In this episode, we dive into the topic of stress in the workplace. If you are a team leader or manager, you likely face stress daily. The good news is that you're not alone; leaders everywhere are experiencing the same challenges. Join us as we share three effective strategies to manage workplace stress and maintain your well-being.

Key Points:

1. Self-Care: Prioritize Yourself

   • Remember, you are number one, not your job.
   • Start each day with meditation or prayer to set a positive intention.
   • Incorporate daily exercise—whether running, walking, or cycling—to prepare yourself physically and mentally.
   • Aim for 6-7 hours of quality sleep each night to maintain your energy levels.
   • Set boundaries to protect yourself from negativity in the workplace.

2. Master the Art of Delegation

   • You don't have to do everything yourself; recognize that you’re not Superman or Superwoman.
   • The belief that only you can do it right is a myth.
   • Delegate tasks to your team and lighten your load.

3. Train Your Team to Make Decisions

   • Empower your team members to make decisions independently.
   • Encourage them to think critically by asking, "What do you think the decision is in this situation?"
   • If they say they don’t know, follow up with, "If you did know, what would be the decision?"
   • This approach encourages them to tap into their problem-solving abilities.

In today's podcast episode, we dove into the nitty-gritty of starting your own business versus working for someone else. Our host shared some thought-provoking advice and stories, kicking off with an intriguing chat inside an LA fitness sauna—a place you wouldn't expect to overhear business wisdom!

The conversation centered around the high turnover in small businesses and how often, despite the dream of being your own boss, the real winners are often the landlords and suppliers. It's a sobering reminder of the risks involved in entrepreneurship and the harsh realities of business survival.

Our host also reflected on personal experiences and anecdotes, like the tale of a bellman who aspired to escape the 9-5 grind, highlighting the often overlooked fact that running your own business can mean even longer hours. It's not just about escaping a job you hate; it’s about being ready to commit more time and energy than ever before.

The episode wasn't all cautionary tales though. There was an inspiring discussion about the potential to make it big even as an employee, with examples from top companies like Facebook and Tesla where early employees ended up multimillionaires thanks to stock options.

Additionally, our host recommended the book "Delivering Happiness" by Tony Hsieh, the late CEO of Zappos. This book not only explores the highs and lows of leading a successful business but also how to create a company culture that wows customers.

Overall, this episode serves as a real-talk primer for anyone looking to venture out on their own or considering it. It pushes you to think beyond the allure of entrepreneurship and consider the real, tough challenges that come with it. Whether you’re dreaming of startup life or climbing the corporate ladder, there's invaluable insight here for you. So, grab a copy of "Delivering Happiness," reflect on your aspirations and decide if you're ready to take that plunge or maybe find a path to riches in your current role.
