In this week's edition of the AmiSights Podcast, we talk to Dr. Sherry Walling, founder and clinical psychologist at ZenFounder, which helps entrepreneurs thrive in business and in life by avoiding burnout and isolation. Dr. Sherry Walling discusses the mental health challenges of entrepreneurs, focusing on the importance of self-awareness, building a supportive team, and maintaining friendships outside of work.
“I think it's really important for entrepreneurs to recognize their spouse as their first investor, the first person who said yes to their harebrained idea… The presence of a business is a little bit like the presence of a mistress, right? It's this ever present other thing that is absorbing the attention.”
The main topics of today's episode will be:
How building a healthy company should not be around a person but systematized and able to grow and thrive and exist without the founder.
Why entrepreneurs need to be well-rounded and have activities and friends outside of their business.
Why entrepreneurs need full buy-in from their significant others before starting a business.
