How to be your personal best for your small business.
When it comes to the success of your small business, you are often your company’s greatest asset. But when you aren’t performing at your best, you may just be more of a liability. The pressure of running your own business can be taxing on the body and mind and it is crucial that you are operating to the best of your abilities. We all know that each day presents a new set of obstacles and there are a few steps that you can take each day to ensure that you are ready to face any challenge that comes your way.
Here are the three steps that you can take to ensure your success.
Start your day with a clear head.
It’s easy to begin your workday before you even get out of bed. You grab your smart phone, check your email and start clouding your head with all of your issues and obligations, all before your morning coffee. Although you think you may be getting a jump on your day, you are only causing yourself more stress.
Give yourself the morning to clear your head and prepare yourself for the day. That means leaving your phone off and letting all of your obligations wait until you get to your desk. This also means social media such as Facebook and Twitter. Filling your brain with social media junk only creates distractions from what you need to accomplish. Start clean, start simple and begin your morning disconnected from everything but your thoughts.
Prepping your body and your mind
You have heard it a million times, but you still often fail to fit in the most important meal of the day. Or maybe you remember to eat something, but it’s not the most desirable source of nutrition. Whether you fail to eat or inhale the office pastries, you are doing your body and your brain a big disservice.
Proper nutrition directly impacts your brain’s capacity to function. You know how eating a couple donuts make your body feel right after consumption. If it makes your body feel lethargic, it most definitely is doing the same to your brain. Learning to incorporate a nutritious breakfast on a daily basis isn’t only a practice of personal health, its also good for business.
Make it Count
With your busy schedule and numerous responsibilities, it can be easy to get caught up in the daily rigmarole and lose sight of what you initially set out to accomplish. Before you know it, you are kicking yourself as the sun goes down because you didn’t get to what really matters when it comes to the future of your business.
Whether it is on Sunday evening before your week begins or more of a daily routine, set a few goals to accomplish that take precedent over the daily minutia. Whether it is on your computer, on your phone or on a note pad beside the bed, writing down what you want to achieve each week can be the catalyst you need to take your business to the next level.
