There’s no questioning that to have a successful business, and professional life, you need to put in the hours and make sacrifices. However, what if we told you there was another way?

What if we said you could achieve even more by mixing your personal life with your professional one? This article will give you four reasons why it’s essential to do just that.
You’ll be more productive
If you’re happy with your personal life, you’re more likely to be productive in your professional one. That’s because when we feel good, we naturally want to achieve more. When our personal and professional lives are in harmony, we can reach a state of flow where we feel our best and perform our best.
So if you want to be more productive, start by taking care of yourself. Get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and eat healthy foods. When you take care of your physical and mental health, you’ll see a difference in your work performance.
You’ll be more engaged
When you love what you do, you’re more likely to be engaged in your work. And when you’re more engaged, you’re more productive. It’s a positive feedback loop! If you find that you’re not as engaged at work as you used to be, take a look at your personal life.
Are there any areas that need improvement? Maybe you need to make more time for your hobbies or spend more time with loved ones. When we have fulfilling lives outside of work, we bring that positivity and energy into our jobs.
Investments in your business which benefits you personally too
When you invest in your business, you’re not just benefiting the company – you’re also reaping the rewards yourself. For example, let’s say you invest in a luxury condo Bangkok as an investment property. Not only will this increase the value of your business, but you’ll also get to enjoy a luxurious apartment in one of the most exciting cities in the world!
In addition, you will have a prime location for when you do business, and after hours you can enjoy all that the city offers. So when you’re thinking about investing in your business, also consider how it will benefit you personally.
You meet more people
When you mix your personal and professional life, you have the opportunity to meet more people. And the more people you meet, the more likely you are to find business opportunities and make valuable connections. For example, let’s say you’re at a friend’s wedding. You strike up a conversation with someone, and it turns out they need a product or service that your business offers. If you hadn’t been at that wedding, you never would have had the chance to make that connection. So get out there and start mingling!
Keep in mind that networking doesn’t always have to be formal – it can be as simple as chatting with someone at a party or going for coffee with a friend of a friend. The more people you meet, the better.
By mixing your personal and professional life, not only will you be more productive and engaged, but you’ll also reap the benefits of your investments. You’ll also have the opportunity to meet more people, leading to valuable business connections. So what are you waiting for?

I am a 50-something Torontonian who loves everything about my city. It’s been my home, my playground, for my entire life. I went to school here. I met my wife here. I own real estate here. I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
