You’d fire your accountant if they did this.

Are You Heading for a Health Bankruptcy?
Ignore your cashflow. Miss the warning signs. Pretend the overdraft isn’t there.
Yet this is exactly how many entrepreneurs run their health: constant withdrawals, no deposits, and mounting hidden costs.
The Hidden Cost: Entrepreneurial Entropy
I call it Entrepreneurial Entropy - the gradual breakdown of health and resilience that happens when your business always comes first.
It rarely arrives as dramatic burnout. Instead, it’s a quiet erosion of your edge:
- You wake up tired even after a full night’s sleep.
- Midday brain fog forces you to lean on caffeine.
- Your shoulders and jaw are permanently tense.
- You lose patience more quickly than you used to.
- Even on holiday, your brain won’t switch off.
Left unchecked, this is health bankruptcy in slow motion.
Why Don’t Smart Leaders Fix It?
It’s not about knowledge. Most business owners already know what they should be doing.
The real problem is the emotional traps that sabotage progress:
- Guilt – That nagging voice: “You’re being selfish for resting or prioritising yourself.”
- Resistance – The inner negotiation: “Not today. Tomorrow.”
- Failure – The heavy belief: “I’ve slipped before, I’ll slip again. Why bother to get back in the saddle?”
Sound familiar? These traps don’t just waste time. They compound, just like bad debt, until your health balance sheet is in the red.
The Reset Instead of the Overdraft
Just as in finance, the answer isn’t one dramatic bailout. It’s small, consistent deposits.
That’s where WEDGE habits come in:
- They Work.
- They’re Easy.
- They Deliver results.
- They’re Good for you.
- And you’ll Enjoy them enough to keep going.
Think of the thin end of this first W.E.D.G.E. habit as it opens up a whole new world of positive health and well being for you.
Examples?
- Standing up for two minutes every hour.
- Drinking a glass of water before your morning coffee.
- Doing a short 3-minute reset between afternoon meetings.
I have compiled a collection of the 24 most impactful WEDGE habits I would recommend for each of the 4 categories of wellbeing that are addressed in the Wellculator Assessment.
Tiny shifts. But together, they stop the overdraft and start building long-term wellbeing capital.
Why I Created the 21-Day Resilience Reset
I designed the Reset for busy leaders who know their health account is running low, but can’t afford to step back from their business. They know what to do for their health...bit don't do it.
In just 21 days, the Reset helps you:
- Interrupt Entrepreneurial Entropy.
- Neutralise guilt, resistance and failure with proven mindset tools.
- Install one high-leverage WEDGE habit that fits seamlessly into your day.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing less, but better. One habit. One reset. A foundation you can build on for years.
The process is light-touch, just 10–15 minutes a day, but powerful enough to change how you show up in your business and in your life.
All the details about the RESET are HERE.

Final Thought
If you keep treating your health as an overdraft, you’ll eventually be forced to deal with the debt and the cost will be far higher than you want to pay.
The smarter move? Protect your energy as the strategic asset it really is. Start making deposits now.
