The Business Owner’s Guide to Resilience

How Successful Entrepreneurs Stay in Control of Their Emotions and Increase Their Resilience

“One mark of resilience is learning to tell which pain deserves our attention.” -- Eric Greitens

Everyone has potential for bad days and emotional challenges. We can choose to accept them or choose to reframe them. Controlling emotions means living life by design instead of by default.

“Motions” are the precursor to “E-motions.” You can do things to influence your emotions. Do something productive to change your thinking towards damaging emotions.

We always have a choice in how we act or react to life’s unexpected events. The faster we recover from the shock of the emotion, process through it and move towards action, the quicker our recovery will be. The direction we choose to face is always ours to make.

Sustain Your Energy in The Margins

“Tap into things that increase your energy capacity. And manage your energy for the things that matter most to you. Trust me -- it will change your life.” John C. Maxwell

There will always be things that come up out of nowhere, stealing both your energy and your calendar. The best way to prepare for this is to leave space in the margins for things that need to happen but haven’t been planned for.

What do we mean by “leave space in the margin?” It means leaving extra space to breathe, think, make adjustments and grow. Going from one appointment to the next is not sustainable. Everything needs a refresh. The key to high energy is to plan for it.

Give yourself space in your schedule for the unexpected and time to recover psychologically and emotionally for the challenges of life.

Boost your Energy with Energy Adders

“People inspire you, or they drain you. Pick them wisely.” Hans F. Hansen Almost anything can boost your energy as long as it touches you in a positive way. This can be a person, a place or an experience.

Music can be an energy booster when you intentionally listen to music that lifts you up. Thoughts and ideas that are inspiring also increase our energy.

Experience and activities that rejuvenate will be a plus on your energy meter. You might also consider spending time with people who encourage you, fun that invigorates you, exercises that strengthen you, dreams that inspire you and books that change you.

Look for ways to incorporate energy adders throughout your day and you will be amazed by how much your energy capacity increases.

Short Circuit the Energy Depleters

Gallup has proven with their studies on disengagement in the workplace that the “anything-is-possible” myth has led to many people spending years fighting uphill battles by doing what they are not good at. That is exhausting.

It’s important to know what (and who) brings you down.

Subtracting can have a huge impact in adding more energy to your life. Sometimes we need to let go of energy depleters but in order to do that we need to recognize where we are leaking energy.

It is important to recognize what depletes your energy and then be proactive in taking action to eliminate them. Ask yourself the following questions -

• What depletes me?
• What sucks the life out of me?
• Who are the energy vampires in my life?

Segment 1 Plug in to Energy Rechargers

“Energy, not time, is the fundamental currency of high performance.” Tony Swartz.

It’s better to manage your energy than to manage your time. Many of us want more time in the day but we are limited to only the same 24 hours. Instead, focus on ways to get more energy. You need a constant source of energy resupply in order to get more done. If we want to get more done and make a greater impact on the world, we need to increase our energy capacity.

Energy rechargers are things that lift you up. When you are fully charged, you get more done. Doing things that are meaningful, creating positive interactions and making choices that improve your mental and physical health are all energy rechargers. How can you add more energy rechargers in your day?

There are 3 R’s applied when focusing our energy.

They are…

• Requirement - What I have to do
• Return - What I do well
• Reward - What I love to do
