THE PROBLEM
Business ownership is
officially classified as
an extreme occupation
It creates extreme rewards, with extreme stressors.
This can lead to conflicting experiences of
flourishing and ill-being. This impacts actual and
perceived performance at home and in business.
THE SOLUTION
Mind Your Business is a course informed by award-winning research from a team of researchers at Durham University.
This course looks at the tensions, rewards and stressors of the whole of a business owner’s work and home life together, not just one area in isolation.
It explores being and doing – helping people decide how best for them to make decisions based on why they started in the first place, rather than teaching them technical skills to use in their practical tasks.
Founded by Professor Pablo Munoz, and entrepreneurs Kat Sykes and Jason Smith, MYB Business Development delivers the Mind Your Business course to founders, support professionals and educational institutions in the UK and internationally.
