10 Tips To Double Your Business In 2010: Tip 10
And last but not least, the final tip for doubling your business this year is to be present in whatever situation you are in and to laugh as often as possible.
I know that we are all on the go all day long. It is an endless list of things to do without enough time to do them in. For me I have found that if I drive around all day telling myself how much I have to get done and how stressed I am about being so busy the day tends to pretty much fall apart. I can get myself so stressed out that I can’t even think straight and focus on the task at hand and the day ends up feeling like a waste by the end because I didn’t get anything done. However, I can take the same day and say to myself at the beginning that I know it will all work itself out, focus on each task individually and not only does the day go perfectly, but it all gets done. Being present in the situation that you are in will go a long way towards reducing your feeling of being overwhelmed and will help you be better at everything that you do. I know that it can be tough because you wear so many hats during the day with your different roles in your life, but the more you do it, the easier it gets.
And most importantly of all LAUGH! Humor cures everything! It relieves stress, puts things in perspective and can relieve tensions in every situation. Life is supposed to be fun. Even when it’s crazy busy and you are going in a million different directions. Be present and find the humor in the situation. The more you laugh the better you will feel. And if you follow these 10 tips for the year, you will see an increase in your business which will definitely give you something to smile about.
