Every entrepreneur dreams of success. But what if the silent partner holding you back isn’t a competitor, a lack of funding, or even time—but your own mental health?
The Wake-Up Call
It was 2 a.m., and Alex, a small business owner, was staring at his computer screen. The spreadsheets were blurring. The tasks were piling up. He couldn’t remember the last time he had taken a full day off. Despite working harder than ever, Alex felt like he was running on empty.
That night, Alex found himself asking a question he’d been avoiding:
“Is it supposed to feel like this?”
The Entrepreneur’s Dilemma
Running a business often comes with a heavy dose of stress, long hours, and sleepless nights. It’s easy to put your mental health on the back burner when there are deadlines to meet, invoices to send out, and payrolls to make. But ignoring it doesn’t make the toll any less real.
What Alex didn’t realize is how common that experience is among business owners. Many don’t recognize the signs of burnout, anxiety, or depressionuntil it starts to affect their work, relationships, and health.
The Turning Point
After another sleepless night, Alex stumbled across a resource that shifted his perspective. It wasn’t a business podcast or a productivity hack—it was a simple question: “How are YOU doing?”
For the first time, Alex took stock of his mental health. And the results were surprising.
