I dive into the mental health challenges uniquely faced by entrepreneurs and startup founders, exploring how these issues are more intense compared to the general population. Focusing on anxiety, high stress, financial worries, burnout, and imposter syndrome, I reference a survey from Founder Reports that highlights these problems. I challenge the commonly held beliefs that entrepreneurship and success need to be inherently hard or stressful, proposing instead that deep-seated subconscious beliefs are the primary root causes. I critique the prevalent focus on self-care practices, suggesting that clearing these underlying beliefs will lead to true mental liberation and a new paradigm for mental wellness in the entrepreneurial world. I encourage founders to question their beliefs about work, success, and themselves to unlock a more joyful and creative entrepreneurial journey.
