How do you handle stress and anxiety post searching? Being able to paint your own picture is amazing but this road is a lot harder than I ever imagined. Do you all find it worth it or would you rather have stayed in a job?

-you signed up for this, get your ass into gear and force yourself to make it happen. You can’t quit, sorry.
-found out I wasn’t alone when I met genuine friends through an entrepreneur network. can share your most brutal ups and downs helped me weather the storms and get fresh perspective. -successful people still have problems unfortunately (sad day that was)
-there’s usually a way out of a bad situation. Your ability to navigate rough waters over long periods of time is really all that matters. Long game > short game.
-talking to a therapist helped, I found many of my issues were self posed (having an impossibly high bar for myself but not holding others to the same standard)
-find meaning in your journey. I could never figure this one out as I was always focused on the outcome.
-take a personality test, understand how you are wired and do things proactively to help you do better for yourself personally and in your biz
