Balancing Work, Life and Fun in Mexico – Villa Group Recruiting

If you’ve just moved from another city or country to live by the beach in Mexico it can be very daunting when you have to start in a new job. You will need to find the right balance between work, play, and time just for you when starting again in a new location. Below are some useful tips to help you get the best out of your great opportunity!

Balancing Work, Life and Fun in Mexico

Time Management

The importance of time management cannot be over emphasised. It is not only related to your work ethic, but is also to do with your quality of life. It relates not just to turning up to work on time, but also to setting time aside for yourself to ensure you don’t burn out. Your new life in Mexico is a great opportunity to enjoy your work and life a little more.

If you are working in the sales or promotion industries, it is a common practice to think that you need to work as much time as possible to meet expectations, especially those which are related to commission based jobs. Sometimes this can be counter-productive as if you are tired, sore, or grumpy it can affect your performance in your job and maybe it would be better to go home, take a rest and recharge your batteries. If you seem unhappy in yourself, no-one will believe what you say about how relaxing and wonderful the resorts are. Also, if you take time in planning your work timetable, you are likely to have a great day, be in a good mood, and this can create more positive results and maybe additional sales.

Eat Well, Eat Regularly

This is very good piece of advice to follow if you want to ensure your success in your new job in Mexico. It has been scientifically proven that you are less efficient and productive when your blood sugar levels are low. You need to make sure you stop working through your lunch break. If you have to occasionally, ensure you eat healthy foods, snacks and drinks. Some pancakes and honey along with a few apples will help to maintain your healthy blood sugar levels by giving you the necessary complex carbs you require.

You need to make sure you take good care of yourself as when you work in sales your commissions can be directly linked to your friendly and warm attitudes.

See the Sights!

Make sure you spend some time exploring your new home in Mexico as getting out and about will help to stimulate your mind. You also need some time to simply do nothing, but the interesting sights can become a topic of conversation with your friends, your family, and even potential clients. So get out and explore your new playground.

You need to make sure that you do things just for yourself now and then as this will prevent you from stagnating, i.e. feeling down, lonely, or lost.

Know When to Say No

Many of the big beach towns in Mexico like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas are big party towns and in this business it can make or break you. You have to find the healthy balance between work and the fun times. You should make sure you take enough time off for yourself to enjoy the entertainments, but you must realize that drinking every night can have a detrimental effect on your work. Working for the Villa Group in Mexico can be a great stepping stone in your career, but you must make sure that although the party scene can be a great way to avoid any burn out, it shouldn’t take place every weekend.

The key to a successful career is to find the perfect balance between work, responsibilities, health and play.
