As a business owner, your business should be your greatest ally.
It shapes the person you are and the life you are living.
Unfortunately, the organization in which we work can become our enemy rather than our friend.
I work on a daily basis with business owners who are frustrated and overworked.
What do you put in?
One of the key drivers of the human condition is our desire to add value.
We want, perhaps even need, to know that the impact we have is positive.
We want to be recognized.
We want to know that our talent is influential.
We grow when we contribute, so focus on this every day.

Have you identified the strengths of yourself and your team?
Are you making the most of those strengths?
double-check that you speak with everyone in your team regularly to give them the boost they need.
This allows you to have a real impact and witness the tangible results in daily business operations.
Consider each team member, including yourself, and think about their strengths.
Now look at whether that person is doing work that plays to that strength.
Are they in a position that allows them to contribute that strength to the business?
What do you get out?
It embeds personal development planning, individual training budgets, and plenty of extracurricular opportunities.
Consistent improvement is highly motivating for you and your team.
If something motivates you, its difficult not to fall in love with it.
So, confirm your business is motivating everyone involved in it.
Where do you get your energy?
Running on empty is the quickest way to failure.
Often professionals who are not seeing the results they want continue to push harder: a recipe for burnout.
Resting is not seen as a productive way of achieving more.
But being full of energy creates an environment of success.
For my team, taking 15 minutes to meditate at lunchtime or running/walking during meetings make a huge impact.
The is true for everyone on the team.
People need rest, and youll see them perform better for it.
