Brittany Berger: When Productivity Is Unhealthy


Listen Later

Brittany Berger is a content marketing consultant and the founder of WorkBrighter.co, a digital media company that helps productive unicorns go beyond working smarter to a version of productivity that makes room for “unproductive” things like rest, self-care, and fun.

She started Work Brighter after 5 years of running content marketing in high-stress startups that prioritized hustle, growth, and scaling over self-care and mental health. Now that she's changed her own mindset, she spends her time helping other high achievers define balance for themselves, advocating for mental health awareness, and dancing...always dancing.

This week on the Get Paid Podcast Brittany joins us to chat about why an obsession with productivity can be unhealthy, why you need to create less content, and why she’s planning on hiring a CEO as her business grows.

 

“We can create much less content and our audience wouldn’t even notice. We're still talking to them. We're still engaging with them. We're just re-using content instead of just pushing it out there and forgetting about it afterwards.” 

— BRITTANY BERGER

The Most Important Training for Course Creators 

 

If you're like me, you've heard the talk: “Evergreen funnels aren't effective. Only certain types of businesses can actually sell on autopilot”. But, that's not true at all. I’ve made $50,000 in revenue with Mariah Coz’s evergreen funnel strategies. 

Now, you can walk through her entire system in her free class: ‘How To Sell More Courses With An Evergreen Sales Funnel’.  It's kinda insane how detailed she gets in this training. Visit clairepells.com/ee to get it right now.
