164- Entrepreneur care for the business

In this episode of The Struggling Biz podcast show, we discuss a very short audio podcast (actually a book-cast) from Todd Henry called Herding Tigers. It deals with self-care for leaders. However, we can widen the scope for self-care for entrepreneurs and thus make the business healthier to move toward success.

Although the book and its podcast series are about leadership for teams, we can also extrapolate the meaning for small businesses and the leadership from the entrepreneur. Thus, the theme we can extract for thought is: As goes the Entrepreneur, so goes the success of the business.

We strongly recommend that you listen to the 6-minute audio from Todd Henry when he explains the former meaning in light of a leader of a team or business — using five key areas (using the acronym FRESH):

Focus
Relationships
Energy
Stimuli
Hours

And there are many sub-bullets (or questions that are asked when investigating the topics — and they also apply to your business as an entrepreneur).

(N.B. In the past, I have interviewed Todd Henry, and I am sure that he would not mind having you listen to his audio episode about this very critical chapter — as a matter of fact, I would highly recommend that you go and obtain either the audio book or the hardcopy or paperback book to consume it.)

So we hope that these topics and themes of self-care for yourself as an entrepreneur goes beyond the physical health of yourself in making your business more “healthy” toward success.

Thank you for your attention.
