Being an entrepreneur can take a toll on your mental health. On this episode of the ROI Online Podcast, author and entrepreneur Michael G. Dash shares the highs and lows he’s faced during his career—and how positivity helped him break the cycle of addiction. Michael was always exceptional at sales and being an entrepreneur. He could start, grow, and sell businesses with ease. But in the past, he struggled with communication and emotional intelligence.

After making millions managing a book business, he started a business with a former co-worker. The company quickly grew to a half-million-dollar business. Unfortunately, while the business succeeded, he and the co-owner started butting heads. He wanted to grow it to a 20 million dollar business and sell it. She wanted to leave it as-is. He was working 10-hour workdays. She worked 6 hours but wanted the same pay. He bought the company from her, but she violated their agreement. The legal fees and settlements ended up costing him $1.35 million.

At the same time, Michael was struggling with addiction. When he was 11, his uncle showed him how to gamble and the worst thing that could happen happened: he had his first win. He chased that high for years. When he got to college, his addiction to gambling morphed into an addiction to drugs. He was constantly busy, selling and working non-stop, all while smoking marijuana and popping pills outside the office.

Everything turned around when he went to a conference in Bali. He signed up for a course. He went through a process of clearing away limiting beliefs through tapping and EMDR, and then inputting positive beliefs. Slowly, he was able to cut ties with the life that left him feeling trapped. He wrote his book, Chasing the High: An Entrepreneur’s Mindset Through Addiction, Lawsuits, and His Journey to the Edge, to share his story and help other entrepreneurs escape the trap of a fast-paced, action-packed, nonstop lifestyle.

Today, Michael is a CEO and an executive coach who helps other CEOs run their companies. He also has a nonprofit called Activated.Life that focuses on mental health within the entrepreneur space and entrepreneur communities. He does a lot of work in the prison system and is working on setting up temporary housing as people transition out of incarceration and back into civilian life.
