I think that now it is even more difficult to survive as an entrepreneur, especially if you run an online business. Many niches become overheated, which puts huge stress on business owners who have enormous responsibility. Before I found mental health for entrepreneurs to support me, I had been feeling really devastated. My workload was killing me. So now I feel much better, I reckon.
