Running a small business can be stressful. There is often a lot on the line. That’s why these tips from the Australian Government’s National Mental Health Commission can be useful.

• Look after yourself to look after your business. You might feel you need to focus 24/7 on your operation but this is not good for your health. Make sure you take time out to create balance.
• Manage financial distress. Don’t suffer alone. Get help. As early as possible.
• Don’t get bogged down in problems. Reflect on what you have achieved and look to new opportunities to stay refreshed.
• Connect with other business owners to share stories. Not only does it assist with problem-solving, but it also provides you with perspective and a network of others who know what you are going through.
