• Do you sometimes feel ‘out of control’?
• Do you feel the business is the boss?
• Do you regularly want to want to ‘get off the bus’   

If ‘The tail wagging the dog’ springs to mind – as an executive coach I advise you as a business owner to take urgent action. 

1. Remind yourself why you’re in business and ignite the passion that drew you like a magnet to it?
2. Start enjoying the things that made you rush into work every day
3. Re-examine how many hours you work – if it’s over 50, it’s too many
4. Check out how to add most value and work a 30 hour week
5. Act like a leader – look around at what you’ve created and lead your team 
6. Stop doing it all yourself. – delegate more and get your people to bring you solutions  
7. See the business in a different light – as re my previous post is it an investment to grow your wealth?
8. Re-establish your game plan – when did you say you’d exit and enjoy life to the full?
9. Ensure the right people are on your bus. One of the biggest mistakes owner managers make is hanging on to the wrong ones 
10. Remind yourself frequently of your successes – and take pride in them
