Mindset Shifts for Stress-Proofing Your Business
Stress management isn’t just bubble baths (though those are nice!). It’s about how you approach your whole business.
We set ourselves up for overwhelm with unrealistic expectations and a chaotic approach.
- Perfectionism is the enemy: Done is better than perfect, especially early on.
- The power of ‘no’: Saying no to good opportunities frees space for great ones.
- Delegate & automate relentlessly: If it’s not your ‘zone of genius’, shouldn’t be on your plate.
- Set boundaries, firmly: Clients, family, even yourself will try to push. Hold the line for your sanity.
- Buffer time is magic: Rushing from task to task spikes stress. Build in padding for the unexpected.
- Redefine ‘success’: Is it money at all costs, or a sustainable business AND a life you love?
What task currently stresses you out that you could outsource/automate?
Block 30 minutes of uninterrupted focus time in your calendar, and defend it fiercely.
