10 ways to stay sane in your first y


Have you recently launched your own busi- ness? Are you feeling daunted? Question- ing whether it was the best idea? Lost in the massive amount of work that it takes to run your own business?


You need to stay sane and be as proactive as possible in order to push your business forward, particularly in the current econom- ic climate. Here are 10 tips for staying sane:


1.

they’re not going to know how great you are. Without customers you haven’t got a business.
