Depression and stress are the top mental health issues that have appeared in a combination of tragic circumstances over the years.

Overcoming mental health pitfalls on the path of becoming a successful entrepreneur

This year of 2024, my main focus has been improving my mental health. It is so challenging to battle with mental health issues if you are surrounded by broken individuals or an unproductive environment. As I grew up in a small rural area called Days Crossroads Community in the Southwest Georgia area, I have certainly experienced some traumatic events which still affect me in my adult years. Many individuals have witnessed several upcoming and successful entrepreneurs fail due to the lack of addressing their mental health while it is in the early stage. It is taboo to open up about speaking even on the subject of mental health because it is not a popular topic of discussion for many unhealthy people. In the African American community, it is very common to act as if all is well even if you are in constant pain and agony.


For instance, I grew up from humble-beginnings and I witnessed first-hand that several parents did not believe in their children sharing their true feelings due to their parental structures (beliefs) called “What goes on in this home, stays in this home.” This particular train of thought has plagued several individual lifestyles as they attempt to navigate through their lives. In the business industry, your mental health is highly valuable due to your work performances. There has been initially living proof that a variety of successful entrepreneurs have used multiple ways of improving their mental health. Remarkably, I highly recommend these three different types of mental health tools which are financial, physical, and spiritual.


Financial healing

Money! Banks! Checks! Savings! Budgets! These are some impeccable words that come to my mind when I mention financial healing. What is financial healing? According to my overall knowledge, financial healing is simply healing from challenging situations that are subject to money in order to make clear, responsible, and wise financial choices. The topic about financial healing has been trending in my daily journey as a business entrepreneur. The experiences of financial struggles took me and molded me into a much stronger soldier ready for war against poverty and truly not give up on myself while I battled with depression and stress. Over the years, I have truly improved in my financial healing in multiple of ways by expressing how I am mentally educating myself as I make wiser financial decisions. The challenges of creating a budget for my funds have made me sketch and invest in areas that are profits in my business guidelines. Additionally, I was blessed to gain two college degrees in Accounting and Business Management in order to elevate my business career as I continue to assist others in learning about financial healing.


Physical healing

Gym! Image! Models! Total Fitness! These are some incredible words that come to my mind as I think about physical healing. According to my previous experiences, physical healing is repairing your body such as weight loss or gain, pain, and even getting the proper (rest) sleep patterns. Depression and stress can make your body experience irregular sleeping patterns plus weight gain due to over eating. Some individuals would debate whether or not physical healing is important due to the lack of self-awareness and I have a saying called “Good Health Equals Awesome Wealth.” I have most definitely struggled with my weight gain due to my physical abilities of not exercising daily as I should. It becomes extremely challenging over a period of time once I established a career as a public figure because image becomes highly important in the real world of high-end business professionals. In August of 2014, at the Peachtree Mall in Columbus, Georgia, I was discovered by an agency called Model Select of New York City to become a professional actor and model on a two year contract.

Spiritual healing

Wisdom! Knowledge! Understanding! These are the insightful words which are primary when I think about spiritual healing. According to my life experiences, spiritual healing is a supernatural force that exists through prayer and meditation from bad to good restoration created from the power of GOD. This particular healing helps your energy become more productive and positive from the daily negative energy created from chaos through a situation or from others that have not been healed spiritually yet.


Sometimes life can place some magnificent blessings in our presence, which brings therapeutic memories such as a pet dog in order to uplift your spiritual health from depression and stress. Often with a perfect bond your pet and you create mind-blowing results for your spiritual healing which transforms into what I call “Love Equals Unity.” For example, my family formal pet named “Trixie” was such an amazing fresh start of love, goodness, peace, joy, and happiness. I remember the wonderful times we shared together as she made me exercise early in the morning and late evenings for her routine walks and restroom time. Every time I would attempt to skip her daily walks or take too long to let her out of the kennel, she would bark so loudly until I took her out for our daily stroll around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, we lost her on March 16th of this year and she will be completely missed and abundantly remembered for the Word of God St. John 3:16 K.J.V. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”


Conclusion

In conclusion, there are three different types of mental health tools which I recommend to help improve your mental health issues and they are called financial, physical, and spiritual. These marvelous healing tools have made some terrific solutions to several problems I experienced previously. My depression and stress levels have decreased rapidly through tranquility which has been in the forefront of my daily life decisions. I would advise anyone that is pursuing to become a legendary business professional to apply these mental health tools as they see fit accordingly. It will indeed help you reach greater ambitious heights in the entire global business industry. So do not be surprised by your results once you accomplish your wildest dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur for the bottom and rising above and beyond your mental health conditions. In fact, my main mission is to advocate for the oppressed, needy, sick, and the poor to go towards the mark of the ultimate prize of mental health prosperity as a successful entrepreneur. My final advice is to stop being embarrassed to speak to someone or get professional help; nevertheless, you will be able to explore multiple renew, refresh, and rejuvenate mental health victories along with several stupendous movements that will last a lifetime.
