I am delighted to be part of a panel of experts offering a new training programme for British microbusiness owners, in partnership with GoDaddy
Launched to coincide with the Winter Olympics in Beijing, the content has been devised in partnership with Team GB athletes, Olympic gold medal winners and experts in sport science and business.
The GoDaddy ‘Business Of Performance’ training programme includes input from myself along with Team GB freestyle skier and medal hopeful, James Woods, Olympic skeleton champion, Amy Williams MBE OLY, entrepreneur Simon Squibb, and former Olympian Greg Whyte OBE.
Meditation Rocks founder Lucy Stone said: “Finding time to look after yourself is crucial when you are self employed, although it is often the first thing to get dropped when running a business, especially when you are also juggling other aspects of your life such as raising a family or caring for loved ones. But taking a few minutes each day to “check in” with yourself can really help keep track of your mental and physical health and wellbeing.” The programme includes tips and advice on how to refine your mindset, use meditation to your advantage, adapt your diet and learn from other people’s success and failures.
Recent GoDaddy research revealed many GB small business owners are struggling with the three ‘Peak Performance Principles’ of sleep, nutrition and stress. Identified by renowned sport scientist, physiologist and former Olympian Greg Whyte OBE, the ‘Peak Performance Principles’ are indicators of a person’s health, wellbeing and productivity.
GoDaddy’s study suggests that many small business owners are battling with poor sleep, an unhealthy diet and high levels of stress. In fact, according to the research, microbusiness owners surveyed in the UK reported that they get an average of just 6.3 hours sleep a night, 1.3 hours less than the average person. More than half (53 per cent) said they got six or fewer hours of sleep, meaning the majority fall under the recommended seven hours a night. A third (32 per cent) described their diet as ‘poor’ and complained of low energy levels (31 per cent), nearly three in five (58 per cent) say they can’t concentrate for long periods at a time. A further quarter (25 per cent) say they have poor mental health and wellbeing.
