Face it, as the founder of a company, you're going to face a lot of emotional struggles that most people won't have to face in their entire lives.
Unfortunately, most entrepreneurs don't even realize the importance of learning how to deal with the emotional struggles of entrepreneurship, and how to maintain that emotional alignment, until it's already too late.
In October of 2015 when my first business lost all it's revenue in an instant, I began feeling "a little bit" stressed. Trying to avoid the pain and emotions, I allowed a lot of stress build up inside me, which ultimately led me to speeding to an emergency room two times.
You might already be making some of the same mistakes I made that led me up to that moment. Because you didn't reach that "already too late" moment, you may have never considered the importance of stress-reduction and emotional alignment as an entrepreneur.
Hopefully you understand this warning, take your emotional health seriously, and are open to making a few changes, so you avoid those experience I experienced from making these mistakes.
Will you reach the point of having to rush to the emergency room from this? Probably not, but it's possible. After this happened to me, I began researching the health struggles CEOs of other companies have faced as well.
More than you can name suffer from a serious and minor heart conditions, and other symptoms of stress.
When I learned this, knowing I would be committed to this career in entrepreneurship, I began to search for a way to deal with the stress, and not let something this devastating happen to me ever again.
It's about a year later, and I've faced a lot of shit over the past year that tops what happened last October. But the most amazing thing I noticed is that after going on this journey to learn how to be stress-free, is that through all these "worse" experience on the outside, I can remain completely stress-free and happy on the inside.
It's like the field goal kicker in the Superbowl who is about to kick that game-winning (or game-losing) kick, with 4 seconds on the clock:
I applied a lot of those techniques, and other principles to my journey, not in sports, but as an entrepreneur, and I got some pretty amazing results.
Not only is my journey happy and stress-free, regardless of what happens on the outside, but like that field goal kicker, I can perform better, more efficiently, and with the clarity, focus, and calmness that allows me to perform better on the outside.

- Once, at 1:30 in the morning in some small town outside of Seattle, WA, only to hear they didn't accept my out-of-state insurance.
- The second time, 94 miles in the middle of a wilderness on a deserted country highway, in northern Montana. Heart palpitations, breathing getting difficult, and speeding 120 miles per hour to the nearest emergency room.
