Business Owners Risk Selling Themelves Short During Economic Downturn

July 7, 2008 - PRLog -- As the credit cruch continues to take hold, many thriving businesses are starting to feel the pinch in profits as the cost of operating rises, yet the need for more staff seems inevitable. Dr Lisa Turner PHD is warning that business owners across the country are at  risk of selling themselves short by not capitalising on the extent of their own abilities before taking on extra staff and as a result may be “putting the very survival of their business at risk”.
Speaking at a recent workshop, Lisa Turner suggested that the most common solution for an increasingly busy business was to bring on extra staff to cope with the rising workload, but that the credit crunch had impacted on the affordability of this option.
Turner revelaed that many business owners were not maximising the potential of their internal threshold, and that by doing so would be able to cope with more and have greater clarity and focus on managing their business through tougher times.
“It is proven that the more responsibilities we have, the more stressed we are, escpecially when it comes to our workload. Everyone has an inner threshold which is completely individual and based on their own personal experiences and personality. There seems to be a finite limit to how much we can deal with and this is determined by our clairty of thought.”
“Some people have inner conflict caused by conflicting roles. For example you want to run a successful business and be a good parent. In most cases this can be the result of limiting beliefs about what is expected and what is possible” explains Turner, who has studied the mind for over fifteen years and founded her own business and personal transformation company Psycademy in 2004.
According to Turner, typical signs of an overloaded threshold include problems concentrating, lack of focus, being clumsy and accident prone, poor sleep, inahability to relax, minor illness, irritabilty or aggression.
“Low internal thresholds can easily be raised up by simple thechniques such as; healing the emotions from the past or even thinking about what tasks at work are vital and will get you closer to your goal. Simply by deleting the cluttered tasks, you will raise your spirit, allowing you to think clearly and remember the neccessities” advises Turner.
To raise your threshold you could heal up emotions from the past. Turner strongly advises releasing them using a proven technique, rather than simply suppressing (ignoring) or expressing (talking about them).
“Although suppression or expression are more common they have been proven to be ineffective at raising your inner threshold. Unresolved events from the past also affect your threshold as you will always have that particular event replaying in your mind and you will sometimes find it occurs at inappropriate times e.g. at work, in a meeting, or during a speech “ adds Turner.
