Congratulations, we’ve made it to Friday! This week has been stressful at times, but when things get crazy I just take a step back, remind myself that I don’t have to be perfect, and continue with a fresh, clear mind. Take that, to-do list!
Now before we head out for our celebratory cocktail we’re delivering #THRIVEable Friday, our weekly list of tips, hacks and resources to help you thrive. Take a breather – you got this.
Entrepreneurship…LIKE A BOSS.
Collaborate Carefully
It seems everyone has jumped on the collaboration train, but can it be detrimental to your business’ productivity? This article from Entrepreneur gives a rundown of four times collaboration can bite you back.
Encourage Feedback
Giving and receiving feedback is a critical step in building and maintaining good relationships and dynamics in the office. In this post from Inc.com, Dan Levy lays out tips for creating an office environment that encourages feedback so managers and employees can know what they are doing wrong and doing right.
Face Challenges Head On
For entrepreneurs, hardships and challenges are inevitable. But instead of fearing these setbacks, what if you embraced them? This article via Forbes discusses how challenge and adversity actually helps you improve your career. After all, how can you grow if you’re not challenged?
Tips and Tools to Empower Your Life
With more and more aspects of both business and personal life becoming digital, your online security is increasingly critical. That means stronger, more secure passwords (no more “password” passwords). But how do you remember those complicated jumbles of letters, numbers and symbols without resorting to writing them down? That’s where Lastpass comes in. This handy app requires you to remember one password – the one you use to log in to the app. After that, it stores and recalls all of your passwords so you can continue your digital doings with peace of mind. The best part? You can use Lastpass on multiple computers, and add it onto your smartphone with a premium account. Hackers don’t stand a chance.
