How Business Owners Can Stay Motivated Every Day
One of the biggest challenge that business owners face is motivation. Yes, they are motivated enough to start their business but there is no one really on top of them telling them what to do, how to do it, why to do it. They need to figure it out on their own. Entrepreneurs need to motivate themselves each day to get out of bed and create the perfect business.
That takes emotional fuel and it sometimes runs out. Wouldn’t it be great to figure out a strategy to load up on the emotional fuel needed to stay motivated?

“Absolutely,” says Andrew Picken, managing partner at Bespoke Wellness in Dubai, which offers corporate wellness programmes throughout the country.

Millennials: The Benefits, the Challenges and Why You Should Hire Them.
America’s population statistics are changing, and so is the workforce. Millennials now officially outnumber Baby Boomers 83.1 million to 75.4 million, according to themost recent US Census.
This means the workplace will soon undergo a transformative change—if it hasn’t already.
As more Baby Boomers reach retirement age, more millennials join the workforce. With this drastic change in maturity comes a dramatic change in style—and we’re not just talking fashion!
Millennials have different takes on life, different motivations and vastly different expectations of the world compared to the generations before them. Businesses that want to remain successful would be wise to keep up with the times and find new ways to appeal to these burgeoning masses.
