The R Factor
for Entrepreneurs
As an entrepreneur, naturally you look for a solid ROI when
making decisions that effect your business. You've probably
spent a lot of money on expensive sales training, marketing
seminars, PR people, business books and the like. If those
folks indeed delivered what they promised, then their programs
were worth every penny.
But what about your PROI?
What's PROI?
I'll get to that in a minute. But first, I'd like to ask
you a question.
If you are like most entrepreneurs, you will do anything
to make your business a success, including working 80 plus
hours a week, forgoing sleep, and eating take out dinners
in little paper cartons every other night.
After all, that's what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur,
right?
Wrong....
dead wrong.
Now don't misunderstand me. I know you want the best for
your business. You want your "baby" to succeed.
You'll sacrifice almost anything to see that happen.
The problem is, what you are sacrificing is yourself.
And without you, your business is dead in the water.
Most entrepreneurs believe that by working themselves
to exhaustion, they are ensuring the success of their business...
while in reality the only things they are ensuring are
- mediocrity
- poor judgement
- and bad business decisions.
They believe that by increasing their working hours they
are increasing their productivity...
while in reality they
are hard at work undermining their own success.
Big Business is not Immune
Even a business as big as NASA isn't immune.
The elite team of scientists and engineers who made the ill
considered decision not to replace the space shuttle Challenger's
O-rings was suffering from sleep deprivation. They were pushing
against a deadline to get that rocket off the ground. And
get it off the ground they did...for 73 unforgettable seconds.
The cost in lost dollars was in the billions and the cost
in lost lives...well, you get the picture.
Senior management at Xerox Corporation estimates
that a single executive lost due to a stress related illness
costs the company a whopping $160,000. A
loss, that if addressed in time, is totally preventable.
The research results are clear. An investment in wellness
pays off...big time. Companies who implement wellness programs
for their employees see, on average, a
300% ROI. That's a
3 dollar return for every dollar spent. Dollars gained in
less sick time taken, in lowered health insurance costs and
in increased productivity. Now that's a sound return on investment.
But what about your PROI?
PROI stands for Personal Return on Investment.
This means the return you will see on an investment in your
personal wellness and resiliency. As an entrepreneur, you ARE your
company. You invest in business seminars, marketing and PR
without so much as blinking. And it follows that an investment
in yourself is simply sound business sense.
So, ok, say you're convinced. How do you go about designing
a wellness and resiliency plan for yourself?
- Exactly how much sleep do you need for maximum effectiveness?
- What's the best exercise and how much and how often?
- What kinds of foods and in what quantities do you need
to maximize your energy?
- What cutting edge stress relieving tools could you be
using today that you don't even know about?
- And perhaps the most important question of all...how
are you going to implement such a plan when you are already
stressed to the max and hardly have a second you can call
your own?
That's where the R Factor:™ Stress Resiliency
for Entrepreneurs comes in.
What 's the R Factor™?
The R in R Factor™ stands
for Resiliency...the ability to bounce back from the harmful,
and sometimes deadly effects of no sleep, lousy food, little
exercise, tight deadlines and all those one hundred and one
things that you, as an entrepreneur, have come to accept
as an inevitable and normal part of your life.

your coach every other week, giving you plenty of time
