I did exactly this.
Hit revenue goals while quietly destroying my health. 3am anxiety sessions. Decision fatigue by noon. "I'm fine" became my default lie.
The wake-up call wasn't dramatic - it was realizing I was building a business for freedom while breaking down the one thing I needed to enjoy it.
My health journey wasn't about getting ripped or hitting some aesthetic goal. It was about admitting the body running everything else deserved the same strategic attention as my business.
The irony? I was optimizing lead gen systems while manually destroying my operating system.
Now health isn't separate from my business strategy - it's the foundation of it.
Clear mind = better decisions. Consistent energy = sustained execution. Recovery time = thinking time.
You can't scale what you can't sustain. And you can't sustain what you're actively destroying.
What did you build in your business before you built in yourself?
