Do you constantly hate the thought of going to work? Do you feel like you should not be doing as much work as you are currently doing?

These are signs of burnout and you must avoid business burnout so that it doesn’t have adverse consequences on your business.

In tackling business burnout, it is important to identify the source of the stress.

• What tasks are causing the extreme tiredness and irritation that you are feeling?
• How are you reacting to the source of the stress?

The answers to these questions would guide you in preventing burnout. Find new ways to tackle the task that is causing you issues and make changes to that part of your life.

Many small business owners try to do everything in their business – they want to be involved in every aspect. This is likely to cause stress. Try to delegate as much as possible and focus your attention on only the most important matters.

Another way to avoid burnout is to take up new challenges and activities. Find interesting activities to distract you from the boredom of your day job. By finding other things to do, you will feel renewed and rejuvenated and stress would not be a word in your dictionary.

Ensure that you are not so focused on your work that you do not have time for yourself.

Get support from your loved ones. Build relationships and friendships with people. This would fortify you emotionally against stress.

Think positively and banish every negative thought from your mind.

Have high hopes about the success of your business. This positive attitude would help you tackle stress and burnout.

In summary, learn to relax. Work is important but it isn’t everything. Build up other aspects of your life. Try to learn a skill or two. Find ways to have fun.
