Are the demands of business getting to you?

Have you had second thoughts about your role as an owner/manager of your business?

Not many people understand the stress and anxiety of a boss or business owner. This is because they assume that your choice in career brings the routine of freedom while making the occasional phone call or going on an appointment.

As you know nothing could be farther from the truth. I am sure you’ve experience periods of high stress. I know that you’ve spend many nights trying to figure out how to get enough clients. I know that you’ve worked many weekends try to figure out how to market your product or services. And yet you do all this despite the concern of not surviving the first 5 years of business according to many statistics. However, it does not lessen your enthusiasm, does it?

I would like to make a suggestion. It is instead of combating the stress – embrace it. Take some time and develop some coping techniques so this stress is reduced.

A few suggestions;
• Talk to other business owners/managers and ask them for their techniques at overcoming stress.
• Take a mental health day, by getting away from it all.

For your sake, when will you do either one of these?
