| If you sit quietly and think for a few minutes, where is the pressure coming from? Is it the constant demands from colleagues? Is it the responsibility? Is it coming from yourself? Figuring out what sits uneasy with you will give you a starting point to take action. Learning to listen to your gut and then using it to produce a positive change, but not just for you - for your whole team. The good thing here is that you're the CEO and that means you are in control. You've gone through nearly the first 2 years on adrenaline, hard work and probably a good dose of hype. That is probably wearing off now as you transition into the next stage. That means you need the room to take a breath. Your team won't say it but they probably need it too. You have probably put a lot of things on the back-burner while you were getting started. For sustained success you need to re-prioritise mental and physical health above all else. For this to be sustainable, it's time to optimise for happiness. |
