Mental Health tips for Business Owners
If I see one more ‘unprecedented times’ in an email newsletter I am likely to scream. We all know ‘it’. We are in ‘it’ and ‘it’ will take a considerable time to be back to ‘normal’. We will get through, we will adjust and transform.
In the attached video here are 3 tips to support Business Owners mental health. The weekend is coming and we are unlikely as business owners to get much downtime.
The 3 tips on mental health for business owners

Also stay connected to others, using FaceTime, messenger, zoom, Skype, Webex – who knew there were so many video conferencing services. One thing I’m learning is to navigate them all.

Stay safe. Remember we are all in this together, you are not alone – we are well supported with government policy. Keep yourself busy and active.

Only give ‘head space’ to the things that are in your control and you are able to influence.
