As an entrepreneur who has experienced firsthand the challenges of juggling multiple responsibilities while striving for success, our CEO, Sara Sofyan, was proudly chosen as the keynote speaker to delve into the crucial theme of healthy work-balance. This fantastic initiative was brought to life by Bank Saqu and Endeavor Indonesia, located in Menara Astra on May 7th 2024.
Striking a balance between work and personal life in this fast-paced world of entrepreneurship takes commitment, perseverance, and-above-all-introspection. The additional difficulties experienced by female entrepreneurs are now added to that dynamic, making the balancing act even more difficult.
Women entrepreneurs often have an ongoing struggle to strike a work-life balance because they are under constant pressure to perform well in both areas. In addition to juggling company plans and financial targets, they frequently have to contend with the persistent imbalance of gender relations in the workplace as well as obligations to their families and society. On the road to equality, women entrepreneur face many challenges, from childcare to overcoming preconceptions.
Maintaining a feeling of balance is essential for long-term success in the field of entrepreneurship, where it can be difficult to distinguish between work and personal life. This can be accomplished by intentionally defining boundaries and making deliberate efforts. This incredible event, organized by Bank Saqu and Endeavor Indonesia, is essential for promoting conversation and providing tools to help business owners-especially women.
From Sara’s perspective, the indispensable pillars in achieving and maintaining work-life balance are supportive colleagues, and establishing healthy habits. Colleagues who offer support, understanding, and fellowship, create a conducive environment where the burdens of entrepreneurship are shared and collective growth is fostered. While this is going on, incorporating healthy habits like exercise into our daily schedule not only enhances physical well-being but also boosts mental clarity and resilience, enabling us to navigate the demands with greater ease.
In conclusion, this journey toward work-life balance as an entrepreneur, especially as a woman, is undoubtedly challenging, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. By acknowledging the unique challenges, advocating for systemic change, and prioritizing our own self-care, we can create a reality where entrepreneurs can thrive, both personally and professionally.
