Small Business Stress

Many business owners are subject to business stress at some point through their business career. Stress can be challenging especially in the present business and world economic times, but there can be a number of other challenges that can impact on the business such as:

• Debtors not paying
• Staff issues
• Cash Flow challenges
• Creditors
• Business partners
• Spouses
• Asset repairs
• Client degradation
• Family

• Supply chain constraints

These all culminate to put stress on to the business owners that can cause calamities at times.

Signs of physical stress:

• Lack of sleep
• Reduction in food
• Relationship conflicts
• Irritability
• Head aches
• Back pain
• Chest pain
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Heart palpitations
• Decreased immunity

• Anger
• Insecurity
• Lack of Focus
• Forgetfulness
• Social withdrawal

Business Consultants see these symptoms on a regular basis and attempt to ensure that the environment can be changed constructively and not destructively on the business.

Change management processes and procedures assist the management and administration of the business to mitigate the risks with quality turnaround management processes.
