Understand the Commitment and Challenges Involved in Starting a Business

When you manage your company, you decide on the hours so nobody will tell you to start or stop working at a certain time. It is easy to fall in the trap of always being connected and available without taking time to pause. Wanting to do too much is a threat to your mental health and is risky because if you burnout, since you are the brain and manager, your business will suffer the consequences.

TIPS

• Pause regularly: Spending time with your family and sleep are often taken for granted, but they give you the mental balance you need to lead your enterprise without going crazy and giving up. Take breaks, days off, exercise to spend and regain new energy, but plan things in your weekly schedule that are not related with work.
• Delegate the work: As explained earlier, finding a business team and employees you can trust is vital. It may not be easy to let people do things for you when you have a specific idea of how things should be done, but you should come to terms with it.
• Be organized: Being organized is what will allow to put some time apart to spend doing another activity you love without thinking of your business.
