It’s been awhile since I last recorded an episode because I suffered burnout. 

So, in this episode I shared with you why, how it started, how I recognized it and how I was able to overcome it.

If you are experiencing burnout in your business, listen to this episode and let me know how you are now, I would love to know.

Here are some key things to remember to know and overcome burnout:

• Recognize the signs of burnout (feeling overwhelmed, cynical, and disengaged from your work, physical symptoms)

• Practice self-care (take breaks, prioritize sleep and exercise, engage in activities that bring joy and relaxation)

• Set realistic goals and boundaries for yourself

• Delegate tasks and seek support from employees, partners, or peers

• Seek professional help, such as coaching or counseling, to address underlying issues or patterns that contribute to burnout

• Prioritize self-awareness and reflection to identify areas of growth and personal development

• Learn to say no and prioritize your time and energy

• Surround yourself with a supportive community of peers or mentors who understand and can offer support.

Remember, as a business owner, your mental and physical well-being are crucial to the success of your business. By taking steps to address burnout and prioritize self-care, you can overcome burnout and regain your energy, motivation, and passion for your work.

Following the path of other successful businesses is smart, but it's vital that you understand the full strategy you're following and that you're able to execute it. 

Strategy from an outside observer's perspective can be very different from reality. 

If you're following a strategy that has different priorities to you or has a vastly different budget then it's highly unlikely it will generate the kind of result you're hoping for.
