Business leaders are passionate and strong-willed. It’s what makes them great at what they do. You have to be committed to your business in order for it to grow and prosper, but that often comes at the expense of something else. For some, the sacrifice is made with their social lives; others miss time with family and friends now to have freedom later. However, there’s one area of your life you cannot neglect if you want to be the best business leader you can be: your health. As we recognize American Heart Month this February, our team at CHB implores you to take a look at the ways in which you can be healthier, starting with this list. Sleep more, sleep better. Catching some z’s is one of the most important things you can do for your body. While you’re in dreamland, your body is cataloging memories, repairing your muscles, regulating your hormones, and doing many other actions to repair from the day you spent living. But it’s not just about getting enough sleep; you also need quality sleep. By doing so, you will have more energy and stay more focused, and you will make healthier choices for yourself and your business. Get moving.
CHB is looking forward to joining hundreds of other professionals at the National Equipment Finance Association (NEFA) 2022 Finance Summit on March 23–25. We always enjoy meeting and collaborating with fellow experts to gain new insights and learn more about We’re Going to NEFA in March!
Between meetings, family obligations, and simply finding time to rest, it’s hard to incorporate movement into your daily routine. So, change your routine! Instead of sitting for your morning huddle, go for a walk with your team. Or, schedule a weekly family hike on the weekends, or ride a stationary bike a few miles while catching up on email. Make a conscious effort to incorporate movement into your daily routine, and you’ll notice some changes. Seek emotional support. One study found that 72% of entrepreneurs struggle with mental health issues. While you may not be an entrepreneur, any position of
leadership in business can put you in this same vulnerable place, and when you don’t address it, you risk further hurting yourself and your business. It’s vital that those who are struggling mentally and emotionally seek professional, personal, or group support for their own happiness and business success.
