So it’s really important to talk about how entrepreneurs can manage the stress caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The key piece to this is to understand that it’s not just the stress entrepreneurs and business owners feel during the pandemic it’s the stress and anxiety that will be felt long after it as well.
So if you’re reading this know that this episode will not just be applicable for any entrepreneur during the “rona” pandemic but it’ll be useful for years after things clear up.
What’s shared in this episode are not just the usual tools that people talk about to manage stress and anxiety.
There’s one extra piece to be applied that will not only help manage with stress in the moment but make things easier for the rest of your life.
Let’s face it…
The stress entrepreneurs are facing right now because of the coronavirus pandemic is massive. And it’s taking place on a global scale. Businesses are closing up shop, lives are being destroyed, so it’s a massive shit show.
Stress and anxiety levels are through the roof and even as things open back up a lot of that stress will persist. That’s because no one has any answers and there is so much uncertainty.
And the uncertainty and fear that exists is causing a lot of “strangeness” and acting out among business owners and entrepreneurs.
In this episode, you’ll hear where the “acting out” is coming from, why it’s normal, but also how it can create more stress. As mentioned above you’ll hear about the tools and strategies that will help to manage all of this.
So if things are a little crazy right now with business and life it’s my hope that this episode will show how entrepreneurs can manage stress caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
And you’ll see how to manage the chronic stress and anxiety that may come because of the “rona.”
