Whether in business, our personal lives or in our marriages, we don’t want to hear these words, I can’t do this anymore.

All of us have a breaking point, no matter how tough minded we believe we are.

There can come a time when we are just overwhelmed and need to get out and get clear headspace before we go crazy.

Management Rights owners are no different, and sometimes the efforts they put in dealing with owners, tenants, guests and bodies corporate just becomes too much to handle.

What are your choices then?

You can take off on a holiday.

Holidays are great anytime. Find a relief manager and book a flight or cruise somewhere to escape the day to day grind. Chill out on a beach or just hide yourself away in a hotel with a good book doing nothing. Rest and Recover.

You could just take off and not tell anyone.

Probably not the best plan, to take off without telling staff and the body corporate what you are up to. Family and friends won’t appreciate finding you curled up in the foetal position under the stairs. If the stress gets this bad, then perhaps it’s time to sell up, seek help and get out of the place altogether.

You could employ someone and pass on some of the load to them.

Depending on the size of your complex, it may be possible to employ someone to assist you with the more mundane side of your day to day duties. Even a part time assistant will free you up to engage with the body corporate and owners on more important issues.

You could sell your business and bail out altogether.

Selling up is an easy option for most people experiencing stress and overload in their business. The last thing anyone wants is to burn out and have the business crash around them because they aren’t coping with it. Don’t leave it too late to sell, when the writing is on the wall and things are getting out of control, phone your broker and get the place on the market. Your sanity is far more important than profit.

You could bring in an expert to help find a solution to your stress and issues.

There are some terrific ex-managers out there who run consultancy and help services for managers who either have hit a brick wall with their body corporate or are experiencing business issues that they can’t solve. If this is you then give us a call at RCA and we can put you in touch with someone who will help.

Stress is a killer and medical experts agree that constant stress can result in heart attacks, cancer and mental breakdowns.

No business is worth that kind of result on you or your family.

Don’t leave it too late to do something. Seek help or seek change.

Have a great Month

RCA Team
