Self-Help for Entrepreneurs & People Working from Home: How to Improve Mindset so You can Live Your Best Life - Paperback

by Firdous Bibi (Author), Kokab Rahman (Author)

Entrepreneurs are twice as likely to suffer from mental health issues compared to the general population. The struggles entrepreneurs face and their lifestyles can put a strain on mental health. In addition, recent changes to lifestyle such as social distancing and less socialization make people more susceptible to mental health problems. The entrepreneurial journey is no ride in the park. The job comes with many struggles and challenges, including financial challenges, relationship challenges, stress from success, failure, and more. The situation is made worse by the incorrect expectations placed around entrepreneurship. You are made to feel that success is easy and it is normal to achieve overnight success, though that is farthest from the truth. You are also expected to know how to run a business without any previous knowledge or experience. While all other professions and trades require years of learning, running a business isn't one of them. You are expected to run a business successfully, on limited funding without any prior knowledge. Overnight success stories don't help the entrepreneur's mindset. Highly successful entrepreneurs are glorified in magazines and the media while those lacking phenomenal success are unheard of. All of these things cause self-doubt and anxiety in many entrepreneurs. Combined with the loneliness that arises from the entrepreneurial life, a lack of understanding from friends and family, and the various challenges an entrepreneur faces on their journey to business success, the result is major stress for the entrepreneur. Self-Help for Entrepreneurs & People Working from Home book intends to shine some truth on important matters and incorrect beliefs so that your entrepreneurial journey can be more wholesome, you can be aware of the challenges normal on this journey, and you can avoid the various mental health and physical health issues that can result from solitude, long hours of work and wrong expectations from one-self and others, so that you can be in the position to better take care of your mental health.
