Another week in the books! One benefit to a long weekend is that it makes for a shorter work week. Things have been extra hectic for Team Belle – we’ve been playing catch-up after the holiday AND prepping for the Ohio Growth Summit next week! Will we see you there? If you’ve procrastinated on registering (been there), use the code KATE20 to get 20% off the whole event. Then come to Kate’s session and meet our team in person!
For now, check out this week’s #THRIVEable Friday, a roundup of our favorite articles, tips, tricks and tools to help you get ahead in and out of the office. Enjoy!
Entrepreneurship…LIKE A BOSS.
Avoid Burnout.
Could your passion and drive for your startup head to burnout? The very things that can help you succeed can also create too much stress and make you lose steam fast. This article describes the three types of burnout entrepreneurs commonly experience and how to avoid them. So keep calm and carry on!
Letting Go of Control.
As an entrepreneur, control is part of who you are. But what about the things that are beyond your control? This article advises entrepreneurs how to manage their attitudes and let go of control when faced with decisions or situations that are out of their hands.
Create a Happy Workplace.
Employees are not only a critical component of your business but also can be its biggest advocates. Taking the time to make sure your employees are happy can help both your company and your relationship with your employees. This post describes six ways to create a happier workplace.
Tips and Tools to Empower Your Life
They say there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. For business, I’d add another one – contracts. Whether you’re adding a new employee, signing a new client or creating a partnership for your business, contracts are a fact of the entrepreneur’s life. That’s why HelloSign is so handy.
Save some trees and skip the paper contracts while making it easier for all parties involved. With HelloSign, you simply open your file, add a signature and send. Easy-peasy. The app is also integrated with Dropbox, Box and Evernote, so you can easily access your documents.
