Recently, our entrepreneurs have been saying how tired they are. Matt in Fishbowl One has been travelling all over the country to organise venues for his business launch tour, and has been getting a maximum of 4 hours sleep per night, often sleeping on his friend's floors! He explains in this video how he is so tired but still loving it - http://inafishbowl.com/Fishbowl-One/tired-but-loving-it.html

Then there's Dom and Owain in Fishbowl Three. Following the advice of Expert Claire Young (finalist on The Apprentice 2004 http://inafishbowl.com/claire-young.html), the pair took a week long break from their business after becoming so run down that they were losing motivation. They are now back to work refreshed and raring to go - http://inafishbowl.com/Fishbowl-Three/video-taking-a-break.html

But how can you avoid this tiredness when you're running your own business? The stress and the ownership can really take it's toll, but when you're the only one working, how can you take time off?

These guys love what they're doing, but eventually it must get you down.

Does anyone have any tips for staying energised and upbeat when you're running your own business?
