044 Think Big Radio: 5 Ways to Perk Up a Normal Startup Day

There’s really no such thing as a “normal startup day”, is there?  For most entrepreneurs, no day looks exactly like another.  And sometimes, because of the hectic lives that many entrepreneurs lead, many can get run down...and fast.  It’s tough to stay motivated, rejuvenated and focused throughout the work week, especially during the summer months.  But this episode of Think Big Radio will give you the top 5 ways to perk up any startup day including:

1. Try the 9/80 rule: work 80 hours in 9 days to take every other Friday “off”
2. Get outside: Hold meetings outside or even take your company out for a day at retreat at the lake
3. Walk & meet:  Kill 2 birds with 1 stone by walking to the local coffee shop and meeting along the way
4. Plan a get-together: Happy hours, running groups and company activities are a great way to bond
5. Bring in lunch: Sometimes all the company needs to stay motivated is a little grub
