Is Depression Crippling Your Business?

Liza and her husband, James (not their real names), own a successful small business. A few years ago they got hit with the perfect storm–a personal crisis, the recession, Liza’s undiagnosed thyroid problem and depression.

That meant more money out the door. The bookkeeping suffered tremendously as well. I got more and more behind because I could only do the bare minimum. Sales taxes got filed late, statements didn’t get reconciled for months, receipts and expenses stacked up and didn’t get entered into the accounting program.

  1. In order not to let depression conquer your business it’s important to learn how to deal with workplace negativity. This is really vital as it influences not only productivity, but also retention level. But first of all you have to find out what or even who the cause of negativity is, and it’s better to be done ASAP, so that you could eradicate it as it’s still raw.

  2. I lost a job because of depression once. Now I’m in the same place, but it’s different. I have a much better job than the one I lost, and I think (although I’m not sure yet) that the situation won’t turn out the way it did last time–for me, at least.
