0:00.0	How is an entrepreneur, do you find that balance and know when is enough good enough?
0:05.0	Entrepreneur mental health is extremely important because if you're not well, your revenue is going to suffer eventually.
0:11.9	There is no other way. You know, I'm super ambitious and I of course want to grow, but not at the detriment to what I really care about.
0:20.2	Knowing your enough
0:21.3	points essential, because when you get to that point without awareness, you'll just keep going.
0:26.3	Truthfully, I think if you want to have a better relationship to productivity and your life

1:43.5	excited because today we have Isra Nizia on the
1:46.6	podcast. Now she is a psychotherapist, a speaker, founder of the mental health brand, a well guide.
1:54.6	And why I really wanted to have her on is I fundamentally do agree. I do think productivity is an emotional management
2:01.7	issue because a lot of the time when we are addicted to busyness and more and proving and people
2:09.8	pleasing and all those things, that stems from our emotions and how we are feeling and the beliefs that we hold. And so I was really
2:20.1	excited to have her on to really get into that conversation and to look at what does it really take
