Are you feeling the stress of being a business owner? If so, you're not alone.

Fortunately, there are some simple things you can do to reduce stress in your business and make sure it doesn't get out of control. Here are five ways you can reduce stress in your business:

1) Cash management tool – Profit First Methodology

Profit First is a cash management tool that helps businesses focus on profit first, pay themselves second and then grow the company third through taxes, reinvestments or distributions. This methodology encourages businesses to keep their profits separate from their expenses so they can see exactly where they stand financially at all times. This makes it easier for them to make smart decisions about spending and saving money so they have more options when they need them most!

2.) Charge more - don't resent what you charge and offer poor quality service because of it

It’s hard to believe, but charging more for your services will reduce stress. It’s counterintuitive, but it works. If you charge less, you’ll get desperate and take on more clients and jobs, which means more stress. The more desperate you are to make money, the less likely you are to be able to provide a good service or product.

3.) Build some procedures so your staff stop asking questions

This sounds like a simple thing but it takes time and effort to make sure everyone knows what their role is and what they need to do. If there are too many questions being asked about how things should be done then this can increase stress levels among your team members because they won’t know if they’re doing things right or not.

4.) Hire people you trust and give them the authority to make decisions (yes, they will make mistakes at times - same as you)

Hire people you trust and give them the authority to make decisions. If you're not able to hire good people or delegate responsibility, it's time for a change. Hiring someone who is trained and experienced will help you save money, increase revenue and make your customers happy. Delegate as much as possible so that your employees feel empowered and valued by their work.

5.) Build up a financial reserve so you may take a break without having to rely on the company to pay you while you are away.

It's not just about saving up enough money so that you don't have to worry about paying bills when your time off comes around; it's also about making sure that there is enough capital in place so that your business can continue operating without any interruptions when someone else needs to step in and fill your role temporarily or permanently.
