Okay, so how do you handle your breakup or divorce if you're the boss at work, if you are the boss of the manager and you're going through a divorce or breakup, the key thing is to appoint someone you trust to delegate responsibilities to explain to this person that you're dealing with some personal issues at home, do not get into the specific and that you will require some extra support in the coming weeks. And I would literally go into no more detail than that no matter how well you know this person, just stick with a very, very surface level excuse. When you delegate be very specific about what outcomes need to be achieved. Have a discussion with this person or the people that you have envisaged, taking over from you exactly what the endgame is, and ask them to both plans for how those outcomes are going to be achieved.

Ask them to break the task down as much as possible so that you can project manage them all the tasks that you've delegated. Once everything is handled and you have a structure in place to achieve those outcomes that you've laid out, take some time off to handle your personal situation. If you have a very close knit team, share with them what's going on, but again, keep it very brief. This is not the time to get the sympathy, vote or try to get everyone to feel sorry for you. It's important to remain powerful and remain the boss and the leader in that situation. They also need to see you handling this very emotional situation and powerful way they will win more respect for you in the long run.

Even if you have close relationship with those clients, I wouldn't recommend telling them about your divorce either. Simply mentioned you're taking some time off and who their contact person is while you're away. If necessary, check in with your team while you're away to ensure the delegation has worked successfully and this will give you some peace of mind. delegating to your during your divorce or breakup is not only a stress reliever for you, it's a great opportunity for others to shine and take leadership in your team and to empower them with new responsibilities. Now if you're not just the boss But you actually have your own business. This is a pretty tough one.

And I can tell you from personal experience, the driving ways to earn money while feeling raw emotions is not an easy thing to do. So I recommend for those of you that run your own business, to get the healing with the healing part of getting over your breakup divorce over with as soon as possible, so that you can get back to focusing on your business. If you delay your healing, spend lots of time suffering, you may start attracting all kinds of negativity into your business. So in a nutshell, prioritize getting over this divorce as soon as possible so you can get back to work. If you don't have a team and are self employed. What I recommend is to find a way to take some time out and ensure that your living arrangements and personal situation are stabilized.

Again, communicate with your clients that you have this personal emergency to deal with, and then any tell them exactly when you will be back at work. Let them know how the accountabilities that you produce for them will be handled in your absence. If you cannot take timeout. Get clear on all your revenue and expenses and work out exactly what your financial requirements are. And by way, if you don't think you can keep to arrangements they get into immediate communication with your creditors and with people around you to work out a plan, ensure you lower your expenses and your outgoings as much as possible to ride the storm. Follow all the general tips that we've covered earlier and definitely ensure you sleep more, eat healthily and take care of yourself.
