October brings two dates which allow us to reflect on our work and personal habits: National Work-Life Week (October 2nd – 6th) and World Mental Health Day (October 10th).
At InXpress, we believe maintaining a healthy balance between professional responsibilities and personal life is the key to long-term success. Our franchisees around the world don’t always follow the normal 9-5; many of them look for new ways to work. Whether this means being immersed in the community to personally give back, or living the dream on the other side of the world on a relaxing sunbed!

Take for example, James Griffin, one of our Top Guns based in Thailand. Despite working UK hours remotely, James enjoys a work-life balance many of us envy! His day begins with a refreshing morning swim in the tropical waters as he makes the most of the quiet early hours of Thailand, before diving into his work.
By structuring his workday around the time difference, James enjoys both productivity and personal fulfilment. This flexibility allows him to stay connected with his UK clients while enjoying the benefits of living in a beautiful, culturally rich environment. The work-life balance InXpress encourages all franchisees to aim for, shows how success doesn’t have to come at the expense of your personal life.
Why Work-Life Balance Matters
At InXpress, we know the happiness and well-being of our franchisees directly impacts their performance and future success of their business. A healthy work-life balance helps to:
- Reduce stress levels
- Boost mental health

- Make self-care a priority
- Embrace flexible working habits
- Stay organised
Being a franchisee can be tough. But we know that when you take simple steps to make yourself a priority, you’ll see healthy returns in both your business and your personal life. What’s more, having the support of a network that wants you to do better than you ever imagined gives you a sense of empowerment, which also gives you a mental well-being boost!
So, take a step back, assess your work-life balance, and explore ways to improve your routine. Your business – and your well-being – will thank you for it.
