Burnout can happen to anyone, but for entrepreneurs dealing with the stresses of starting a business<\/a>, it\u2019s even more common. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symptoms such as depression, fatigue and listlessness are associated with burnout, and the longer it goes on without treatment, the more detached we feel from our work and our relationships.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 72% of entrepreneurs<\/a> are impacted by mental health issues, compared to only 48% of non-entrepreneurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it is unsurprising, given that startup founders are dealing with a vast array of stressors, from finances and building client\/employee relationships to marketing and overscheduling commitments in order to maximize growth opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But without taking care of your mental health, burnout is guaranteed to be on the horizon which brings with it a range of other concerns, impacting not only your health but also the state of your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
