Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Habit stacking has been a cornerstone of my routine-building process for years. The concept is simple, and you’ve likely heard it from James Clear’s Atomic Habits: link a new habit to one you’re already doing, so it becomes automatic. I’ve written about my habit stacks before, and like most entrepreneurs, I’m always looking for ways to save time, build momentum and be more intentional with how I show up.Recently, I’ve been refining my stacks to move beyond productivity into leadership, parenting and wellness. These new combinations aren’t just about efficiency. They’re about…

India’s startup ecosystem has long been associated with the metropolitan cities of Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Hyderabad. These Tier-I cities have offered startups access to capital, infrastructure, and a mature talent pool. However, in the past few years, a quiet but powerful shift is underway—India’s Tier-II and Tier-III cities are emerging as the new engines of startup growth and innovation. From Bhopal to Bhubaneswar, from Kochi to Kanpur, entrepreneurs are building high-impact ventures outside the traditional startup corridors, and investors are taking note. Their interest stems from the massive untapped market potential, where startups are solving for agri-tech, education, vernacular…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. When I first started out, I said yes to everything.That’s what most entrepreneurs do. You’re in build mode, and you don’t want to miss an opportunity, so you keep stacking your calendar and pushing forward. But at some point, all that saying yes becomes a liability.For me, it showed up in the form of distractions. I was spending time on things that didn’t align with our strengths, didn’t serve our customers, and, if I’m honest, didn’t energize me or my team. I knew I needed a filter to evaluate the flood of…

We tend to put stress into one big, ugly bucket. We hate it, avoid it, and blame it for everything from our burnout to bad sleep. But what if stress wasn’t always the villain? What if, with the right amount, it could actually help you thrive?That’s where the Yerkes-Dodson Law comes in. It’s a century-old psychological principle that proves stress isn’t the actual problem; mismanaged stress is.Let’s break it down and see how ordinary stress, when handled right, can supercharge performance.What is the Yerkes-Dodson Law?Discovered in 1908 by psychologists Robert Yerkes and John Dodson, this law describes the relationship between…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. A friend of mine got the kind of news that drops the floor out from under you. The kind of diagnosis that turns life into countdowns and appointments. But what he remembers most wasn’t a doctor or a test result; it was a hospital visit, one of many. He pulled up curbside, emotionally wrecked. It was raining, and a staff member — not a nurse, not a doctor, not someone “customer-facing” — stepped out with an umbrella and walked him to the door.There was no clipboard, no protocol, just a human recognizing…

After battling chronic gut issues since childhood and cycling through a bunch of traditional medicine, Schaper found relief through functional mushrooms and never looked back. She teamed up with a co-founder to create SuperMush, a line of sugar-free mushroom-based gummies, mints, and mouth sprays that promote energy, focus, and relaxation.But as the company has grown, so has the stress. “The irony is we’re creating a mental health brand,” Schaper said, “and the attempt to maintain our own mental health through the process of building and scaling a CPG company is pretty wild.”Schaper recently appeared on Entrepreneur Therapy, presented by Amazon…

India’s pharmaceutical and healthcare sector witnessed a significant slowdown in deal activity in the second quarter of 2025, with overall transaction value plunging 62% from the previous quarter, according to a new report from Grant Thornton Bharat. The number of deals also fell, albeit more modestly, to 57 from 67.Total deal value stood at $1.3 billion, sharply down from $2.1 billion in Q1 2025.
