Challenge To Triumph: Advice To Overcome The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster

The journey of entrepreneurship is fraught with challenges. However, as may be said of any endeavor, success lies not in the attainment of the end-goal, but rather in the mastery of self through the lessons learned along the way. 

The hallmark of a true entrepreneur lies in the appreciation of each challenge being a lesson in disguise.

In 2020, as the World began to navigate the Pandemic, renowned Life Coach and celebrated Author Mel Robbins, wrote her latest book, ‘The High Five Habit’. During a recent podcast interview with Jay Shetty, Robbins shared what contributed to the creation of the book:

‘It is about learning to wipe the dust off the mirror between ourselves and our reflection staring back at us’

In March 2020, within the space of 72 hours, Robbins endured a barrage of obstacles: her CBS Daily Broadcast Show was axed, her publishing contract was cancelled and her daughters’ College closed. She felt complete defeat.

Robbins attributes the success of her book to the events of those 72 hours. Had they not transpired as they did, she might never have created ‘The High Five Habit’.  

In a recent interview Kendra Davies and Bella Marie Lane, shared their own stories of overcoming adversity to reach success in their businesses. 

Kendra Davies: Learn How To Stay In Your Lane

Kendra Davies is one of America’s leading Life Coaches and advisor to Fortune 100 Companies, with the foundation of her work rooted in the science of Positive Psychology.

During times of difficulty, a common default behaviour of high-achieving women is to isolate. At a time when isolation is already amplified by current world circumstances, the result can lead to obsessively focusing on what your competitors are doing, and falsely believing you need to follow suit. Learning how to put your blinkers on and stay in your own lane, was the lesson in disguise waiting for Davies. It enabled her to create a business that has thrived during one of the most challenging times in economic history.

Her biggest piece of advice:

‘Let go of all the ideas of what you thought you needed to look like or act like in order to create success. Comparison creates a prison within the mind, no CEO can operate from that place, let it go and stay in your lane! Define success for yourself and hold yourself to that standard.’

Bella Maree Lane: Fortitude And Faith

Entrepreneurship is a journey of self mastery, where moving through the valleys allows you to relish in the peaks. One of the many pillars to mastery is mentorship. Bella Maree Lane, who has spent the past 2 decades working with World-Class Mentors, has mastered the understanding of when to do the work, and when to outsource support in the pursuit of long lasting change.

Lane is an Australian Heart Wound Healer, and Tantric and Conscious Intimacy Coach, who resides in Southern California. She specializes in the areas of relatability and relationships, two concepts that many have struggled with during extended lockdowns and extenuating external circumstances.

During a recent 12 month mentorship, Lane came to the sobering realization that until now, her life had been missing a deeper level of fortitude and faith. The awakening spurred a level of growth in her business, far beyond anything she had previously experienced.

Her biggest piece of advice:

‘Don’t continually seek and pay “experts” once you have a certain level of expertise yourself. Look for the answers within. Trust yourself and your judgment. This means staying informed, flexible, and committed. Delegate activities not within your wheelhouse. Realize your worth and only do what best amplifies and reflects that.’

Michelle has been a part of the journey ever since Bigtime Daily started. As a strong learner and passionate writer, she contributes her editing skills for the news agency. She also jots down intellectual pieces from categories such as science and health.

Helping Women Over 40: Jeanette Fritsch’s Transformational Program

For many women, the onset of their 40s marks the beginning of a range of physiological changes. Symptoms like insomnia, memory issues, mood swings, and joint pain often arrive years before the commonly recognized signs of menopause. 

Jeanette Fritsch, a well-aging expert, believes these issues stem from complex hormonal shifts and lifestyle factors rather than simply aging. Her SRB&B® (Stop, Reset, Build & Balance) method aims to provide solutions by addressing these hormonal interactions holistically. Through years of research, Fritsch has identified a pattern that reshapes common perceptions about midlife health. “The hormonal journey for women is not a disease or a phase to endure; it’s a complex biological transition that requires education and support,” she explains. 

Her SRB&B® method is designed to help women understand and manage this transition by balancing hormones naturally rather than solely relying on medication or conventional therapies.

Expanding Competence in Midlife Health

Despite the growth of the wellness industry, many health professionals report feeling unprepared to support clients over 40, especially when it comes to hormonal health. The Global Wellness Institute reports that wellness coaching is expanding by 7.7% annually, but fewer than 10% of coaches feel they have adequate training in hormone-related health. This gap leaves many individuals underserved and often forces them to rely on general advice that may not fully address their needs.

Fritsch’s program fills this void by providing a structured, science-backed curriculum for health professionals, from coaches to medical practitioners. Her certification program equips professionals to understand and work with the hormonal dynamics that influence stress, metabolism, and emotional well-being. It challenges the traditional wellness model, which often assumes all clients can follow the same fitness and nutrition advice regardless of age and hormonal state.

“Many fitness and wellness programs simply don’t consider that women over 40 have different needs,” Fritsch notes. “Ignoring these differences can lead to programs that do more harm than good.”

The Science Behind SRB&B®: How Hormones Influence Health

The SRB&B® method is not a conventional wellness program but a targeted approach Fritsch developed after years of research and personal experience. Her four-step model—Stop, Reset, Build, and Balance—focuses on the HPAT hormonal axis, a network of glands that includes the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenals, and thyroid. This system is important in maintaining hormonal balance, impacting everything from metabolism and sleep to mood and cognition.

The SRB&B® method aims to “repair” and restore the body’s natural balance by targeting this axis. The process goes beyond addressing individual symptoms; it seeks to improve the hormonal interactions contributing to midlife health challenges. According to journal studies like The Lancet, integrating lifestyle adjustments with hormonal health knowledge can reduce the severity of age-related symptoms. Fritsch’s clients, for instance, report improvements ranging from weight loss and clearer mental function to better sleep.

Fritsch’s certification program for coaches and practitioners provides in-depth education on these biochemical processes, with the goal of creating a network of certified SRB&B® practitioners. “There’s so much to understand about how hormones affect the body,” says Fritsch. “We can’t treat them in isolation without looking at how everything interacts.”

A New Model for Corporate Wellness

Fritsch has also adapted her program for corporate wellness, focusing on the aging workforce and the challenges associated with midlife health issues in high-stress environments. Research from the Harvard Business Review reveals that companies investing in wellness programs see improvements in productivity and employee retention. However, most wellness programs focus on mental resilience, neglecting the physical and hormonal aspects that can impact performance.

Fritsch created a corporate offering that provides companies with resources to support their employees as they navigate these changes. Her program includes targeted support for senior staff, who often experience stress and burnout related to hormonal changes that could be managed with the right knowledge and tools.

“Many executives are under the impression that exhaustion and burnout are just a part of getting older,” Fritsch says. “The truth is, there are underlying hormonal factors that, if addressed, can improve not just quality of life but also work performance.”

Expanding Access to Midlife Wellness

One of Fritsch’s long-term goals is to establish a global network of SRB&B® certified practitioners to provide more accessible, specialized support. Her program is open to many professionals, including fitness trainers, nutritionists, therapists, and even medical doctors. Practitioners who complete the certification gain an understanding of midlife health challenges that they can integrate into their practice.

This approach has already gained traction in Europe, where Fritsch’s certification program has begun to address the rising demand for midlife wellness support. Her next step is to expand to the U.S. and U.K., two markets with increasing awareness of midlife health issues but limited specialized services. A 2023 study indicated a shortage of nearly 170,000 certified health coaches in the U.S., with demand growing as more individuals seek support for age-related health concerns.

“There’s incredible untapped potential here,” Fritsch says. “When women—and men—learn how to work with their bodies instead of against them, the results are transformative.”
