While the discussion around good financial hygiene is necessary for running your business, there’s a more important topic to address: the practice of good mental wellness.
Leadership can be lonely, especially if you’re a solo-founder or business owner.
Historically, I haven’t had concerns with mental wellness. However, I became acutely aware of my wellbeing while bootstrapping my organic juice company and riding the rollercoaster wave of emotions. While I was very mindful of what I ate during that time, I wasn't in tune with my physical or mental need for exercise, nor did I have a strong sleep regiment. Neglecting important elements of my daily routine eventually caught up with me, forcing me to shut down the company and take care of myself.
