Our next Master Class at BUILD is Mental Health and Wellness for Entrepreneurs 🧠 Register now: https://lnkd.in/en-XCKgW Prioritizing your well-being while running a business is a challenge 😣 How do you handle the emotional highs and lows? How do you set healthy boundaries when it could impact your bottom line? How can you handle the stress of bringing on new employees and trusting that you can take a step back when needed? Being an entrepreneur can be gratifying and energizing, but it can also be isolating and taxing. YOU. ARE. NOT. ALONE. 👩🏻🤝🧑🏿 Come spend an evening with a community of entrepreneurs on May 12th, from 6-8pm to BUILD connections, get your mental-health questions answered, and take a collective deep breath.
