You started your business with nothing-to-lose mind. Then, you just went seriously.
What happen then? Stress seems to be the first to come.
Why?
Entrepreneur, project leader, the owner, manager in chief, or other kind of boss - is ought to be restless to achieve higher and higher better performance. Any kind of performance, since you are also ought to give your customers the best to get your customers' loyalty - aren't you.
As a matter of fact, stress is a natural thing to happen. So, what to worry about stress. That statement was after I read Why Business Owners Should Never Be Happy. So I wrote this to object it.
Everyone deserves to be happy. Including any kind of boss.
Happiness is the word, as we say, a simple thing but sometimes hard to get. It is harder to get, when you put it depends on another or some other things instead of yourself. Or as an employer, you put the stress you get to your employees. You have just 'grabbed' happiness from other persons - your employees. That's rude.
When - as a 'boss' - you get stress because of something, keep it for yourself before you tell all of your team. A general meeting of all then could be held to 'fix the problem' and put the the 'right portion' on the 'right one' to handle.
A very simple and famous example is, the image below. It's a picture of my googling result of 'inside facebook office' keyword.
Well, they might be in a kind of Working Time, so the faces look serious. Or else, they knew that the picture was going to be able to be searched by google, which then I took to be my picture example for this writing.
But, look at the interior behind. It's one way to get a cheer atmosphere. Hence you will get happiness-surrounding in return.
Keep the cheer spirit to all. Let their creativity spread on their own.
Get the joy, instead of stress. Try to see anykind of stressing moment from the positive side.
Yes, it's so easy to say so hard to do. But, it's harder for us to keep on 'living in worry' - for it 'kills' you. But, try this Self Motivation.
Yes, I believe that stress of being on a higher level could be used as energy to make my mind work harder for solution(s).
It's not the problem caused by stress you need to think about - the solution or how to fix the problem is.
