Your Business Is Only as Healthy as You Are

Your business is only as healthy as you are. As an entrepreneur you pour your heart into your business, you work long hours, you make countless sacrifices. It’s tough to step away. As a founder’s the business feels like a part of you. But ignoring your health is a risk. Unfortunately at this stage the business depends on you, this must be addressed. You are your most important asset.

When Fatigue Hits

Our physical and mental health is connected. When you’re tired, your mind gets foggy. Stress impacts your judgment. It shows up in your decision-making. You might miss opportunities. Or you might make poor choices. You can’t lead well if you’re burned out. Energy and focus are limited resources. We bleed at our margins, make space for life.

Overwork is not a badge of honour. It is a warning sign. Your business needs a healthy leader. How can you be a life-giving leader if you have no life to give. It needs a clear-thinking owner. The body and mind need rest. They need good fuel and exercise.

A Strategy for Health

Taking care of yourself is not selfish. It is a key business strategy helping you stay sharp. This keeps your vision clear and builds your resilience. Resilience helps you face challenges.
