Did you know that distorted beliefs about yourself and your capabilities can profoundly impact your business? Mental health isn’t just a personal issue—it can significantly affect your professional success and entrepreneurial potential. Most people wouldn’t even fathom the extent to which their mental health can influence their business outcomes. Often referred to as business stress is defined as a state of emotional or mental pressure caused by external stressors at work or by the person’s internal response to unfavorable work circumstances, is also known as workplace stress (Smith, 2023).
In reality, these internal struggles often seep into your professional life, affecting how you make decisions, set goals, and interact with others. As a licensed psychotherapist, I often see the how unresolved mental health issues can lead to a lack of confidence, fear of failure, and imposter syndrome, significantly impacting every aspect of a person’s live including both their professional and personal life- and quite frankly its quite disheartening. This often results in missed opportunities, lower productivity, and ultimately, diminished business growth.
So, What Can You Do About It?
I recently spoke with my dear friend & business advisor Kyle Baxter, the owner of Big Bill Dog Consulting, about this very topic on his podcast – The Big Bulldog Review Podcast. Our discussion revealed that many business owners are unaware of how their unconscious, distorted mindsets are hindering their entrepreneurial goals and preventing them from reaching their fullest potential.
