Label One discuss Stress Busting Strategies for Entrepreneurs

The life of an entrepreneur is naturally quite stressful, having to take control of various aspects of their company or passion project. The London-based direct sales and marketing firm believes entrepreneurs need to start looking at how to combat workplace stresses before they spiral out of control.

Label One: About the company.

With this in mind, the customer acquisition specialists have recently been holding discussions with contractors and fellow entrepreneurs about how to combat the perils of workplace stress, particularly as an entrepreneur. The firm has come up with a list of three key strategies to overcome such issues:

Recognise anxiety is normal - according to research by the Journal of Cognitive Therapy and Research (JCTR), one of the most important steps to overcoming entrepreneurial stress is to accept that it’s part and parcel of the job. It is because of this that Label One have provisions in place for their contractors if they start feeling overwhelmed, and don’t use failure as a fear-mongering tool – quite the opposite.

Connect with fellow peers - the financial benefits of networking are obviously undeniable, but it is often forgotten how important it is for an entrepreneur's emotional well being as well as quality of life. In a recent study, it was found that a high proportion of CEO’s experienced feelings of loneliness, with an incredibly high 61 percent believe that the isolation they experienced was having a negative impact on their performance. With this in mind, it’s essential that people surround themselves with individuals that inspire and lift performance. These are exactly the types of personalities Label One look to take onboard.

Learning to prioritise - this can only really affect businesses if there are contracts and tasks on the table that are about to fall through or are piling up. As stated above, stress is a prerequisite to the life of an entrepreneur. People tend to create more stress for themselves than is necessary. Naturally, to achieve success, entrepreneurs need to prioritise so that the business doesn’t fall on rough times.

“It's important to recognise and accept stress, use your fellow peers to discuss issues and learn to reprioritise your daily tasks to help reduce stress levels. Once you’re able to do those, entrepreneurs and business executives are far more likely to change their quality of life,” stated James Masheter, Managing director of Label One.
