Addictive Entrepreneurship
The Thirteen Steps to Freedom from Work and Life Imbalance
By Allan J. Katz, LPC, CSAT
A guide for entrepreneurs ready to succeed without losing their minds
When Drive Turns Into Compulsion
Entrepreneurship demands focus, risk, and relentless effort.
But for many high achievers, the line between ambition and addiction becomes blurred.
Perfectionism becomes chronic dissatisfaction.
Productivity becomes avoidance.
Work becomes your solitary identity.
Addictive Entrepreneurship explores what happens when work no longer fuels your life but consumes it.
This book offers a grounded, practical path toward success that is sustainable mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Thirteen Character Strengths for Real Freedom
Rather than offering quick productivity hacks, this book introduces thirteen core character strengths that help entrepreneurs overcome workaholic behaviors and regain balance.
You will explore qualities such as:
Perfectionism and the pursuit of excellence
Trust in yourself and others
Spiritual grounding
Healthy risk-taking
Adaptability
Emotional resilience
Integrity in leadership
These are not abstract ideals. They are lived skills that shape both your business and your relationships.
A Realistic Journey Through the Entrepreneurial Mind
Entrepreneurship is not only a business pursuit. It is a psychological and emotional journey.
This book addresses:
The mental habits that drive overwork
The emotional patterns behind compulsive striving
The cost of neglecting relationships
The spiritual emptiness that success sometimes exposes
The courage required to redefine achievement
Through humor, honesty, and hard-earned insight, Allan J. Katz paints business lessons with persistence, creativity, and self-awareness.
Success without balance is not freedom.
This book shows you how to pursue both.
