Burnout is one of the top reasons entrepreneurs give up. In fact, over half (52%) of small business owners said that their role has caused them stress over the past year, and more than a third (35%) felt mental exhaustion. Building something meaningful requires stamina, not just strategy.

Resilience is the edge that allows entrepreneurs to keep going when others quit.
