#685: The #1 Thing You Can Do As An Entrepreneur To Avoid Burnout


Listen Later

Turning your FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) into JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out) so you never feel burnt out again.


Ever feel like you’re just stretched way too thin? Oh, I know I have! As entrepreneurs, it's so incredibly easy to become overextended. We all want to grab every opportunity that comes our way, take on every task, and say yes to every chance we can for more exposure. Trust me my sweet friend, saying yes to everything might seem like the right thing to do at first, but it's a super slippery slope. 


Early in my entrepreneurial journey, I used to take every single opportunity I was given because of the fear that I might miss out on something. That's right – I was feeling the dreaded FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). But, I would get SO burnt out SO quickly! That is, until I eventually realized that most of the things I was doing weren't actually in service of my long-term goals as a business owner. 


So, in this episode, I’m here to share my biggest pieces of advice for avoiding burnout, open up about my experiences with it (so you can learn from them, of course!), and share my tips and tricks for prioritizing what's truly most important to you and your business. 


Today, you’ll hear about: 

  • 2:27: The importance of setting goals for your business and how I set my quarterly and yearly goals 
  • 4:06: Advice for knowing when to say “no” to opportunities 
  • 9:36: Why you need to get super clear on the season you're in, your values, and your priorities 
  • 11:13: Questions to ask yourself that will help define exactly what you want 

  • Listen and get ready to turn that FOMO into JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out)!
