Episode 22- The Toxicity of the Self-Employed Workplace

Did you know your entrepreneurial workplace could be more toxic than the workplace you left due to toxicity? The reality is that everyone has mental health needs just like everyone has physical health needs and the reality is that regardless if a person believes that they won’t experience issues, it doesn’t make it so. As a result, that entrepreneurial workplace has the opportunity to do more damage to a person's well being than they realize. So, how does an entrepreneur hold themselves accountable to the fact that they will experience challenges that will affect their mental health, because through the design of being an entrepreneur, in the first place, they aren’t actually accountable to anyone else but themselves. In this episode, we discuss how one entrepreneur's plans to mitigate gradually onset challenges with mental health will differ from another, but the process to start is the exactly the same to create that plan.
