As a student returning to school next week, beginning to juggle classes, homework and work, I know that there may be stressful times on the horizon.  In the August edition of Entrepreneur Magazine, there is a great article that gives insight into good stress versus bad stress.  Most people only understand stress as an inhibitor that causes insomnia, depression and increases blood pressure; the results in business are ineffective management and lower productivity.

An entrepreneur can turn this stress into an asset that fuels creativity and spurs ideas.  Focus on the cause, not the outcome, to establish a simple system to address the issue and move on.  Let the initial rush of adrenaline that often marks a situation as stressful be the cue to respond quickly and think clearly.
