In The 7 Deadly Emotions of Entrepreneurship, Dr. Michael Burcham reveals the inner journey behind every founder’s outer success. Drawing from decades of experience building companies and coaching hundreds of CEOs, he explores how emotions like anxiety, insecurity, rejection, frustration, let down, fatigue, and stress aren’t signs of weakness—they’re the real work of entrepreneurship. This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a survival manual for builders, dreamers, and doers determined to endure long enough to create something that lasts. Each chapter offers tools, stories, and field-tested frameworks to help leaders transform emotional chaos into clarity, resilience, and growth. Whether you’re launching your first startup or leading your fifth, this book will help you master the hardest part of entrepreneurship—the part inside you.
Michael is an executive coach, entrepreneur, investor, and strategist with 30 years of experience leading investor-backed, high-growth organizations.
