Entrepreneur and good health Good health is a remarkable aspect of entrepreneurial life. For many entrepreneurs this is simply because they refuse to be sick, mostly because they can’t afford to be. The entrepreneur finds no benefit in this concept as their sick-leave entitled corporate counterpart may find. We believe that good health for the entrepreneur is derived from their positive and creative mind set, their problem solving obsession and living the life of ‘doing what they love + loving what they do’ that keeps them so. They give no mind to the carcinogens of envy, anger and jealousy because they are too obsessed with pursuing their own fun, fortune and fulfilment. Not only is good health a benefit of the entrepreneurial life, but it is also a necessity, because successful entrepreneurs are often called upon to work long hours for extended periods of time. Research [5] carried out in 2006 inidcates that entrepreneurs are objectively more healthy than others.

The founder of the website Baby Boomer Entrepreneurs in the article [6] “Characteristics of Entrepreneurs”,believes that being in business for yourself is good for health. They believe that good health is a common trait of entrepreneurs primarily because their stress can be self-managed whilst the work-for-the-man stress is imposed and many times irresolvable. It is this unresolved stress that the author believes leads to poor health. The author contends that “being an entrepreneur is one of the healthiest occupations on the planet.” – We agree!

"My good health comes from a balanced diet of accepted truth whilst exercising much kindness, integrity and cheer and avoiding those deadly carcinogens of envy, anger, jealousy, revenge, pretence and double-mindedness" PB
