You make some great points here! I know from my experince when I was working and hating my job I was sick as a dog all the time.

In the past two years since I have been able to quite my job and work from home I have not been sick more than once or twice and I usually bounce back quickly!

Maybe, because I love what I am doing know???? LOL

And maybe, my mind does have an affect on my physical health.

When I went solo my biggest fear was health insurance. Even though I’m fairly healthy and also work out several times a week that fact didn’t help my kid who broke his arm. Luckily the $7K bill to set the arm was picked up by the insurance company. Des hit this nail on the head, you better stay healthy but you better have health insurance as well when you fly solo.

Des,

Its a very good point. Someone I know is writing a book about health and well-being for 40+ folk. One of the points he makes is that its no fun having super if you aren’t healthy enough to make use of it. So keeping fit is very important for small business people – during the business years (as your post makes very clear), but then to make sure we get to enjoy the fruits of our labours in the post-business years.
