55 Seconds To… Less Stress

No pictures, not much text. Just 55 seconds until you're giving great customer service:

1. 24 Hour Increments

Shut out the past and don't consider the future. Simply ask yourself: Can I manage my problems just for today?  Then, tomorrow, ask the sames question.

2. How Is This Funny?

Ask yourself how someone could find this stressful situation to be funny.

3. If It Isn't Funny, What Would Make It Funny?

If you can't find anything funny about the situation, what could happen to make it funny.  The key here is that laughter is natures best way to release stress. You MUST laugh.

4. Is It Worth It?

Consider the cost of stress (hint: it's your health).  Is stressing over this really worth the cost of your health.

5. Walk It Out

The other natural way to release stress (laughter being one) is to exercise.  While you might not be able to jump into your gym close at the moment, you can also go for a walk.

    Making it funny and loving what you do is what separates the have from the have-nots in small business.

    If you can really get into what you are doing, laugh about it and be obsessively passionate about it, then you will have what it takes to put in the hours required to get the business of the ground.

    It’s the people that are buried in stress that are the ones that don’t make it to where they want to go.
