Working at your own pace, at a time when you want, and at a place where you get inspired are all perks of being an entrepreneur. While working for yourself can be exciting, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed or burned out, especially when dealing with challenging or difficult tasks. Due to these factors, you may be tempted to throw in the towel and quit. If this is how you feel, you may be going through entrepreneurial burnout.

On this episode, we’re discussing why entrepreneurs are at a higher risk of burnout. We’ll also share the essence of focusing on the things you can control, the importance of belonging to a community, and why you need to remember the core reason why you’re doing what you do.

 

When you’re feeling uninspired or unmotivated day after day after day, you know that it’s time to make a change.” - Kristin Ostrander
