For entrepreneurs, a long list of to-do stuff comes with the holidays. Entrepreneurs would have to make sure to jot down all family gatherings, friendly get-togethers and neighborhood parties in their calendars. Shopping for gifts and organizing an event for clients would also be on top of the list. Juggling all the extra holiday task is not an easy thing to do, so here are some tips for entrepreneurs on how to enjoy a stress-free holiday.

CEO and startup founder Chris Myers wrote in a Forbes article that entrepreneurs should know what to improve on. Re-evaluating your plans for the year should be part of the list. Looking back and reviewing what went wrong and what went right would help entrepreneur create a better plan for the future.
2. Appreciate people.
Giving thanks to people that made the year a better one should be a priority for entrepreneurs. Taking team members for granted should be a no-no. The holiday season is a perfect time to reward people for their effort and contribution to the company.
