Your Business Is Not Your Worth | Tanya Wannemacher on Entrepreneurship & Self-Worth

What happens when your business becomes part of your identity? For many entrepreneurs, a bad month doesn’t just feel like the business is struggling. It starts to feel like you are failing. In this episode of Business Owners Unfiltered, Elias Crum talks with Tanya Wannemacher, founder and CEO of Mesh Coaching, about entrepreneurship, self-worth, ambition, overworking and what Tanya calls the “messy middle.” They discuss why working harder is not always the answer, how your thoughts and emotions influence the actions you take, and why separating your personal worth from the performance of your business can actually make you a stronger entrepreneur. One of the key ideas in the conversation is the difference between: Do → Be → Have and Be → Do → Have Instead of believing that you first need to achieve something in order to become successful or feel worthy, Tanya argues that who you are and how you see yourself influences the actions you take — and ultimately the results you create. In this episode: Why entrepreneurs connect business performance to self-worth The danger of constant hustle and overworking What Tanya means by the “messy middle” How to stay ambitious without letting your company define you Why thoughts influence emotions, actions and results The difference between circumstances and the meaning we give them Why self-worth should not depend on revenue, recognition or success How psychology, neuroscience and spirituality can overlap Why even very rational, results-driven entrepreneurs may benefit from this perspective About Tanya Wannemacher Tanya Wannemacher is the founder and CEO of Mesh Coaching, where MESH stands for Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Health.
