Creative Courage

Are You Building The Wrong Business For Your Personality Type?


Listen Later

Most creatives see stress and burnout as a time-management problem.

Or a team problem.

So they hire more people. They implement new systems.

But nothing changes.

And if you find yourself burning out regularly, you’re probably looking in the wrong place for an answer.

Stress can completely break your creativity. And if you’re like me, you probably compare yourself to the Hormozis and Bartletts of the world, wondering why you can’t handle stress and pressure like they can.

But what I’ve come to understand is that not all personalities are built to handle stress in the same way.

Yet so many of us are modelling our lives and businesses on these serial entrepreneurs who are wired completely differently.

In this episode, we dive into why this is dangerous for your business, and how to build a business that works for you.

Covered in this episode:

  • Why stress shuts down creativity.
  • How different personalities process pressure and why it matters.
  • Why comparing yourself to other entrepreneurs is burning you out.
  • If you get value from this episode, follow Creative Courage on your favourite podcast app for more transformational content to help you thrive as a creative.
