Building a business with a chronic health condition is hard.

If you’re trying to grow a business while juggling flares, fatigue and brain fog – The Chronic Entrepreneur Free Community was created for you.

It’s a private Telegram space for entrepreneurs who want to build businesses that work with their bodies, not against them, with people who get it.

Most people don’t struggle in business because they’re not good enough…

They struggle because they’re trying to follow strategies that don’t fit their life or energy.

They’re told to do more.
Push harder.
Show up constantly.

But if your energy is limited, that approach isn’t just difficult, it’s not designed for the way you need to work.

What actually works is:
- clarity
- structure (with flexibility)
- support

That’s what allows your business to grow without burning you out.

You don’t need to force yourself into someone else’s version of success.

You need a way of building your business that works with your energy, your capacity, and your real life.

Have you ever felt like you were trying to do business in a way that just doesn’t fit you or your energy?

I didn’t set out to build a business because I wanted more hustle, I built it because I needed more flexibility, freedom, and a way to work that supported my health.

In 2018, I was diagnosed with ME/CFS after months of struggling with my health following glandular fever.

At the time, I was trying to keep going.

Pushing through.
Working long hours.
Commuting.
Juggling multiple jobs.
Using every bit of energy I had and then spending the rest of my time recovering.

I knew something had to change.

As someone who had always worked hard, first as a teacher, then as a tutor and assessor, it was difficult to accept that traditional employment no longer fit the life, flexibility, or energy I needed.

While away in France, for a winter season, I broke my wrist and needed surgery.

And strangely, that forced pause became a turning point.

During that time, I started building a business that could work around me.

A business where I could rest when I needed to.
Choose how I worked.
Protect my energy.
Reduce stress.
And build something meaningful without sacrificing my health.

Now, I help other entrepreneurs with chronic health conditions do the same.

Because building a business shouldn’t come at the expense of your wellbeing.

It should support your life, your health, and your happiness 💙

What would change for you if your business worked with your energy, not against it?

You get the white board out to do some strategy work and Leo decides he needs to be involved 🤣

Rest is not a reward for finishing your list.

Low-energy days are part of the plan, not a failure.

If today is a low-energy day, your win might be:

- replying to one message
- posting one thing
- taking one real break

Save this. What counts as a win for you on a low-energy day?
