Here's how you can stay active and healthy while running your business.

There is no point in dreaming of exits, taking a company public or bootstrapping a business to millions in ARR if you don’t have your health. It will be short lived. The best entrepreneurs find a way to enhance their skills and mindset by keeping their mind and body in check. It all starts with setting priorities. The same way you prioritize your business, you have to do the same with scheduling your activities. Walk 10,000 steps each day (this can be done in the morning, parking your car further away, or even going out for a creative brainstorming stroll) Schedule some intense work outs. These can release stress in a short period of time. It’s hard work growing a startup, it becomes easier when you are healthy.

You will never 'get' time for fitness, but will always have to 'make' time for it. ** Tip for daily discipline ** Set a time of the day aside, ideally linked to a mandatory discipline. This helps in consistently practicing it, eventually making it a habit. Also something I learnt the hard way in my 20s.. no matter what your age and fitness level, you cannot get away with lack of physical activity for too long. Better to bring fitness at the forefront of your daily schedule.
