Choose wisely
Many a times you will land up in a thick situation where you have to prioritize between your job and your home. It is not going to be an easy decision but you have to do it. So make sure you think well and choose, so that you have minimum regrets in future. No one can have it all. You do have to give up something to win other things.

Do not ignore your personal time
Female entrepreneurs have a very busy routine, throughout the week. But you must NEVER give up on some me-time, no matter how hard you are working. Spend at least 30 minutes a day on yourself, maybe take a long shower, listen to some good music, or simple nap! But do give yourself at least some time to unwind. Remember, the happier you are, the better your company will run.
These are tips for all working women, who have to get the best of both worlds- personal and professional. Hope you found them helpful and wish you get all the success you deserve in your life.
