How to Tame the Entrepreneur Zombie

Another 18-hour day has come and gone. You look in the mirror and notice subtle changes in your appearance. Your head tilts slightly to the right and your eyes appear glazed like a batch of freshly baked donuts. Discoloration patches dot both sides of your face and you think that your skin has started to peel near them mouth and nose.

The dog eat dog world of small business is beginning to turn this entrepreneur into a zombie.

Running a Small Business Doesn’t Mean an Apocalypse

Small business owners face myriad hurdles that can make their dreams of becoming an entrepreneur appear like an oasis in the desert. Government regulations, hard to manage employees, and product and service quality issues coalesce to leave you drained of the blood in your body. However, you can take steps to survive the small business apocalypses that plague other entrepreneurs.

Stress Release

Many small business owners do not have an outlet to release their stress. They allow stress to build until it boils over and provokes a zombie-like state. You mitigate stress by committing to at least 30 minutes of exercise per day. But who has time? It may seem counterintuitive, but a regular exercise regimen replenishes the energy you expend during your grueling entrepreneur day. Join a fitness center to prevent the onset of the walking dead syndrome.

The Anti Superhero

Where does it say in the entrepreneur handbook that you have to do everything? The quickest ticket to becoming a zombie is trying to be a small business superhero. The best way to prevent a small business apocalypse involves delegating responsibilities to qualified members of your team. Focus on the things you want to accomplish as an entrepreneur, and allow other employees to alleviate your stressful workload.

Sweet Dreams

Whoever says, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” can expect an early grave. A good night’s sleep rejuvenates the physical and mental motors that prevent the onset of zombie-like behavior. Moreover, a healthy sleeping pattern helps you process all of the information you assimilate during your hectic entrepreneur days. A sound, regular sleep pattern refreshes you to face the rigors of running a small business.

Broaden Your Horizons

Yes, running a small business consumes entrepreneurs. Yet, you can escape the zombie’s grip by pursuing other activities outside of work. Find an activity that stimulates your interest enough to take your mind off the daily grind up keeping your small business ship afloat and improve the quality of your life.

Toll Free Vanity Numbers

Taming the small business zombie means taking control of your small business communication. One way to take control is to channel all customer inquiries through toll free vanity numbers. Your toll free vanity numbers enhance your brand, as well as increase customer recognition of your small business. By creating a catchy slogan or two, you are on your way to putting some pep back into your step.
