Entrepreneurs are "mad"
from WANNABE Entrepreneurs Hosted by Wannabe Entrepreneurs
In this episode, Emeka and Uwa discuss some of the health issues that can occur as a result of entrepreneurs pushing their bodies to their limits. There is evidence that suggests almost 50% of entrepreneurs suffer from a mental health issue. Uwa, for one, had a physical issue that his doctor attributed to one of five things - Stress, Age, Lifestyle, Genetics or Change in Workload. So the question for you, dear #entrepreneur, is, are 50% of entrepreneurs mad or are all entrepreneurs mad 50% of the time. Might still work out to be the same thing, all things considered. The stats mentioned in the podcast are all from one of the links below. The common solutions to help with the issues startup founders face are networking, taking regular breaks, more sleep, absence from alcohol, nicotine and caffeine, etc This journey can be lonely at times and demands a lot of resilience. If you start to feel overwhelmed do not suffer in silence. Please, speak to somebody, either a trusted family member, friend and/or professional Let us know if you have any suggestions or ideas.
