Show appreciation
Creating motivation and making your team feel appreciated is a critical part of long-term productivity.

Create some privacy

7 Proven Ways to Redirect Stress Into a Powerful Success Motivator
Stress and motivation
Used effectively, stress can motivate us to accomplish more than we had imagined possible. Stress can jolt us to reach our potential. Without stress, we’d feel rudderless and without purpose.
Not all stress is bad for you
- “Good stress”: which psychologists refer to as “eustress,” is the stress we feel when we’re excited about something.
- Acute stress: when something surprises us or catches us off guard. Acute stress is the body’s response to ensure you react and take measures to deal with the unexpected situation. It has no lasting negative effects if we deal with it quickly and move on.
Build your resilience
Resilience is how we deal with stress effectively so we “bounce back” after a difficult time.
As we deal with issues that cause tension and strain, we learn to face adversity, deal with significant issues and overcome problems. We learn how to formulate realistic plans and carry them out.

- Automate. As your company grows, use automation tools for low-level work. It also allows your employees to make more meaningful contributions.
- Set boundaries. Learn to say no to low-level tasks. Set your own limits about what you'll take on.
