Episode 95: Survival Mode... Entrepreneurship in Difficult Seasons [featuring Danielle Swimm]
A lot of entrepreneurs tend to post "wins" or this image of living the "high life" online, but the reality of what goes on behind the scenes can be way less glamorous.
Like any other person, there are struggles, dark times, and experiences that force them into survival mode.
However, since many entrepreneurs are the face of their businesses, it can be damn scary to be transparent, slow down, or shift on what they've worked hard to create and put out into the world.
If you are an entrepreneur who's silently struggling with life while trying to manage a business, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk with Danielle Swimm, therapist and owner of The Entrepreneurial Therapist.
Top 3 reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Understand why prioritizing self-care and personal well-being is essential in entrepreneurship and small business ownership, as well as to incorporate it into your life.
- Learn some ways to face the unexpected with contingency plans and having systems in place that can provide peace of mind and better management during challenging times.
- See how embracing struggles and being accountable for them can lead to personal growth and business evolution, ultimately leading to coming out stronger and more resilient.
Being authentic, prioritizing self-care, and having contingency plans in place for unexpected challenges are important parts of long-term success as an entrepreneur. If you are facing some difficult seasons of life, you are not alone, and it's okay to prioritize your well-being.
