As an entrepreneur, business owner, or professional, you've learned the value of perseverance, determination, and straightforward hard work.

Where others see problems, you find solutions. Where others are slow to act, you roll up your sleeves and get to work. You feel called to be more, do more and give more, but trying to achieve your ambitious goals while managing your energy and staying healthy is challenging.

Chances are you can't remember the last time you had more than 6 1/2 hours of sleep. You're either thinking of your to-do list or running to go and do it.

Meanwhile, ever-present overwhelm, tiredness, potentially fatigue, aches, and pains, caused by responding to stress in ways that create even more stress, compromise your health and performance.

Does it have to be that way?

It will probably stay that way if you are not managing your energy and living the typical lifestyle, trying to wedge in fitness and a little "healthy living" here and there. 

But if you set yourself up for success and learn how to live a balanced and healthy, high-performance lifestyle by taking these three steps, it will all begin to change for the better immediately.
