A Day in the Life of a Cozy Entrepreneur: Us Versus Them
Your day-to-day rhythm as a cozy entrepreneur will marvelously vary from your fellow cozy entrepreneurs due to the fact that it is all about fashioning a lifestyle-first business that feels uniquely yours:
Are you a night owl? Early bird? Do you prefer to work straight through the week or build in time off and breaks for harmony? The choice is yours – the cozy approach values customization above all.
For instance, in my world as a cozy business owner, a typical workday in action could unfold like this:
Example #1 - Day in the Life of a Cozy Entrepreneur (approx 3.5 hours work):
- Morning - Unrushed wake-up, email check-in, followed by a scenic walk or reading of a compelling book.
- Mid-morning - Relaxing breakfast, chores, or engaging in a hobby.
- Afternoon - A few hours spent on content creation, business-building tasks, or meeting with clients.
- Evening - Wind down with a favorite TV show, socializing, or simply enjoying leisure time.
Example #2 - Day in the Life of a Cozy Entrepreneur (approx 6 hours work):
- Morning - Yoga or meditation, followed by a creative session focused on business-related projects.
- Mid-morning to Early Afternoon - Break for a walk, lunch, and personal errands.
- Afternoon - Dedicated work session, organizing, or collaborating with clients.
- Evening - Engage in a hobby, read a book, or continue learning about your industry.
