READER’S POLL: Are You Energized for the New Year?
New years bring new possibilities. Each year brings a clean slate and an opportunity to reset or to press on further into your plans. As a business owner, the new year means you and your team can pivot away from things that didn’t work or make a strategic effort to grow and improve certain areas of your organization. The new year can be an exciting time as you prepare to launch the initiatives that you’ve been so eagerly anticipating.
But life and business are often unrelenting. It’s understandable that some might just be worn down from difficult seasons. Nobody is able to stay “up” all the time, and we all need to take time to recharge every so often. So, where do you find yourself this new year? Are you energized and ready to attack each new challenge, or could you use a respite? Take a moment to answer in this month’s poll!
No matter how you answered…
Owning a business is a marathon. You have to treat it as such. Although it can be tempting to be the ever-present owner, you have to take care of yourself, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Make sure you’re eating right, getting enough sleep and exercise, and taking time to do things you enjoy with the people you love. When you take proper care of yourself, you can approach each new day with the vigor it deserves. In the end, you, your family, your team, and your business will benefit from you taking time to recharge.
Sometimes you need an outside voice to remind you to do the little things that lead to big results. Other times, you might neglect areas that you perceive as “low value” or “low return.” A business coach can help keep you on track, providing perspective and shining a light on blind spots like personal sustainability.
