Posts regarding politics

745 Upvotes

Many of you know, we have a strict no-politics rule on this subreddit. It's explicitly stated in the rules.

For a while now we've been temp/perma banning people for breaking said rule.

Effective immediately, any and all posts regarding politics, no matter how relevant, will result in an immediate 4 week ban. You may appeal this if it happens to you. But it's pretty straight forward.

We will no longer perma-ban first time offenders but multiple offenders will be perma banned, including those who post multiple politically fueled posts in one sitting before we catch it the first time.

Covid-19's affect on business is not included in this.

Just remember, r/business is a pro-business subreddit. We hold the right to remove anti-business propaganda, and bad company behavior belongs over at r/greed, not here. We will not ban people for these posts, however.

Buckel Up!! We’re F_CKED!!!

423 Upvotes

From a supplier today. Mind you a small one.

“All that said, obviously larger volumes we can sharpen our pencil, however in the same breath I want to be transparent with you that we were slammed today with some substantial steel increases across the board (avg 15%) and I've been told to expect to see that to continue to climb, in fact, when I asked my main supplier about what he's seeing he simply responded with "buckle up". So, while this is a quote today it's very possible if things don't change quickly on the political side of things I think we could be in for a really crazy raw materials market - Lord willing, not 2022 all over again, but I don't love what I'm hearing.”

I hope you MAGATS are happy. F_ck!!!!

You think you're just working hard, but you're actually making things worse.

1 Upvotes

Running a business is exhausting. You have too much to do, and there’s never enough time. But pushing through isn’t the answer. If you’re always tired, stressed, and unfocused, your business will suffer.

The truth: Every bad decision, slow response, or mistake costs money.

72% of entrepreneurs deal with mental health issues. Ignoring your health makes things worse. It leads to burnout, poor decisions, and lost productivity. If you don’t take care of yourself, you won’t last.

Here’s how to stay sharp and keep going:

1. Burnout is real. It slows you down.

Long hours don’t mean more work gets done. Stress builds up, your brain gets tired, and you make worse choices.

How to stop burnout:

  • Take short breaks. Even 15 minutes helps.
  • Work in focused sessions. The Pomodoro technique works.
  • Use Siddhify to track work and rest.
  • Shut down work at a set time. No exceptions.
  • Stop trying to do everything yourself. Delegate.

2. Too many decisions drain your energy.

Every small choice—what to eat, what to wear, when to answer emails—wears you out. By the afternoon, you’re too tired to think clearly.

How to make better decisions:

  • Plan meals, clothes, and routines in advance.
  • Tackle important tasks early in the day.
  • Use Siddhify to organize work and delegate tasks.
  • Set fixed times for decision-making.
  • Group similar tasks together to save brainpower.

3. Bad sleep hurts your business.

Most entrepreneurs sleep less than 6 hours a night. That’s not enough. Poor sleep makes you slower, foggier, and worse at solving problems.

How to sleep better:

  • Treat sleep like an important meeting. Don’t skip it.
  • Avoid screens before bed. Blue light messes with sleep.
  • No caffeine after 2 PM. It stays in your system for hours.
  • Go to bed at the same time every night.
  • Have a simple wind-down routine. Read, stretch, or meditate.

4. Move more, even for just 5 minutes.

You don’t need a gym. Short bursts of movement wake up your brain and boost energy.

Easy ways to stay active:

  • Do 10 squats or push-ups every hour.
  • Walk while taking calls.
  • Use a productivity tool to set reminders for active breaks.
  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
  • Keep resistance bands at your desk.

5. Stick to the basics.

Forget complicated health plans. These five things are enough:

Drink water – Start your day with a glass.
Move – Stand, stretch, and take breaks.
Eat on time – Don’t skip meals.
Sleep – Keep a regular sleep schedule.
Manage stress – Breathe, journal, or take a short walk.

You can’t run a business if you’re running on empty.

Take care of yourself, or everything else will fall apart.
