity, and improve overall business performance. It has also bolstered my relationships with colleagues, clients, and partners, as I can provide a more attentive and solution-oriented approach.

Sustaining a work-life balance has allowed me to disconnect from work, recharge, and return with fresh ideas and perspectives. This has been invaluable in cultivating long-term business strategies and fostering innovation. The ability to step back, reflect, and adapt is essential in today’s rapidly changing business landscape.

In conclusion, work-life balance is not merely a personal choice but a strategic necessity. It directly contributes to my health, fostering resilience, and improved physical and mental well-being. Simultaneously, it fuels my business strategy, enhancing productivity, decision-making, and creativity. The harmonious balance between work and life ultimately ensures a sustainable and prosperous future for both my health and my business.
