Many of us have felt the signs: We lose our cool at work and with our colleagues. The joy we once felt building our companies has vanished over time. Sleepless nights are followed by feeling exhausted in the office or on the road and a struggle to stay focused during the day.

But as I moved into investing, I quickly realized that this new world required a different mindset.
