Staying up all night, working nonstop, eating on the run and skipping meals are often telltale signs of starting a new business. But research shows this constant hustle \u2013 which is often glorified as the key to success \u2013 can have a negative impact not only on an entrepreneur\u2019s health and well-being but also his or her business.<\/p>\n

New research led by UCF assistant professor of management Jeff Gish<\/a> suggests that engaging in recovery may help entrepreneurs reduce the negative impact of stress.<\/p>\n

\u201cEntrepreneurs who work really hard and grind on their business and who most need to recover, don\u2019t take a break,\u201d says Gish, who also has studied how lack of sleep impacted entrepreneurs\u2019 decision-making ability. \u201cThat incessant grind, fueled by the autonomy that accompanies self-employment, hinders or hampers them from taking time to recover. This creates a tension between the good and bad associated with entrepreneurial careers, which leads to strange well-being outcomes. We\u2019re trying to fix that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gish builds on his previous research that documented the link between entrepreneurial well-being and the stressors that affect it. In this study, which was recently published in the scholarly journal Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice<\/em>, Gish proposes recovery interventions to enhance entrepreneurial well-being.<\/p>\n

To help entrepreneurs recover, Gish and his co-authors recommend three recovery-intervention categories they\u2019ve dubbed the 3 Rs: Respite, Reappraisal and Regimen.<\/p>\n

\u201cRespite is just taking a break or pushing \u2018pause\u2019 on work. Reappraisal is changing how you think about stress,\u201d says Gish, noting that writing in a journal can help someone understand how they look at stress or failure and then reframe it. \u201cAnd the last one is regimen, just adding structure to respite and reappraisal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gish recommends setting work aside, even for just a few minutes, to take a walk, listen to music or engage in other non-work-related activities. The study notes that even micro-breaks, which may span just 5-10 minutes, can provide physical and mental relief from stress, aid in recovery and boost productivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re always working and always on, that can impair recovery and eventually harm a host of well-being outcomes,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

The study, a comprehensive review of the literature around entrepreneur well-being, stressors and their effects, also offers guidance on how entrepreneurs can reframe how they look at self-care and recovery, and then how to build it into their routines.<\/p>\n

Gish joined UCF\u2019s College of Business <\/a>\u00a0in 2019. Co-authors for the research are Amanda Jasmine Williamson, lecturer in Innovation and Strategy at 海角直播 of Waikato in New Zealand; and Ute Stephan, professor of entrepreneurship, King\u2019s College London, and Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
