LIFT Vlog Episode 65: Eindhoven, Breda & Tilburg
Hi guys, here's part 2 of my vlog from my trip last month to the Netherlands - this time featuring the three cities of Eindhoven, Breda and Tilburg. The Netherlands isn't a big country and with this trip, I think I'm really running out of big cities that I've yet to visit in the Netherlands having been there so many times. I am extremely fond of the Netherlands and would love to go again at some point. But work is so crazy busy for now since I've started my company - but it was so nice to watch this video as I made it as it reminded me how fun it was to go traveling. Many thanks for watching.
Unless your business is travelling and making documentries, it is going to be extremely difficult to find time for getaways, when working/running a small company.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a question of making time lah. I could have gotten away this Good Friday - Easter weekend (4 day long weekend here in the UK) but as I've just moved house, I decided to spend the time to finish unpacking. As the weather for good yesterday, I was in the roof garden all day yesterday - I now have a bay leaf shrub, a pear tree, a raspberry shrub and plenty of flowers planted. I still have a blueberry sapling that I don't have a pot for. As it is raining the next few days, I am going to finally open all the boxes that I have yet to open since I've moved. Fun holiday eh?
DeleteBut IMHO, my business is such that I can take a few days off lah since I envision that all I have to do is get it off the ground, get it to the stage where I can hire someone to help with the day-to-day admin tasks, then boom. Sit back and oversee it - it's not like opening your own shop. We have no 'shop' - the interaction/sales is all online, via an app. We have no money to hire someone for now, so everything is done by the two bosses but once we do, it'll make life a lot easier.
Quite frankly true. As a matter of personal experience, people often tell me that I work too hard or I spend too much time at work, even by Tokyo standards. LOL. It is more likely that I prioritize my work almost above everything else, that I probably make excuses for myself to not go on holidays(except for my bi-weekly onsen trips). Part of the reason is mainly due to my hobby is probably part of my work that I dedicate a vast amount of my time to learn and improve on my technical skills.
DeleteMy resolution for this year: Try and get a new time-constraining hobby other than my work so I do not spend more than 14 hours a day thinking and planning for work/
