Relaxation Essential To Productivity
Although as
entrepreneurs we are driven to succeed, we need to realize that
taking time to relax isn't a gift just for ourselves — it's a
necessary and indispensable part of performing at our peak. And it
helps to keep us sane.
If you want to accomplish true
success, you must take your well-being seriously; realizing it’s
easy to grow accustomed to an increased level of stress. To avoid
getting burned out, don’t just make relaxation an item on your to-do
list, but learn to rejuvenate yourself creatively by:
✔ Taking a break — even if just for a minute
Relaxation can take
any length of time and whatever forms you find appealing. Simply
tensing your muscles and allowing them to relax is an effective way
to decompress.
This can be done by finding a quiet place to
lie down. Uncross your legs and rest your palms on your stomach.
Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Tense every muscle from the top
of your head to your toes for a second or two. Then relax and clear
your mind for a moment by picturing a serene landscape.
✔
Making relaxation part of your routine
Take 15-minutes each day
for reflecting and having some downtime. Achieve clarity by
recognizing your successes, letting go of your stress, and deciding
on the best step for you to take next.
✔ Turning your
frustration into inspiration
When obstacles cross your path,
it's much easier to get riled up than it is to calm down. Instead of
becoming aggravated about occurrences out of your control, relax and
try to spot opportunities. Ask yourself, "How can this situation
fuel my success?' You will be amazed at the possibilities you
discover.
✔ Saying "no" to less important things
You are
in control of your to-do list, and therefore determine what the
priorities are. Being able to say no to the less important items is
a big part of your overall success, and people will respect your
honesty.
Remember, pay attention to any physical or emotional
symptoms that arise in response to stress. Then recognize that it’s
OK to relax, slack off, or get more sleep. Success comes from
attaining your goals — and relaxation has to be one of them

Reconnecting With Lost Accounts Can
Pay Dividends
It takes a considerable amount of time, effort, and money to get new
accounts. So when we lose them, it’s time to consider employing a
means to get them back.
Go over your records and analyze
the good accounts you worked so hard to obtain in the past. You
succeeded in getting their business, and then, for whatever reason,
these accounts just couldn’t afford to work with you on a cash
basis.
Understandably, times change. So look
for a way to rejuvenate these valuable old accounts. After all you
know each other, which will make it easier to renew the
relationship. Move forward by making a new offer … introduce them
to the trade exchange concept, where they can pay you in trade
dollars.
When you add value to a business relationship by
introducing barter, you become an asset to the other party. You're
no longer just another vendor. It’s the first step to normalizing
the relationship. Getting back those good former accounts can pay
you big dividends.

It's A Low-Return World Now
Yes, it’s true … you will get a very low return on your money
if you're investing in bonds or CDs. Most of our readers, however,
are entrepreneurs and have a different motivation. Like you, they're
relying on their own efforts and abilities in their pursuit of
building a viable business. Such action is especially important
these days with the historically low investment yields.
In
conjunction with the building of your business, keep uppermost in
your mind the value of focusing on one of the most profitable types
of investments available — your bartering efforts. When you are
doing business through your trade exchange, you’re acquiring other
needed products and services at your low variable cost, which is one
of the most efficient ways to push ahead financially.
