When is it Time to Let a Struggling Business Go?

For a business owner, the business is much more than a building, a stack of invoices, boxes of products or a name on a business card. The business is a dream. It is the sweat and tears of the owners. They most likely see the business as an extension of themselves, as proof that their ideas and creations have paid off. When a business owner is faced with the possibility of letting a struggling business go, they are in a sense letting a piece of them go.

Today’s economic climate is anything but predictable. Almost every industry is seeing a record number of closings. No one is immune. However, there is also a lot of hope out there for businesses in the form of bailouts and economic stimulus packages. For a business owner wading through a downturn in business, it can be difficult to figure out if the downturn is something to ride out or if it will destroy the business. While there is no set formula for figuring out for sure when the exact time is to let a struggling business go, there are some tips that will help owners make the decision a little bit easier.

Marketing your business does not have to be overly expensive or time consuming.There are dozens of small, common sense, things any business owner can do to make a name for themselves and draw in more customers. There are 20 ways to market your business that almost any business can easily adopt.

1. Have a give-away to draw attention. This can be in the form of a free trial or first time free service for new customers.

2. Donate your products or services to area schools and charities. You can do this through silent auctions and raffles for charity. This is often tax deductible and sends out a good community vibe.

3. Saturate the market with simple to make fliers and brochures. Do not underestimate the affect of handing out your business cards to everyone

4. Sponsor a contest. Have a prize, such as your service or product free for a year to the winner.

5. Hold demonstrations such as house parties and store demonstrations to showcase your product or service. When people take a moment to see your product or service in action, they will remember you.

6. Join any local group that will give you access to other business leaders in the community. Examples include your local chamber of commerce and other business minded community groups.

7. Never underestimate good old-fashioned customer service with a smile. Maintaining a cheerful and positive disposition and making each person feel important and heard always leaves an immeasurable impression.

How Does Your Work Life Affect You Emotionally?

2010-05-04T05:52:21Z

People spend anywhere from eight to twelve hours in the work place each day. The work place isn’t just the place we do our work either. Many times, we work closely with others and develop close relationships that play an important role in life. For some, co-workers are seen more and interacted with more than family members. It is almost impossible for your work life to not affect you emotionally.

To understand how your work life may affect you emotionally, it is important to understand what emotional health really is. Emotionally healthy people feel good about themselves, where they are in life, where they are going, and the relationships they have along the way. They can also handle life and work stress with sensibility.

How you feel about your work environment and career affects you on an emotional level both inside the work place and outside the work place. For some, the work place is a hostile or intimidating environment. They may feel angry and frustrated with their current job and work place. They may even feel threatened by bosses or co-workers. If this is the kind of work life you experience, chances are you are feeling these feelings long after you clock out or pull out of the parking lot. These emotions do not subside as you leave for the day. They can and will eat away at your emotional health. You will notice over time that you feel that anger and frustration in your gut while you should be relishing family activities or having fun with friends. You will undoubtedly lash out or treat others how you are being treated at work. You may never intend on transferring these feelings to those who have nothing to do with your work place; but you will.
