Entrepreneurship Is Like Therapy, But Accelerated

Entrepreneurship Is Like Therapy, But Accelerated30 sep9 min

Entrepreneurship changes much more than the way you work.

Recently, I was invited by Robin Wong on his podcast Leaders Beyond the Stage for a conversation about my journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship.

In this snippet, we agree on the fact that entrepreneurship is like therapy, but accelerated. Building a business forces you to learn about yourself quickly. Your resilience, your ego and the way you deal with uncertainty and problems get tested.

We also talked about the mental load of running your own business and about not switching off completely.
