I know I talk about this stuff a lot, but the journey is hard, peeps. Honestly, as much as we collectively talk about the importance of resilience, I also don’t believe that the purpose of life is to struggle forever. (And sometimes I think what I can only dub resilience p**n kind of promotes that concept.) 😞 That’s why it’s so extraordinarily important for entrepreneurs to have things that separate themselves from their work, in order to develop a healthy mindset. 🙏 I spent a ton of years unable to distinguish these things, thinking that my work was me and I was my work. What did this create? An untenable mindset, where every business failure hit way harder than it should have. 🥺 A heathy entrepreneurial mindset isn’t about being able to keep up with constant struggle and carry on. It’s about being able to distinguish the difference between your business and your self, making space to experience and learn from the painful bits but not making those the centre of the day, the week, the month. ✅ Struggle, without question, is part of the entrepreneurial process, and that’s not going to change. But mindset is what will protect you from being trapped by it. 👏
