5 Steps to building your resilience and wellbeing as an entrepreneur

Mental health issues for entrepreneurs can often go unnoticed. Recent studies have indicated that the majority of people in business are sleep-deprived and overworked, and this has led to widespread concerns around the wellbeing of entrepreneurs. While it is important to work hard, it's also important to remember that your state of mental wellbeing contributes to how effective we feel in your work. In the face of challenges, maintaining a sense of calm, remembering why you started and how far you’ve come will all help you to keep moving forward and strengthen your resilience.

Whether you’re just starting out as a new business owner, or have a well-established business already, poor mental health can be a hurdle to accomplishing your dreams. Needless to say, when you prioritise your mental health, not only are you able to improve peace of mind, but your efficiency also increases multifold.

In this special guest blog, Jessica Fender shares five of the many ways you can build resilience and nurture your mental health as an entrepreneur.
