The business and business

When business not in pleasure...

Still yesterday you as if flied on wings, infecting subordinated by the energy. But suddenly in a shower something has broken: old projects any more do not carry away, new do not bring expected profit. It seems, that forces to continue lifting are not present more. What to do? To turn off the road and sell business or to make a respite, to change the relation to the adjusted business?

Work to rest not a hindrance

Even the most skilled and hardy businessmen lose courage from time to time. After all psychophysiological possibilities of any person have limits. And when pressure reaches a point «х», there are dangerous symptoms. From the first morning hours the life poisons sensation, that on what there is no time. Energy runs low, and on its place apathy and disgust for the business comes. So the vigorous chief, gushing forth ideas, turns in irritable and all dissatisfied придиру which becomes a brake to own business. Psychologists name these emotional displays «a combustion syndrome».

– We carried out research of the adverse factors influencing the relation of the person to work, – Galina Melnikova, the general director of company HR Rartners tells. – It has appeared, that Russians among the reasons, inducing to leave the work, in 80 % of cases name absence of balance between it and private life. By the way, we verified the conclusions with foreign data. It has appeared, that in other countries for the same reason throw the business to 60 % of businessmen. Suffer from «a combustion syndrome» and people who have a rest too little more often.

– The head should force to go on leave itself and in literal sense to expel on a vacation of the subordinates, – Galina Melnikova speaks. – Besides, it is necessary to remember always that days off exist to have a rest, spend time with a family, instead of for professional trainings. It is necessary to be able to find time for study in the working days.

From here the most simple way to avoid apathy to business – balance creation between work and private life. But not always the reason on which the businessman is bothered with the business, is covered only in physical weariness.

Aimlessly lived years

The owner of the company on sale of a foodstuff Gleb Yakushkin has closed five years ago successful computer firm to test in new business. Former success to achieve it was not possible. Now Yakushkin considers what to turn off business only that it became uninteresting, – a serious error. But at that time it could not arrive differently: it went to office as if on penal servitude, and even holiday did not return it a former elation.

– Quite probably, that Gleb has left the business of that work brought to it negative emotions, – the owner of the Moscow branch тренинговой believes the companies «World centres of mutual relations» Michael Stepanov. – disappointment, irritation, a rage – all it leads to weariness. And positive feelings, on the contrary, promote that the businessman is ready to work long and is quickly restored after serious loadings.

Often waves of "negative" start to overflow consciousness when the person does not realise the true purposes for the sake of which he does the business.

– Many cannot admit to themselves that in the life give too big place to work, – Galina Melnikova speaks. Is it is fraught опустошенностью and a breakdown. One my client, the vice-president of bank, last three months for 16 hours a day works over the new project. And the more close board of directors which should either accept it or reject, the more it plunges into a stress condition. Besides, he has made decision to throw the business if the project appears unsuccessful. Abundantly clear, that from it will suffer also bank, and he. It is necessary to remember always, that any project is yet all life.

– To work with pleasure, the businessman should answer precisely a question, what for business is necessary to it, – Michael Stepanov tells. – and the financial purpose is only iceberg top. It is necessary to understand, what for to you the earned money, for example, that you wish to buy on them. And then – to present, as your life will change, that you will feel, when will become the owner of these things. These feelings – your ultimate goal. And from that, the feeling to which you wish to come is how much positive, will depend, it will be how much difficult to go towards the aim to you.

– We will assume, you have understood, that work to earn money for the good car, – Michael Stepanov speaks. – for what it is necessary? If that you and your family travelled to safety it will be easier to you to receive the necessary sum. And here if the true purpose – to ego-trip before friends work will be accompanied by constant pressure and weariness.

Mine – not mine

Nothing creates so many negative emotions, as thought that you are engaged in not the business, that the chosen sphere of work – not your calling.

But often happens what to understand, whether business or not, difficult is pleasant to you. Small troubles bring to nothing all joyful emotions which you receive from own business.

Michael Stepanov offers such way to "test" the business:

– Ask itself a simple question: whether you are ready to be engaged at least month in the firm free of charge, only just for the hell of it. If is not present – means, it has not put your life.

There is also other way to understand the feelings. Try to throw virtually the business and analyse, you from it test what feelings.

– I have once resolved a difficult dilemma, having made of the decision «from the return», – Michael Stepanov tells. – during any moment it was very difficult to me to type students on trainings, and I tended to thought to transfer the company in external control. I have presented, that courses any more do not belong to me, and has started to analyze the feelings. It became soon clear, that the simplification is not present. I still tested discomfort. Then I have understood, that complexities which I had at a set of people on courses, brought to me less frustration, than thought on parting with business. But why?

I have started to think of difficulties which has faced, and have understood, that they even are useful to me: I train, study to be the businessman. I have understood, that my true purpose – training. And me it became much easier.

If the decision to throw the business nevertheless is accepted before to chop off all ends, it makes sense to go to holiday, and last day a vacation again to think of, whether this decision is pleasant to you. The main thing, during holiday not to torment itself with thoughts on business, and to postpone the definitive decision for last day.

New impressions

If the imagined situation, that your firm was closed, does not bring satisfaction, it is necessary to reflect how to struggle with negative emotions which accompany your daily activity. Michael Stepanov suggests businessmen to change a sphere of action within the limits of the company:

– For example, the owner of firm spends many forces for struggle against larceny, – tells Stepans. – he orders tracking chambers, supervises their installation at firm office, gives talks with employees. But to liquidate larceny all the same it is not possible. It causes in it negative emotions and, as consequence, apathy. Means, the owner needs to be switched to absolutely other site of work – to head research of the new markets, it is more attention to give to work with key clients. And for the decision of the problems connected with safety to employ experts. It will help to see new sides of the business.

Good way to freshen feeling which brings поднадоевшее business, – to get additional profile education. Oleg Koltsov, the co-owner of firm on manufacture of the high-precision measuring equipment, has defended several years ago the dissertation on lasers and became a Cand.Tech.Sci. And after even couple of years, not leaving former work, again has gone to study – this time to study business psychology and management of the personnel. And Gleb Yakushkin now works over scientific work on macroeconomic:

– My firm brings to me enough money to support a family, business is adjusted and demands my minimum participation. Therefore I with the great pleasure can work almost whole working day on the book of the house behind the computer. It very much is pleasant to me.

Step aside

In spite of the fact that the term «a combustion syndrome» has appeared to steam tens years ago, businessmen and two hundred, and left hundred years ago the adjusted business in the new projects allowing again to test passion and an elation. We will tell, known Russian confectioner Alexey Abrikosov in the end of XIX century has transferred конфетное manufacture to sons, and itself has bought almost ruined firm on sale of tea and coffee. Trade in the colonial goods has gone successfully and subsequently became a part of the general family business.

And here an example from our days: co-owners of the Moscow consulting firm have decided to let out profile magazine. And though the project has appeared unprofitable, absolutely new efforts – with authors and printing house – have forced businessmen as before, to gush forth ideas, to arrange brain storms.

Sometimes, especially after 40 years, businessmen change the adjusted, highly remunerative business for business, in which basis any hobby lays: landscape design, diving or an exotic cuisine. It is more characteristic for the western businessmen, but also in Russia it is possible to meet the person who in parallel with the basic business opens bookmaker office, creates an exemplary agricultural farm.

Sometimes to inject new life into the business it is possible, having changed its geography. The Muscovite Artem Veselov was the general director of one of the small investment companies. However last years operations with securities did not bring incomes and moral satisfaction. Then Artem has dared at a non-standard step: has left Moscow in other city where has opened precisely same firm. And now Artem very much is proud of that is the unique company in region which renders similar services.
