Internet Business Opportunities | The Secret To Getting A Competitive Edge In Your Business

The Secret To Getting A Competitive Edge In Your Business

One of the best kep secrets to being a successful entrepreneur is to lead a healthy lifestyle. There are so many positive aspects to being healthy:

  • Longer edurance: Eating healthy, avoiding sugar, and exercising helps to prevent your blood sugar levels from spiking, which causes that mid-day crash we are all too familiar with.  More energy means a better ability to work.
  • Focus: Your mind and body are very much intertwined.  Proper eating and fitness can help in two ways.  It prevents a lot of health problems that can distract from work and second, it can help your attention span, chemical balance, and numerous other physiological aspects.
  • Confidence: It is obvious that looking good impacts not only your confidence, but other people’s confidence in you.  We look to celebrities, athletes, models, and other that exemplify beatuy which also connects to success.  No matter how vain that can be, it is true.  It impacts getting a job, hiring successful people, getting raises and promotions in the start-up/corporate world.
  • Long-term health:  So many people work hard on their business only to end up finding success in their 50’s or 60’s, but are a step away from a heart attack, cancer, diabetes, or other diseases.  There is no point to gain financial success only to not have a body to celebrate your success with.

Your life has to be a fine balance.  Of course you can be a 250-300 pound millionaire and pay for lipo, but it doesn’t change the bad habits that exist and will come back after any surgery.  You have to take care of the root of the problem.  If you can take care of your health on to your journey to financial success, then I promise you it will mean that much more.

This is why companies spend millions and billions of dollars on the health of their employees to stop health insurance costs, lack of performance, and overall employee satisfaction. 

  • Health programs dropped absenteeism by 15% at Johnson & Johnson. 
  • The annual turnover rate for wellness program participants of the Canada Life Assurance company of Toronto was 1.8 % , compared to the company wide average of 18 % according to the American Journal of Health Promotion.
  • A NASA study reported a 12.5 % increase in productivity in their fitness program participants versus non participants along with an increase in morale according to The Association for Fitness in Business.
  • There are over 300 other documented examples in mostly US companies showing these types of positive results with benefits outweighing costs 3-1 in HR Magazine.

That also translates into entrepreneurs starting their own businesses or small start ups. If you are looking to save health insurance costs, then invest in your personal health wisely.

The reason one decides to become wealthy is so they can enjoy a quality and healthy lifestyle-hope that is one of the reasons otherwise it is worthless to toil for hours

excellent suggestion because almost nobody considers to be well fed healthy and have better ability to think or do business plans, and is that even in schools recommend that children eat a good breakfast for better retention. .

I agree with the points in your article. The first point regarding sugar is the most interesting to me. These isn’t a commercial breakfast cereal that contains less than 12% sugar. I use oatmeal for breakfast. Packaged juices contain huge amounts of sugar, as do biscuits (30% to 60% sugar). The sugar is used as a preservative and as an enticement to buy another one.

I agree with the points in your article also. If you’re healthy, then things are going well and you can earn money. To be healthy, I go to Pilates

Although this article is not health, it is interesting and logical that explained based on real examples, as he had said almost nobody cares about a healthy life without excesses, employers do the opposite if a problem arises within the company , angry, something that should not happen, I hope one day to publish an article about mental health.
Do not you think it would be a good idea?
This article is the best I’ve found.
good day.

It may be fun to count all credits and debts when you are just beginning to develop your business. But any serious business needs some specialists to work with you. And an accountant is the first one who should be taken to your staff. Imagine, one day you will have some employees, and there should be someone who can professionally count the salary to the payroll. I myself use very good payroll accountants, if you need, will give you their contacts.

This is really a great article. Being a web designer that works from home, I find that I am a great deal more productive when I regularly work out, get outside every couple of hours and off the computer, and eat a well-balanced diet.

The most interesting fact about the trend you recall is that people tend to spend fortune and tens of hours on job not devoting 20 minutes to their health. It’s funny as we can’t live for ever which means that it’s better to care about our health in order not to die on a chest with billions of dollars at the age of 40. Once my friend asked me why she had so many problems at work and I answered “because your body is exhausted, you brain needs rest and a pretty balanced schedule to follow”. After a month she got promoted and is very grateful till the recent moment.Well-written!

I constantly take abuse from my girlfriend for putting in too many hours and not taking care of myself properly. I have started to finish work at 5pm and spend a few hours cooking then enjoying a healthy hot meal every night to reenergise myself. It has really improved my concentration and productivity.
Brilliant article that I will be sharing.

Kinda surprising that health is just as important as running a successful business. Caught me as soon as you said that there is no point to success without health.
