Inner Mentor (10): How I Escaped a Business That Was Killing Me #193

In this episode of the Inner Mentor Series, Paul chats about a moment that changed everything—a cold January morning when he believed he was having a heart attack. Sitting at his desk, overwhelmed, exhausted, and on the edge, he was forced to confront a hard truth: the business he had worked so hard to build was now running him. What started as ambition and success had quietly turned into pressure, stress, and a life completely out of alignment. From that wake-up call came a shift—not just in how Paul ran his business, but in how he approached his life. In this episode, he shares the deeper lesson behind the experience and the seven steps that ultimately gave him his time, freedom, and clarity back. This is not about systems or quick fixes, but about taking ownership, building the right team, and designing a business—and a life—that actually works for you.   About the Host Paul Ryan is a CEO, 8-figure business owner, mentor, and host of The Inner Entrepreneur Podcast. 👉 https://pauljryan.net/ Work With Paul You can book a discovery call with Paul here: https://www.pauljryan.net/
