Summary

Is it possible to run a successful business without sacrificing your mental and physical health?

Most business owners and leaders have a habit of overcoming their company’s challenges at the expense of their own wellbeing. They work long hours, try to do too many things, and struggle to reconcile the excitement of the early days with the stress and exhaustion they feel now. Their businesses may be profitable, but those profits have come at a high personal cost. In other words, they’ve run up an emotional overdraft.

If this is you, you can be sure that not only is this damaging for your health, it’s also masking some of the issues that need to be resolved in your business. Because reducing your emotional overdraft is as much of a lifesaver for your company as it is for you.

While it’s common to feel this way, it’s not inevitable. This book explains why you’ve run up an emotional overdraft and how you can reduce it, so that you can create a healthier relationship with your business, your loved ones, and yourself. In the process, you’ll be helping your company to thrive in ways you could never imagine—and without having to try so hard.

A fantastic support for business leaders

If you're a business owner, I can guarantee there's a lot in this book that you'll resonate with. Whilst there are times we all subsidise our businesses using our own emotional and physical well-being, it's easy to give too much.

I really like the balance the author is encouraging. He's completely realistic about what it takes to grow a business whilst shunning the fallacy that over-working should be celebrated. It's nice to believe that it is possible to run a successful business without sacrificing too much of yourself in the process! This book has helped me to better understand my own resilliance, and has some great tips and real-life examples to help manage it.

You should note that to get the most out of this audiobook, you will need to pause and do a self-assessment during it. I was listening in the car and tried to keep going without doing it straightaway but, actually, you need the context to be able to apply a lot of what he's talking about to yourself.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
