Put a Little Steak Sauce on Your Day by Dave Ramsey It's no secret that I'm passionate about what we do. I've always been on fire for our mission. But sometimes that zeal to help others can get the best of me, especially when I first started my business. My company began on a card table in my living room. My team consisted of me, myself and I. But as the business grew and I began adding people to my staff, I noticed I was actually getting less done—even though I had help. My productivity was bottoming out, and I didn't know why. I was still super excited about our mission. But each night when I came home, I headed straight toward the couch. I felt like I was going 200 miles per hour all day and had nothing left in the tank. And the worst part? When my wife, Sharon, asked me what I did each day, I had absolutely no idea. It seemed all I did was put out fires. Read more and join the conversation at EntreLeadership.com.

Quick Tip By John Felkins EntreLeadership Coaching and Community The last few years have been rough for a lot of small-business owners. And yet, many of them have not only managed to hang on but to also prosper. So how do they keep going when facing so many obstacles? Here's what I've found. When you get really tired, you don't have a lot of fight left in you. So first, you have to take care of yourself. Get in shape, eat good food, and get enough rest—literally feed the engine. I've also learned the harder they work, the less they worry. It's kind of odd, because hard work often solves the problem. If you get into trouble, just keep your feet moving. Together, these two simple solutions can change your life and your company for the better.

Most of us naturally don't want to disappoint others. My mom gave me some great advice that has really helped me. She said, "Christy, if they are going to have the nerve to ask you, you have to have the nerve to say no." I love that. I don't have to feel bad or guilty or worry about letting someone down. That person initiated the conversation by making the first request. I have to value myself and protect my priorities enough to say no. It's hard at first. But once you get the hang of it, saying no actually feels good. It makes you feel more powerful—like you have a say in your own life. Imagine that! About Christy Christy Wright challenges and inspires people across the country to live the life they dream of. As a practicing life coach, she is passionate about speaking on personal development, time management, women in the workplace and money matters like budgeting and avoiding debt.
