How to Deal With the Psychological Toll of Starting Up

Entrepreneurs live lives that are devoid of sleep, high-stress and generally exhausting. Aside from the physical side effects this lifestyle can have, it can (and at some point will) take a psychological toll if you don’t face your bad habits head-on.
