Self-Care for Entrepreneurs: Why You Can't Pour From an Empty Cup

As an entrepreneur, I have quickly learned that you CANNOT pour from an empty cup. When you’re reliant completely on yourself for all your income, the maintenance and growth of your business, and your general happiness, you can very quickly become drained and depleted.

This makes self-care a crucial part of my business plan - yes, business plan.

I schedule time for walks and yoga every day, so I can clear my mind, maintain my health, and decompress from work.

I schedule dinners with my son and social time with my friends and colleagues.

And though it may seem silly, self-care has prevented me from experiencing extreme burnout from pulling from reserves I don’t have.

Share with me - how can you make self-care a part of your business plan?
