Entrepreneurs who excercise do better at business

A survey of 336 entrepreneurs by Ball State University found those who regularly run reported better personal satisfaction, independence and autonomy than their non-excercising counterparts. The study also found that companies managed by runners report better sales results than firms directed by non-runners.

Entrepreneurs who only weight train should add running to their workouts to increase their effectiveness, Goldsby adds.
