Ep. 91 WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY

I will repeat this message until I’m blue in the face. The stress, responsibility, financial risk, and sense of isolation common among business owners are not to be taken lightly. If you struggle with isolation, if you struggle with finances if you struggle with the burden of responsibility if you struggle with the isolation if you struggle with ANY of it. Please know you are not alone. I have struggled in the past, and no doubt will again. What has helped me get through the roughest patches is support from others who get it. And here’s where I’m going to go all broken record on you. You Do Not Have To Struggle Alone. Find peers. Find a mentor. Find a colleague. Find a support network. Find professional help if you really can’t pick yourself back up. Please believe you are not alone. Please believe the struggle is not a statement on your competence. Please believe there are many others like you. Please believe in tomorrow. Please. Believe. The roller coaster of business ownership is unrelenting, but we persist because we believe in what we are doing. And I believe in you. Much love, Tess x p.s.
