We’ve reached the end of our series on Inc. Magazine’s 25 Ways to Jump Start Your Business. And one of the best ways to jump start your business is to jump start yourself.

Most people don’t do their best work when they’re stressed to high levels. Things have been crazy here at the Roundpeg office (in a good way!), but sometimes the madness can get to you, sap your energy, and require you to take a step back.

Sometimes, a group lunch with all of our employees is a great way to laugh and release some tension. Sometimes, maybe you just need to take a day off and find your center again.

    Very thoughtful article. For a fresh take on building strong careers and families, check out Getting to 50/50 — on how men and women share roles with all sorts of good results — including a healthier sex life. The book also debunks some common myths that cause many moms to back away from their jobs. Authors Sharon Meers (a Goldman MD now in tech) and Joanna Strober (a private equity exec) share their often funny tales of combining work and family. Definitely a book worth checking out. http://www.gettingto5050.blogspot.com
