People generally go into business for themselves so that they can spend their time doing something they love. Unfortunately, more often than not they find themselves spending the bulk of their time consumed with the business of running a business.

Have a listen as we talk burnout, overwhelm, and presenteeism. For more info on the #workstyles movement follow Hoxby on Instagram (@hoxbycollective) and Twitter (@hoxbycollective).
