Updated: May 22, 2023


As entrepreneurs, it is important to take care of our mental health as it affects how we work, how we think, and how we feel. Furthermore, research shows the importance of managing stress and maintaining positive mental health for successful business outcomes.


Given the importance of mental health, it is essential that individuals prioritize their mental well-being and seek help when necessary. This may include seeking professional treatment, engaging in self-care practices, and building a support network of friends and family. At the societal level, it is crucial to promote mental health awareness and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues, so that individuals feel comfortable seeking the help they need.

With a demanding new position with longer hours and a thriving new business, little time was left for family or selfcare. Although things were going quite well in my new business, the dynamics of my life were changing quite quickly. Time was not on my side. I struggled daily just to make it from one to the next. Missing important moments in my children’s lives, not enough quality time with my spouse, limited social activities and more. A few years would come to pass, and another opportunity would present itself to me. This NEW opportunity set off a fire inside of me and I knew this was it! After only two years of building this business, I was able to walk away from my career in education of 15 years and become a full-time entrepreneur. TIME FREEDOM was my motivation. But there’s a cost… Although entrepreneurship is beautiful, it is not for the faint of heart! What they did not tell you ….


“Being Your Own Boss“ is NOT all glamour!
