The coronavirus pandemic is impacting entrepreneurs pretty hard and we’re all hearing that a lot of businesses are struggling.

But what we’re not hearing enough of “yet” is how this is taking a toll on the emotional side of entrepreneurs.

Of course, it’s hard but most entrepreneurs don’t talk about the emotional side of things and how they’ve been feeling.

But every single entrepreneur rides the rollercoaster of emotions during “normal times.” And now that rollercoaster is even crazier and harder to manage.

So it’s taking the mental, physical, and emotional side of things of entrepreneurs to a different level.

Because of this…

I brought in Dustin Maher who runs a successful fitness business to talk about what he’s been going through.

And in this episode, Dustin opens up about how he’s feeling, what happened to the business, and how he’s been managing it all.

On top of that, there’s quite a bit about what he’s done to keep the business going and to move forward during the pandemic.

Right now as much as it seems like X’s and O’s are most important when it comes to strategies to keep businesses going…

It’s just as important to pay attention to the mental and emotional toll that is weighing on business owners.

Usually, that’s where we drop the ball a lot of times.

So I figured it would be good to speak with someone who has been doing some great things during this time but also working through the emotional side of it as well.

Because just like Dustin says in this podcast, there’s comfort in knowing that entrepreneurs are all going through this together.

And so it is important to share this with the hope that this will be helpful.

Because this whole coronavirus pandemic impacting entrepreneurs thing is really putting the hurt on a lot of them.

So if you’d like to hear what Dustin has been doing with his business, and how he’s managing the emotional side of it definitely take a listen.
