So I know I haven’t updated in a couple of weeks. Life got crazy and I had to reassess some things. My business is my passion but due to multiple life events converging at the same time, I had to rethink some of the pots I had my hand in to try and make my business profitable. I was doing so much for something that is so precious to me that I was starting to not enjoy it anymore. There were so many things that I “had” to do, that what I wanted was starting to make me feel overworked and resentful. I felt like I was dragging myself along rather than pushing. I was stressed out to the point that I called up my therapist to try and declutter my mind. That was when I knew I had taken on too much. Sometimes in the pursuit of our dreams we bite off more than we can chew. Entrepreneurship can be a lonely road so it’s important that we are able to take inventory of ourselves and make decisions that benefit our whole selves. I am no good to my audience and clients if I’m burnt out. When I was at my day job today, I left halfway through the day because I knew that I needed rest. Yes I need the money, yes the work needs to be done but my health and well being are not acceptable costs for those goals. I say all this to say, be kind to yourself on the road to full time entrepreneurship. You will have to sacrifice your time, your money, and maybe some creature comforts, but your health and well-being should never be expendable.
