Today’s guest is Jeremy Parker, co-founder of Swag.com, an online promotional products company that recently landed on the Inc. 500 lists for 2020 and 2021, as the fastest growing company in the promotional products category.

Here's some inspiration for my entrepreneurs. Swag.com did $365k in sales year one, $1.1M year two, $3.1M year three, $7M year four, $15.5M year five and is on track to do over $30M for 2021.

Jeremy shares how he's grown through the pandemic, his best advice for building the right team, and how going from a mindset of founder to CEO helped grow his business.

In this mini-sode, I talk about ways to get back on track if you have job burnout. Here's the list so that you can write it down and find what works best for you.

1. Evaluate your options. Re-prioritize and delegate tasks that can be done by others. 

2. Seek support. Seek the support of a coach or mentor.

3. Relax.  Be open to learning tools that can help with stress such as yoga, meditation and breathwork

4. Make your health a priority. Detox your diet, your body and your home. I mention that I recently joined a shopping club called Melaleuca Wellness to start buying cleaner personal care, home cleaning and cosmetic products to protect myself and the environment from toxins. (Note: I am a customer only. If you're interested in learning more contact Janice Powell Walker, [email protected] or 410-831-5565).

5. Get some exercise. Regular physical activity can help take your mind off work for a few moments and disrupt the momentum of burnout.

6. Get some sleep. Sleep restores well-being and helps protect your health.

7. Practice being Mindful. Take time to be in the present moment and return to the business of your day a little more refreshed.
