#20 Create, don't just respond - How to make progress in your business

The Lisa Bean Podcast

Being an entrepreneur is one of the craziest, stupidest, dumbest things you're going to attempt. And once you are afflicted with the purpose of being an entrepreneur and building companies, you can't help it. You cannot suppress entrepreneurship. If you've got a drive to create things, just accept that you're stuck with it.

In this episode, I want to talk about burnout and overwhelm. I'm going to run through the things I do to manage burnout and keep it at bay. At the end of the episode, I'm going to show you how to reframe your goals, and break them down using four key categories that will make it easier to understand what's required to go the distance without burning out and feeling totally overwhelmed.

And I promise you, I will not mention SMART goals ONCE!

What I’m Covering:

• My definition of burnout and the underlying causes of it
• How to assess your skill set, capacity and energy levels in relation to what you want to achieve
• A sensibly stupid goal - what’s that?
• Where to get the real feedback on the effort you’re putting in
• The order of events - how to make yourself safe before you stretch too thin
• Never forget that entrepreneurship is SELLING the stuff you’re making
• Why you must learn which activities make your brain switch off

To break through as an entrepreneur, you’ll need to put in the work of an elite athlete. But don't punish yourself on this crazy journey. There is a better way to succeed and achieve your goals, without the burnout and overwhelm.
