5 TIPS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH LEMONS

Self-Motivation for the Self Employed

 

Running a business is an exciting challenge but what do you do when you have lost your ‘Mo Jo?’ It is bound to happen from time to time. Things get tough, disappointments happen, money gets tight or problems raise their cranky little heads. These are the times when you need to delve into your inner resources and find ways to re-motivate yourself. So when life gives you lemons what do you do with them?

Why is this so important? Well, quite frankly, you have a business to run and customer confidence is lost (as well as business) if you are in a downward spiral of demotivation. If you are lucky enough to have business partners or directors who can take up the slack when the going gets tough for you, then you’re lucky. Remember thought, their patience and understanding will wear thin if you do not learn how to get back on the motivation track quickly.

So here are a few tips for re-motivating yourself when the going gets tough…..

1.       Carefully Consider The Actions Open to You.  Is there any action you can take to change things?

2.       Carefully Consider Your Other Options. What actions can you take to move forward in a positive way?

3.       Seek Out New Opportunities. Are you doing enough to seek out and find opportunities?

4.       Find Ways to De-stress. How can you reduce your stress levels and get back in the game?

5.       Fill Your Mind With Positive Thoughts. Ever realised that what you think about is your own choice?
