It’s a fact of life – if you want to succeed, you need to know how to interact and communicate effectively in business – with your employees, business partners, vendors, prospects, and customers.

As a small business owner, this is evident in how you would explain your expectations to your employees versus how you would convey these expectations to your business partner or even to a potential client.  As we all know, sometimes language breaks down, and this can leave the feeling of irritability, anger, and frustration… and most certainly, an undesirable result.

Communication is very important in this instance - there are many times where the wrong type of communcation would result in a significant loss of credibility and respect and possibly, some business.

So, what are some effective and simple ways to manage these emotions?

1. Know the different between anger and frustration and what it feels like. Sometimes, we can get really “cut off” from our feelings and act rashly without knowing why. Spend some time knowing what anger feels like to you.  This simple step is very important. 

2. Take a hike! Yes, walk it off! Before you desire to “vent”, excuse yourself and take a brisk walk around the neighborhood. Movement in the body, will clear your mind and may save you from losing your temper and a potential embarassment.

3. Still need to vent? Complain. Sometimes the simple act of sharing your frustration will calm you down. The right type of support can help you move either move forward or gain some perspective so have a trusted source.

4. Make a list and check it twice. In this list, you write down everything you do NOT want to happen in this type of situation like “to play a fool”, “to be unprepared”, etc. Writing provides that outlet you need to clear your thoughts. Go ahead, clear your mind and  generate productive solutions by writing this list.

5. Distraction helps. Sometimes, a healthy distraction is enough to calm you down. Consider shifting your focus to something menial and it will eventually shift your attitude.

6. Stay positive in this situation. Easiest way to manage stress is by focusing on “what’s working” rather than “what’s wrong”. It’s not an easy task, but well worth the effort – glass is half-full people!

7. Take action now! When something isn’t working, it may mean that another part is ready to be fixed. If you would like something to be different, start the process of making it so. Rather than feeling annoyed and frustrated, transform that energy into positive movement forward and work towards a solution.

8. Shout it out! Always make your needs and those of your business known. Sometimes, just communicating your desires in the form of an appropriate request can move situations along.

Regular use of these tips will help you stay well balanced and happy as your business grows and flourishes. It’s helped me – now it’s time for you to try them and see!
