Back to our mini-series on self-care for entrepreneurs, and today we're exploring a pretty fundamental issue. Self-care is all about taking care of and prioritising your needs - and not perpetually martyring yourself to the needs of everyone around you.
So surely, one of the very first questions to answer as you begin your self-care journey is: what are your needs?
What Is Covered:
-Why identifying and meeting your needs is crucial for self-care
-The difference between needs and desires
-The types of needs we have
-Why some needs require constant replenishment
-Why committing to prioritising your needs is essential
Some entrepreneurs "suffer" from answering others' needs while neglecting their own. Whether psychological, physiological, spiritual or relational, identifying your needs and committing to prioritising them is the foundation for sustainable well-being. Remember, taking care of yourself is not selfish - it's a necessary step toward actually making a difference.
