Can You Cope With the Stress of Being An Entrepreneur?
Being an entrepreneur is not easy but it’s
quit fun and interesting too. An entrepreneur always required to be sticking
with the action, taking new challenges, accept new change in life or career and
a good learner. It easy to write about an entrepreneur but very difficult to
keep yourself there.
Growing a business is similar to a high-speed roller coaster, it has
ups, downs, twists, and turns. sometimes you just feel like to give up still
you are attach with your goal and once the roller coaster ends, you’re itching
to hop on the next exhilarating ride.
An entrepreneur’s journey is not like a fairy tales, which often inspires
others to take the risk and follow a similar path— just look at the lives
of Richard Branson, Elon Musk, Bill
Gates and the late Steve Jobs.
The facts
What motivate
someone to become an entrepreneur.
According to a 2014 Stress in America study of 3,068 adults
age 18 and over by the American Psychological Association (APA), stress is
prevalent among Americans. Of the respondents, money was the most commonly
reported stress factor.
If you’re an entrepreneur, you’ve already accepted the fact that stress
is part of the job. But truth is most of the entrepreneurs have a higher rate
of mental health problems. Unfortunately, your issues aren’t going to magically
disappear and as leader it’s vital you maintain your health for the benefit of
yourself and your business. So it’s a biggest deal how to maintain a healthy
and well-balanced life.
A survey showed that 90 percent of top performers know how to manage their emotions in times of stress so that they remain cool, calm, and able to do what needs to be done.

That’s
an important lesson in and of itself for all of us - because all of us
experience stress in our lives. Research has shown that some stress is good for
us: it helps us perform at optimal levels. Too much stress,
however, can have serious psychological and physiological repercussions and now
a days it’s become like a general tendency too.
Since we can’t necessarily avoid most stress
- especially in our work environments - it’s to our benefit to learn how to
deal with it and learn from the examples of those who are already successful.
There are some strategies in common when it
comes to managing stress.
Showing gratitude for what they have.
They stay positive.
It’s not easy to positive in negative period
of time But successful people tend to be those who see opportunities for growth
masquerading as failure, and who look for the lessons learned when something
goes awry, instead of allowing in what could’ve/should’ve been. Maintaining a
positive outlook throughout your life can bring success in your life, It’s
a popular and proven stress management tool, stress management tool can
free you from all sorts of mental disease and bring success and peace in your
life.if negative thoughts puzzle your mind , just filter it with positive
thoughts what u did in before . If you find yourself dwelling on something
negative, try adding, “But what I can learn from this”. Take negative
experience with positive thoughts.
They focus on progress, not perfection.
No one is perfect in this world even mahatma Gandhi was not a full perfect person too , no one in this world is fully perfect personality . Not even the most successful people on the planet are perfect. Richard Branson, for example, has had some well known failures in his time, yet has always been blunt about his belief that you fail quickly, fail big, learn from it, and move on. So everyone do mistakes, everyone fail some certain period of time but winner are those who never give up and accept the failures too.
Self-care or Self love
Self care and self respect is very important
for everyone those who wants success otherwise no one can support you if you
can’t support yourself. Successful people often have the presence of mind to
realize that they must care for their most important asset - themselves - in
order to continue to be successful. Prioritize healthy habits like getting
enough sleep, limiting caffeine and alcohol, getting proper exercise, and
switching off from technology periodically. A truly successful person will
strive to find balance to help moderate his stress.
Maintain routines.
Maintain routine sometimes helps you to stick
with your goal every time or can say it’s a way to get success. but while
making routine we should know the time management and one major cause of stress
is the number of decisions we have to make in a day. Every decision from food to
hiring and firing decisions weighs on us and causes us stress. Extremely
successful people - Don’t want
to make decisions about what they are eating or wearing. Because they have too
many other decisions to make. They need to focus your decision-making energy. They
need to routinize themselves.
Connect with your
goal from heart to heart
Give yourself permission to unplug from your work environment, even if
it’s just for a few minutes out of the day. sometimes relaxation needed
otherwise you can’t survive give at least 1 hour morning time for silence to
practice mindfulness meditation. “I’ve found that clearing your mind completely
once in a while, allows your subconscious insights to come through. For me,
meditation is kind of big medicine.
A proper diet and exercise will boost your mental and physical energy. This
is how are you handling the stress of starting, growing, or managing your
company?
I hope you find these strategies useful. As
always, I am keen to understand how do you manage stress in your life?
