Entrepreneurship has a dark side.
The fire that is required to blaze your own trail will leave your mental health running on fumes.

Be sure you maintain an outlet.
Don& #39;t suffer in silence.
Put a high priority on your mental health.
I& #39;m blessed to be well connected & respected but it came w/ the strange downside of people assuming that I had life"all figured out".

For years I struggled with crippling anxiety, especially in the mornings. Every morning it felt like a refrigerator was on my chest.
Another darkside that they don& #39;t mention in Entrepreneur Orientation: Your favorite guru/speaker/expert may be a highly functional addict.
"Networking" at the elite levels of your industry is a binge drinking, hard drug affair.
Do you want to "fit in" or will you say no?
Current and aspiring Entrepreneurs: I recommend therapy as a wise investment.
Your friends are at work all day and don& #39;t understand what you do anyways.
Your family wants you to be safe so they don& #39;t understand the risks you must take.
Get a therapist.

These are great distractions that take you away from solving the root causes. Do the inner work.
