Burnout isn’t a badge. It’s a law telling you that you’ve been allowing yourself to receive less than the energy you’ve been putting in. In any business, there are two kinds of activities. The ones that drain you, spreadsheets you perceive you have to check every day, even when you hate them, cost energy without giving any back. The ones that inspire you give more energy at the end than they took. Burnout shows up when the have-tos pile up and the inspired activities barely make the list. Send this to someone who’s been running on empty and calling it discipline. 🔖 #burnout #energymanagement #businessowner #consciousleadership
