Owner Burnout: When Your Business Takes More Than It Gives

“I’ll take a vacation when things slow down.” “I’ll get to the gym once I hire help.” If those lines live rent-free in your head, they’re not plans. They’re red flags that your business is taking more than it gives. And they’re a fast track to business owner burnout.

My good friend Tammy McKinney is back to dig into why so many smart, experienced women start businesses for freedom and end up with less of it. Tammy is an leadership and business strategist and the founder of Unlocking Your Best Life. For more than 30 years, she’s helped leaders in business, education, churches, and nonprofits lead from their best selves, without burning out to get there.

We talk about how to tell a demanding season from a business that’s built wrong, why we’re so much harder on ourselves than we’d ever be on a client, and Tammy’s LEAP framework for closing the gaps that keep you stuck.

If you’re running on fumes and calling it “just a phase,” hit play. Then send it to a friend who needs a permission slip to take a break too.
