The good days in small business are great. The bad days, when everyone wants a piece of you and you have no time to do anything properly, can seem like a whirlwind.
You go home and you feel swamped by the demands on your down time. And then you wade into the sea of paperwork that awaits your every night. There just doesn't seem to be an end to what you need to do.
Now, don't get me wrong: some stress can be good for you. It can give you the boost you need to blitz a client presentation, or to achieve a deadline you never thought possible. It can help you rise to the occasion and juggle the demands of business and family.
The flipside is that the physical effects of all this stress can be a negative in your life. As a small business owner, you owe it to your business, and to yourself, to be in the best health you can be.
So keep your stress levels in check, and recognise when you really do need a break.
