How to manage stress when you run a business

Ever found yourself working late into the night, only to wake up feeling more exhausted and less motivated than the day before?

Do you notice that the pressures of running your business, managing cash flow, leading your team and keeping clients happy are starting to take a toll on your health, focus or relationships?
