It can be a lonely life, being THE founder or co-founder. From the initial buzz of starting your dream project and the excitement of early success, followed by the harsh reality of investor expectations and mounting growth pains.
Your health and wellbeing is inevitably going to be linked to the pressures and performance of your business.
72% of founders report that entrepreneurship has impacted their mental health and 37% suffer from anxiety
But…
Only 23% have sought help or have seen a psychologist to discuss the issues facing them and 81% do not openly share their stress, fears, and challenges.
The mental health of a startup founder doesn’t just affect personal well-being; it can also lead to damaged relationships and poor decision-making, which in turn can jeopardise the success of the startup.
If you feel yourself battling the demons, working too long hours and withdrawing from the fun events in life, it’s time to pay attention.
