3 Ways to Stay Healthy and Sane as an Entrepreneur
1. Wake Up Earlier
Before launching my business, I would read profiles about entrepreneurs who would wake up at o’dark-thirty to ride their bicycles to the office or swim laps in the pool to start their day. But somehow, when we started the food truck, I assumed that I would have plenty of time to continue my workouts, even while managing my growing business.The truth was, I underestimated the power of getting up early.
