Intuit Survey Finds Small Business Feel More Balance Despite Working Long Hours

MISSISSAUGA, ON, July 13, 2011 – Small business owners walk the work-life balance tightrope differently than the rest of us. Because their working lives are spent on their own business, they’re more likely to put in extra hours and still feel they’ve got more balance than a typical employee. Intuit Canada, makers of QuickBooks accounting software have released the findings of a national poll on work-life balance among small business owners and is offering expert tips to help them make the most of the time they spend on their business.

The recent national survey commissioned by Intuit found 88 per cent of the small business owners said they were satisfied with the balance between their personal and professional pursuits. The majority (84%) also feel they have a better balance than if they worked for someone else.

“Small business owners have told us before, work-life balance is as important to them as finding and keeping customers,” said Barb Anderson, QuickBooks product marketing leader. “Through QuickBooks, we help them carve out time for balance by providing tools that help organize and manage their business finances easily and more efficiently.”

Accomplishment Plus Control Equals Satisfaction

Work-life balance is often measured by comparing the amount of time spent on the job against time spent on personal pursuits. However, 97 per cent of small business owners said their view differs from the norm.

“Even though nearly half of respondents (46%) said they work beyond 40 hours a week it’s the sense of ownership over the work they do, the ability to set their own schedule and do what they want when they want that contributes to their sense of balance,” said Anderson.

Three Tips to Find Balance Through Finances:

“Working smarter, not harder is the key to making the most of the time small business owners choose to devote their work and personal lives,” said Anderson. “We talk to entrepreneurs every day and invariably, those who embraced the right tools and strategies are better able to balance their schedules.”

To help small business owners improve their work-life balance, Anderson offered the following tips to help save time when managing finances:

• Get organized: Having your financial records scattered among a host of file folders or different programs on your laptop is inefficient. Financial management software provides a one-stop snapshot of money coming in and going out of your business so you always know where you stand
• Stop stuffing envelopes: Send invoices through email and eliminate the time it takes to print, prepare and post them. In addition to cutting out the trip to the mail box, it gets invoices in the hands of your customers immediately
• Save time with your accountant: Don’t pay your accountant to spend time sorting through your shoe box of receipts. You’ll make the most of your meetings by getting organized ahead of time, and getting the strategic advice you need to move your business forward.

Share Your Better Balance Tips

Ultimately the secrets to achieving balance are as varied and personal as the more than 2.4 million small businesses in Canada. Intuit is inviting business owners to share their stories and tips on how they find balance at Facebook.com/QuickBooksCanada and on Twitter @QuickBooksca, reference #qbwlb.  Submissions will be collected from now until July 31 and made available for sharing on the QuickBooks, Facebook page in early August.

TORONTO – June 20, 2011 – The weather’s getting hot – but for many Canadian couples, their love life is, well, not.  As the years pass by, things can often get a little too comfortable (date night on the couch, anyone?) and relationships can go from blockbuster – to lackluster.

In fact, the latest K-Y® Brand Intimacy Report found that while most Canadians in long-term relationships (84 per cent) are open to discussing intimacy and sex with their partners, this tendency wanes as the time goes by.  And while 57 per cent of couples who’ve been in a relationship for three to five years say they’re getting busy between the sheets once a week or more, that number decreases for couples who’ve been together for more than 10 years.

Canadians want to ramp up their romps – 75 per cent of Canadians say they have at least some interest in increasing the level of ‘playfulness’ they experience during sex with their partners.  So what’s the problem?

The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s The Heart Truth campaign has rolled out across Canada under Bobbe Wood’s leadership.

The Heart Truth is that heart disease and stroke is the leading cause of death among Canadian women, but most don’t know it.  They believe heart disease is a “man’s disease”; in fact, women are more likely to die of a heart attack or stroke. One in three women die of heart disease or stroke, but women can reduce their risk by as much as 80 per cent by making lifestyle changes and taking action to improve their health.

Bobbe Wood is available to provide expert commentary to media on the following topics:

• Why Canadian women need to take care of their heart health
• How women can reduce their risk for heart disease and stroke
• Heart health-related questions women should ask their doctors
• Warning signs for heart attack and stroke
