656. Jennifer Clements' Story Mental Health Awareness and What it Means for Families

According to a study from the National Institute of Mental Health, 72% of entrepreneurs are directly or indirectly affected by mental health issues compared to just 48% of non-entrepreneurs. But maintaining your mental health while keeping your business running doesn't have to be a burden you carry on your own.

 

Meet Jennifer Wells (LinkedIn), Co-Owner of Clements Electric in Texas and Founder of League of Contractors (website). Jennifer knows how hard entrepreneurship (and life in general) can be on one’s mental health… that’s why she started League of Contractors! League of Contractors was built by contractors for contractors. It's a free app that hosts a group of home service professionals that supports and refers work to one another. Work referrals are made in the app and contractors only have to pay if they choose to receive a referral. 

 

Referrals are sent to only ONE contractor, so there are no competing contractors to get leads. This app makes sure customers don't feel like they are being overwhelmed by multiple contractors and gives contractors the chance to build their business with less hassle and effort.

 

Join us as we talk with Jennifer about her journey with mental health along with powerful tips and advice for growing your business through life’s hardest challenges!

 

In this episode we discuss:

• The power of vulnerability and sharing your mental health journey.
• How to know if your child/teenager’s mental health is suffering and what to do about it.
• How Jennifer grew her business through communication, vulnerability, transparency, and technician recognition.
