Bad things do happen, and sometimes, they may happen to you. But when you have a business to run, you need to make sure your crisis period doesn’t interfere with your decision making.

Here are a few tips for you to help with managing your business while in a personal crisis:

1. Get Support

A good thing about the experiences we face in life is that we’re not the first to pass through such. There are friends, colleagues and mentors that can offer guidance having been through the same path. If you’re going through a medical condition yourself, support must include medical or psychological assistance too.

You need to be aware of your emotional health at this point.

  • Are you waking up happy or sad?
  • Is your work beginning to bore you?
  • Are you giving positive or negative vibes about your business?

Try to break routines that you feel are contributing to those negative emotions, if your work environment is stressing you, maybe you can move stuff to your home if it helps put you in the right frame of mind.

Changing your environment can be that push that brings in fresh ideas especially at this moment, try to exercise to deal with that…
