Three years after launching my photography business, I realized that there’s A LOT more that goes into being a successful entrepreneur than acquiring clients, keeping track of numbers, and meeting goals.

It took overworking myself into a major illness for me to wake up to this, which is why I’m so adamant about sharing these tips whenever and wherever I can.

You must take care of YOU first. Period. End of story. It is NOT selfish to put your physical, mental, and emotional health first before everything else in your life. When you’re running at your optimum, it affects everyone around you in a positive way.

Your team members, family members, and friends will see you embodying self-respect and will want to do the same for themselves. When you empower yourself, you empower those closest to you.

A rising tide lifts all boats.
