Helpful tips to help you run your business better.

[Chumzy]

Most important thing is, if it is a new business, get a small source of income you can feed from, so your business can grow.
Until you have a grown business always cut down on your expenses the best possible way you can. The lesser pressure on your profit, the higher chance of success.

Excellent advice, some more important than others. Many people neglect the key points of a company and when these things happen it is very likely to fail. You also have to implement schedules and meet them, because when they are bosses they start to fail, they say that today was good for me, tomorrow I will not work! And as you say and it is something important, exercise, walk, have quality time with the family.

If you're running a business, you probably get stressed a lot.

Coupled with the fact that you have to make a lot of decisions,

It's almost always like a thousand things are happening at once, and you have no control over them.

Here are a few tips that can help you manage this

1. Always plan your days ahead.

Now, when you make a lot of decisions, you brain gets tired.

It's called "Decision Fatigue."

That's why you're always frustrated, when you can't find what to wear.

You have to significantly reduce the amount of decisions you make everyday.
When you have a schedule, it gives you some control over what happens next.

So, you have less decisions to make.

I write down my plans by 11pm - just before I go to bed.

Have you ever been at that point where you're asking "So what next?"

Exactly.

2. Be self aware.

Whenever you feel lost/confused,

Ask yourself "why".

This would help you get to the root of those emotions, thereby giving you control.

A book that helped with this is: *"The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck"*

3. Practice Discipline.

Now, self-confidence is a big factor.

When you lack discipline, your mind knows you're doing something wrong. So, you naturally feel less of yourself.But, when you are disciplined (at least to some extent), you feel good. Your confidence levels go up, and this helps you to make even better decisions.

4. Try and exercise.

This is very helpful,for a business to strive there must be realistic and practical goals to be reached

Planning should be the hallmark of business owners. We should write our aims and objectives and how to achieve it almost everyday. This will serve as a guidance and motivation for us and in return help us to imbibe in all what we can do to make our business boom.

When the business is ongoing is a good time to check the status of the income and financial status of your business. There is a good probability that you will better your business when you review the financial status of your business when it's running rather than wait until the year is over or after a quarter or some years before checking through.

Another point I want to talk a little on is planning your day ahead, like you have said prevents decision fatigue. This is very important for everyone in business to practice. Infact it will be nice to have a list of your daily activities written down.

Running a business is quite not as easy as it seems, most people who haven't ventured into a business before may think it is as easy as it sounds.
To run a successful business, the first thing one needs to have is patience, without optimistic patience one may be tempted to back off to soon when faced with a big challenge. You have to be optimistic and work hard towards making it work.
Planning the goals you wish to accomplish within a given period of time also clears all mist that might have been staring you in the eye, this way you will learn to limit or increase your expectations depending on how everything turns out to be. When your goals are planned in an orderly manner it makes everything much easier.

As a business owner we need to set out time for relaxation.
It is very important we take some quality rest in order to help our body to work effectively.
For me visiting gym house is very important at least once a week.

Yes indeed, it is important to take a rest at least once in a while to avoid the body completely breaking down. Also I think sometimes we have to step away from the business maybe once in a month to relieve one of the stress.
