have seen cases where business owners get mentally and emotionally affected when things are not going well in their business, personally i have fallen into depression several times during the course of running my business. How do you cope with the mental and emotional stress that comes along with being an entrepreneur? Maybe you experience can help a person or two.

I wish I had some good advice, but I don’t have any. I think you just have to remember you’re special.. Not many, in the grand scheme of things, can start their own business, and the fact that you’re doing it means you know you’re not going to give up. That you have to trust God will help you. Every day has the opportunity to be better than the last.

I don't know I am not an entrepreneur but I guess any method for stress reduction would help.

We had to walk away from a business once but I don't really have any tips on how best to deal with it. Running a business is not easy even when things are going well.

I don't even think there is a best tip to sort this out honestly, i guess one just has to do what works for them.
