3 SELF-CARE TIPS FOR SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS

By: Resourceology360

The business won’t run itself when it comes to a small business, I have heard this a many times. However, the business can’t run effectively if you are completely burned out. Owning a small business takes a lot of hard work and continuous strategies to ensure financial goals are met, with this in mind owners are working around the clock with not much rest. Staying healthy has to be at the forefront at all times because as a leader you need to feel good and be alert as your employees depend on you. These are a few suggestions that could help you in taking care of yourself regularly.

 

  1. Sleep- Most business owners don’t get enough sleep, it’s a fact. However, this is the most critical part of self-care. Sleep allows your body to rest and refresh so that you are prepared mentally for any challenges that may arise in your day to day interactions.
  2. Increase your water intake- Staying hydrated is critical and water is the most important fluid that you put in your body. There are so many benefits of drinking water for your that can keep you fueled throughout your day such as weight loss, performance, and improves overall health.
  3. Reduce Stress- Stress is normal as a business owner, however, alleviating stress can help you conquer the day more productively and proactively. Wearing different hats all the time can increase your stress levels because you are ultimately responsible for everything in the business. But taking some time out of the day to breathe, take a walk, work-out, and meditate can make a huge difference in how you face the rest of the day. 

Remember your employees are like sponges and they see everything you do and how you respond to the stressors around you, so it is important that as a leader you find healthy ways to minimize and release stress.

Every day we should recognize our employees because they are an integral part of our business success. Recognition does not necessarily have to be grand acts all the time, it can be as simple as a written note thanking employees for all the work they put in daily. One of the most important lessons that I have learned as a leader from my employees is that you can't put a price on something as valuable as showing someone they are appreciated. Small business owners have a greater need to ensure that they are recognizing employees and providing value to the work environment. Retaining good employees is an ongoing strategy that small businesses should keep in mind, everything from the hiring process, communication, employee engagement, training & development, and perks, are all key to retention.
