He, himself, was suffering from a sense of burnout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI remember looking at my twin sister\u2019s picture and thinking it was time to make the commitment to myself to enjoy things more, to enjoy life more,\u201d said Dr. Astruc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Astruc\u2019s sister had recently died and he was reflecting on the way she lived her life during her final years. He said she lived a life filled with happiness and grace, something he wanted to emulate. It was then he decided the stress from his career was taking away from his quality of life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Astruc explored different paths before landing on the one that felt right. He created Your Next Act, in which he teaches resilience and leadership. He said the goal is to improve mental fitness and well-being so that entrepreneurs can start enjoying their dream. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI wanted to find a way to take my expertise and have a bigger, more meaningful impact on the world, and this feels like a good way for me to do that,\u201d said Astruc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->He said the services he provides are at a price point for serious entrepreneurs who are looking for support. He also offers free informational pieces on his website and Facebook page. He is also hoping to hold workshops by branching out into a group coaching format.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhat I have to offer may not be something that a small business owner is quite ready for. But I have a fair amount of free materials and Facebook Live sessions. The content is there to help people,\u201d said Astruc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Your Next Act offers executive coaching, a one-on-one coaching experience for entrepreneurial executives. Astruc also provides motivational public speaking and has a blog on his website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">He is currently practicing in Saratoga Springs, working with individuals to explore and treat biological roadblocks to success including ADHD, depression, anxiety, and addictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Your Next Act is located at 414 Maple Ave. Suite 700. He can be reached at 518-583-7410 or &#109;&#x61;s&#x74;r&#117;&#x63;&#64;&#x6d;a&#110;&#x75;&#101;&#x6c;a&#x73;&#x74;&#114;&#x75;c&#x2e;c&#111;&#x6d;.
