Lacing
up the running shoes is a powerful asset for small business owners,
says a new study from Ball State University. A survey of 336
entrepreneurs found those who regularly run reported better personal satisfaction, independence and autonomy than their non-running or weight-training counterparts.

The study also found that companies managed by runners report better sales resultsthan firms directed by non-runners."Attaining excellent physical
condition requires developing a mindset that accepts and embraces hard
work," said Mike Goldsby, a Ball State entrepreneurship professor who
regularly competes in marathons and triathlons. "If small business
owners were willing and able to grant their physical health the same
respect as they do their financial and professional well-being, most
would be in incredible physical condition."



Great now that I started to run a bit more seriously the last two years I have an additional motivation :-)
