Do you feel like you are being suffocated by your business? Its definitely a rollercoaster of emotions running a business. You are the one responsible for the business and often employees too, you keep that smile and like a swan everything is calm on the surface, but behind the scenes you are frantically working to keep things moving. Though sometimes it can get on top of you - thats ok, I am sure every business owner will tell you that they have been in that situation. Its making sure that you can get out of this cycle thats important. Do you have the right support for you? Do you ensure that you are looking after yourself? I have a great support network around me and when I start to feel overwhelmed I write lists and prioritise what is to be done. I also take a walk to give myself thinking time. What do you do when you start to feel suffocated by your business? What tips do you have for others? I'm Ben, and I help business owners reduce stress by giving clarity on their numbers, alongside putting plans in place so they can spend more time with their families

I was absolutely at this stage a couple of months ago. You definitely need to step back and prioritise what’s important and plan a strategy for more efficient working. I see lots of our clients in this position.

Clarity on numbers can be the best way of getting some breathing space for small business owners. So they will be able to work on the business and not in it

Taking a walk is my go-to as well. Hang in there, we're all in this together!
