21 Tips to Manage Stress as An Entrepreneur

Break Down Goals And Connect

Many young women entrepreneurs are not only creative and innovative, they’re also ambitious. And with ambition comes the cost of setting unrealistic expectations and putting oneself under immense pressure. The result: frustration, stress and uncertainty.

As a coach who mentors women entrepreneurs under 30 I’d like to share a couple of tips to help you on your journey:

• Have your overarching dream goal in mind, as well your plan, yet remember it’ll keep changing as you change. And that’s ok.
• Break down your business goals into sizeable chunks—3 months, 1 month, even 1 week. That way, it’ll be less overwhelming.
• Reach out to fellow entrepreneurs. The journey of entrepreneurship can be lonely at times, so it’s important to share your struggles and successes with others who understand you.
• Do whatever it takes to remain rested and happy in the process. Hit the “Pause” button often (even if you have to set a timer!) and recharge through walks, music, yoga, meditation, etc.

As an entrepreneur myself I’ve learned to remain connected with my purpose and aligned with my values. And the only way to do that is to take exquisite care of myself.
