I got up at an unusual time this Monday morning. 

3.36 am 

I normally wake up by 5.45 am and was not poised to take an early morning train/ flight.

I had a bad dream – went through the pain of missing the current financial year numbers for my second venture (based out of Mohali).

I felt stressed.

I went back to sleep again and got up fresh a few hours later.

I spent some time during the day analysing the business because I didn’t want this dream to come true 🙂

With two weeks to go, what could be done to ensure that the business achieved its numbers? 

I went about fine tuning a few aspects and decided to track the input variables twice during the day (I had done this as an employee when I worked in sales for a telecom company long back).

I still don’t know how the final numbers will shape up but the stress on Monday morning ensured that I put on my thinking cap.

It helps!

A mild form of stress is good – both for the mind and the body.

What’s your take?
