In today's episode, Anna looks at how taking care of your own mental and physical wellbeing will serve you, your employees and clients, and your friends and family.
It's a complete fallacy to believe that pushing yourself to the limit is going to get you the results that you're after. In fact, taking care of yourself, and of your mental, physical, emotional, spiritual health, is absolutely critical for a number of reasons. Even from a pure business results- and profits-focused angle, taking care of yourself is going to give you more clarity, you're going to be more productive, and you're going to be able to make a bigger impact as a result. If you're a CEO and people manager, then you're also acting as a role model and setting the tone for your organisation and so it's your responsibility to send the right message to your employees. On the other hand, if you're a solopreneur or a 'company of one' then you *are* your business, in which case your health is absolutely paramount to the success of your business.
Beyond the focus on results, however: why on earth did you start this business in the first place, if not to have more freedom and flexibility, to enjoy your work, to find it fulfilling - without jeopardising your health and relationships in the process?
