So you’re a small business. That doesn’t mean for a second that you can’t have big dreams.
Do you find yourself drooling over successful business owners and asking, “why not me”? Don’t waste time doubting or convincing yourself that you don’t have the means to be successful. You and your small business have the ability to become a huge success if only you set yourself up for it.
For years, apartment and condominium buildings have modeled everything from their common areas to resident services after hotels, believing that if a building’s ambiance can convince someone to rent a room for a night, it can also persuade them to sign a lease or a sale contract.
What’s the best way to promote teamwork and collaboration in the workplace?
Some people dream of a job where they can sit on their bum all day. Obviously, these people don’t work behind a desk.
It’s no secret that sitting all day can be bad for our bodies, but do you know just how bad? Recent research has shown that being sedentary for long periods of time is literally killing us. Our chances are greatly increased for practically all ailments; heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, obesity, etc. And that’s not all. Sitting at a desk all day can cause major spine and alignment issues, shoulder pain, eye strain and migraines if you stare at a computer, and wrist problems if using a keyboard.

A recently released survey commissioned by the American Psychological Association found that six in 10 U.S. adults consider work to be a very or somewhat significant source of stress in their life. And for entrepreneurs, who often find themselves working longer hours for less pay, anxiety levels can be even higher, taking a toll on their business and, more importantly, their health.
While a person’s work environment can have negative effects on their mental and physical well-being – open-plan offices have been criticized for facilitating the spread of workplace illnesses – some offices also come with special services and amenities designed to help workers lead happier, healthier, and more productive lives. And it’s not just employees of Fortune 500 companies who have access to them. Thanks to the growing popularity of coworking spaces and other alternative office environments, these health-related perks have become accessible to freelancers and other self-employed individuals, including those who previously worked from home because they could not afford to lease a space of their own.
The bottom line. These three little words mean everything to the success of your business. Once you subtract all of the expenses and costs of operating a business from its revenue, you are left with the bottom line, aka pure profit.
