Speaking with fellow business owners every day, this is what we hear:

Francis:
I love what I'm doing, but it requires working very long hours, and I feel guilty because I'm eating too much and settling for unhealthy food.

Jennifer: 
I don't have enough time for my loved ones, let alone time for myself.
To be honest, it's taking a toll on my health. I know I should exercise, but because of stress and limited time, I don't work out regularly and sleep just a few hours - probably too few to fully recover.

Richard:

Lately, there's been so much change; supplier networks aren't working, costs have significantly increased, and marketing has become more difficult and expensive.

Thomas:
Everyone is talking about AI and how it will replace almost everything.
I'm afraid I can't keep up with all this change and feel I'm falling further behind. I experience a lot of anxiety and it leads to sleepless nights.
How can I master these multilevel challenges, keep and grow my business, and provide for my loved ones and the families of my employees?

Christopher:

I feel exhausted and overworked. I've gained a lot of weight, my blood pressure is too high, and I have difficulties focusing.
Looking back on my day's work, I'm unhappy with my performance. I wasn't able to focus on business development, just managing fires that popped up everywhere in my business. Especially in the evenings, I'm depressed and full of worries.

Mark:
When I talk with potential new customers, clients, and partners, often times I just can't answer their questions, and in those moments, I feel like a fraud. Someone who was an expert and on top maybe sometimes in his life but now - with all these tech and science advancements - I just can't learn and upskill quick enough to stay relevant.

 

And there are many more distractions like sick family members or children and grand children to care for, aging parents who need help, failing marriages... an endless list of things competing for your attention and available time.
 

All of it - if not skillfully managed - will destroy your health.
 

As a business owner, your health is your business's backbone.
If your health fails, everything you're working for can too. It's like running a car non-stop without ever checking the engine. Eventually, it breaks down. This issue is urgent. Ignoring your health isn't just bad for you; it puts your whole business at risk.

Think of it this way: no health, no business.

It's that simple and that important. And speaking from experience, it happens to the best of us, all the time.
