• It is important to have a mental health awareness. It takes courage and responsibility to look after your mental and emotional health as an entrepreneur and a leader in your business.
• Part of the super power of an entrepreneur is to be able to live in to the future and bring it in the present but when you live in the future all the time and you become dissatisfied in the present moment. If combined with all the different stress, the nervous system deals with it and if you don’t have the skills on how to release those stress into the enjoyment of the present system , you will experience burn out and at some point your body will say no and give up in your business.
• He thinks of it as a self protection and not self sabotage when the body can no longer step up and begin to see the larger picture and learn the inner skills.
