I have founded @enzymefinance almost 10 years ago and @Avantgardefi 4 years ago. One of the personal questions I get asked the most is how I’ve avoided burning out with all the ups and downs in the space.
The truth is, I’ve come close a few times. Here are 3 things that helped me, and maybe can help others as well 👇
1. Say no more often.
Don’t let calls, travel & events dominate your calendar. I’ve also found it helpful to block out some quiet thinking time in the calendar each week.
2. Switch off.
When you’re done with work, switch off and take a break from your phone. Do things you enjoy. For me, it's spending time with family and playing tennis.
3. Breathe.
When I first started doing breathing exercises 5 years ago, I could only hold my breath for 25 seconds. My lung capacity was low and it led to more stress & anxiety. Now, I can hold for 3 minutes. Breathing is the best drug, and it costs nothing.
