Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. It’s a conversation I’ve had more times than I can count — often quietly, sometimes tearfully — shared across boardrooms and kitchen tables, in community centers or through late-night phone calls. A colleague admits they’re barely getting by. A parent is concerned that their teen won’t get out of bed. A friend says each day feels like walking through quicksand.And almost every time, the same question comes up: Where do I even start to get help?In a country as advanced and well-resourced as the United States, finding that answer shouldn’t be so…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Recently, I had to give someone tough feedback. And let me tell you, I did not want to have that conversation.You might find it ironic since I literally wrote a book about owning everything in your life, including your feedback. That’s what my first book, The Ownership Mindset, is all about. As I work through the first round of edits on my second book, which is dedicated entirely to feedback, you’d think giving it would come more easily to me. But even after years of leading teams and teaching people about feedback,…

At first, I really thought I needed a big title.I cofounded Mid-Day Squares in 2018 with my sister and her husband. They’d created our product, which is a chocolate afternoon snack with protein and fiber. So they became co-CEOs (they’re awesome operators).

But as soon as our company started to grow, I began to fail. To understand why, I needed to ask myself some big questions like: What is my actual value?…
