5 Scary Stressors Stopping You from Succeeding in Business
If you have not been growing your business the way you want, one (or more) of the following five frights might be scaring you away from succeeding in business:
1. Lack of Money
If you are not making enough money to pay your business expenses - let alone reinvest back into your company - you cannot expect to move from where you are stalled. If you are serious about growing your business, you may have to take less in salary for a while to build up funds to put back into the company. Save up for that computer that will make your work more productive or save to hire your first employee. That investment will net you more money in the long run.
2. Lack of Time
There are only so many hours in the day and try as you might, you simply cannot get everything done or even done well. If you are stressed about how much work you have got and how little time you have to do it, you are probably failing to do anything 100 percent successfully. It is time to call in help. Whether that is the aid of a family member or a new employee, you need someone to take the pressure off of you so your business can keep progressing.
3. Your Own Expectations
You thought you would be turning profit by now. Unfortunately, reality does not align well with your expectations. It may be time to readjust those expectations; otherwise your doctor will be lecturing you about your blood pressure. Sit down and take an honest look at your business. It might be time to reconsider your approach, seek funding, or consider taking on a job while you grow your company.
4. Overwhelming Day-to-Day Tasks
You do not have time to think about your business' strategy because you are too busy putting out fires and handling a million tasks each day. Go back to #2. Get help for those daily tasks, as they are far easier for someone else to cover than your company's business strategy is. That is where you can really shine.
5. Your Work/Life Balance
You come home from a hard day of work and end up arguing with your spouse. You never see your kids. While certainly this affects your home life, it also affects your ability to successfully grow your company. Make time for your family. Be there 100 percent when you are there, not checking your phone for emails. Spend some time relaxing and work will be easier.
