Being the CEO of a small business can be grueling. Everybody wants a piece of you. Your sales people want a piece of you. The IRS wants a piece of you. Your insurance agent wants a piece of, and your marketing department wants a piece of you. Then factor in the kids little league game, your wife’s birthday and the hamster wheel keeps turning!
If you are the CEO of a small business then knowing and deploying these five tricks will help your stress level and your productivity.
- Learn how to delegate-You must not do everything yourself, nobody can. Learn to do only the things that you are expert at; and, delegate the rest.
- Hire the right people and put the right people in the right seats on the bus-Hiring is very serious business. It is way too costly and way too stressful to hire the wrong person. Make sure that you have a clear understanding of the candidates expectations and skill-sets. Then make sure that they match the needs and qualifications of the job.
- Take a vacation every three months-Yes every three months. Avoiding burn-out is paramount. Please note that a vacation does not have to mean getting on a plane to Tahiti. It can simply mean not going to the office or taking calls while you lounge at home or are on the golf course for a few days.
- Grow yourself-Continued self-development has been proven to help ease the stress and burden of a demanding job like yours. Learn how to meditate. Learn how to visualize. Learn how to calm negative self-talk.
- Have more gratitude-Gratitude gives you altitude. It is imperative that you find ways to have gratitude every single day. Think about it. You are able to read this blog.
