Tips for the Business Owner: Own Your Own Change

By Vito La Fata


As a business owner, you need to be a role model for others to follow. Are you taking care of yourself and your own personal development? How about your physical heath? Is the life you are living worth the price you are paying for it?

When evaluating your health you should think about such things as your weight, your blood pressure, your cholesterol, and whether you can move around easily. Another thing to consider is how much energy you have day to day. Wouldn't it be nice to have even twenty or thirty percent more energy than you currently have?

To be an excellent performer in business and in life so that you have the energy to play with your kids, date your spouse, do well at your career, you should be able to expend energy at a high level for short periods of time. And then you must take time to recover and rest.

The only way this can happen is if you change yourself from the inside out. And the only person who can change you is you. Someone else cannot do this for you. Granted, it is hard to do these days, because there are so many things to take our focus away from what is really important. From cell phones to computers to texting to email, there are many things fighting for our attention.

The great challenge of our times is the ability to delay gratification and put aside short term pay off in exchange for the service of long term, focused value. As Gandhi once said "Be the change you want to see in the world." Do not wait for someone else to take the lead.

This is your time to act boldly and take action in your own life. Go a different way. Get on a different road. Your self esteem will increase, your confidence will rise and your productivity will sky rocket!
