MAINTAINING YOUR WELLBEING AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER 

Your wellbeing as a business owner should be a top priority

One of the often over-looked areas of successfully running a business, is managing successfully to keep yourself physically and mentally healthy in the process. As a small business owner you have the greatest ability to bring the business success, but your absence due to ill health is one of your greatest risks.  Needless to say, you need to be enjoying your small business life – it needs to be bringing fulfilment, meaning and some level of happiness.

If you are continually stressed, lack sleep, are compromising your relationships, or your diet and exercise are poor, it will impact on the quality of the business decisions you make.  You need to build the personal resilience to ensure you can sustain the business in the long run through the good and the bad times.

We can assist in establishing where your wellbeing is by:

• Discussing how you are feeling about the business and what you would want to see change.

• Providing you with questionnaires and material that you can use to determine where you are most vulnerable if you want to self assess this.

• Building rules and actions in to the running of your business to improve the situation.

• Determining other ways to manage the risk if you can't work due to poor health (e.g. succession, insurances).
