In today's episode, I dive into the topic of entrepreneurial stress and its relationship to business strategy.

I explore the scenario where despite putting in tremendous effort, progress seems stagnant using the Elephant and the Rider analogy, where the conscious mind (the Rider) attempts to lead the subconscious (the Elephant).

This internal struggle can directly reflect in your business, creating an overwhelming cycle. The key to breaking this cycle is to establish a sense of safety for the Elephant to move in the same direction as the Rider.

Here's What You'll Learn in the Episode:

• How the relationship between entrepreneurial stress and business strategy can revolutionize your approach to running a business.
• Why having a solid business strategy is not only crucial for success but also a powerful tool for reducing stress as a business owner.
• Why relying solely on external circumstances for peace and well-being is a fragile and unsustainable approach, and how you can cultivate inner peace regardless of external factors.
• The subconscious patterns and beliefs that contribute to entrepreneurial stress, and how to overcome them for a more peaceful business journey.
• How to align your conscious and subconscious minds for achieving both success and peace in your business
• How to heal patterns from childhood experiences that shape your beliefs and behaviors in adulthood
• How addressing the root cause of entrepreneurial stress helps to heal subconscious patterns
