Once you get that massive weight up, it’s going to come right back down on you.

Where are you not taking responsibility for your own choices and allowing others to choose for you?

Sometimes in business and life we need to take a step back and recover for a while, just like we do with vigorous exercise. To recover we don’t need to do a full stop and just sit around, we can instead do an active recovery, without actually stopping completely. Learn something new, exercise, do something with the family. Always be self aware enough to know when you need to slow down to not burn out or do damage.

Being dedicated to hustling is great as long as you have compassion for yourself and understand why you do what you do, otherwise it’ll just lead to burnout. The key is knowing why you are doing what you are doing and who you are doing it for. When you forget why you do what you do it’s very easy to slip into burnout mode. It’s not the work you put in that matters most, it’s what drives you.
