What is your best piece of advice for anyone that wants to be an entrepreneur? Take care of your health. I just drove myself into the ground. There was a former version of me in my early 20s that was grinding very hard to be an entrepreneur, and I had a badge of honor. I was ragged. I didn't sleep. It was kind of what you did, try to be an epic entrepreneur. I really wish I hadn't done that. I wish someone would have told me health is your number one priority. Everything else you're trying to do is secondary. I'd argue you're going to be a better entrepreneur if you take care of your health. If that's your number one goal. Yeah, you'll be just as successful as you would have been. If it's a myth that you have to grind yourself to the ground to be successful.
