We forget that good events cause stress as much as negative experiences. Today’s paper had an article about promotions. Lots of executives find themselves in positions that call for a whole new way of viewing their careers. They spend more time in meetings. They supervise others instead of doing what they love to do.
The same principle holds in starting a business. Success comes from creating repeatable processes and marketing- not doing what you love.
Taking a step backward is rarely the answer. I find my clients get even more stressed when they take a step back. You have to get used to moving up…or consider jumping ship.
