As a business owner for over two decades, I can confess firsthand that I spent most of my years as an entrepreneur ignoring my mental and emotional health. And I am willing to bet you can confess the same, no matter how long you’ve been running your own business. 

And it’s not your fault. You’ve been told for so long that in order to be successful you have to surrender all of yourself to get there. All of your time, your sanity, your peace, and your well-being have been placed on the back burner simply because you believe that in order to truly make it as an entrepreneur, you have to work yourself into the ground. And you’ve all done it for far too long. 

To be honest with you, the decline starts at the very beginning and you usually never even see it. You have an idea or a dream and you go all in. Mentally, emotionally, physically, and maybe even financially. Everything you do or think about is centered around this new business because it’s fun and exciting and honestly, it’s your desire to spend all of your energy on this new thing. 

But here is the biggest problem with hustle culture, you don’t even see it happening.

One day you look up from your computer screen and realize that you’ve been convincing yourself that lack of sleep and skipping time with your family and neglecting your health are normal and that it’s simply what you have to do in order to build a successful business. 

In this episode you’ll hear all about: 

• The dangers of letting hustle culture take the place of your mental and emotional health. 
• The importance of making your health a priority as an entrepreneur. 
• Seven tips to ditching hustle culture and living with an abundance mindset.

I say it all the time simply because it’s the truest quote for entrepreneurs to remember in such a fast paced, success driven world: “You can’t pour from any empty cup.”

So I hope you are walking away from today’s episode feeling encouraged and inspired to pour into your own cup for a change and take control of your health, both mentally and emotionally!
