03: The 5 Boundaries I Set in My Business to Avoid Burnout

In this episode, we’re talking about:* How theme days create just enough structure in my business * Social media addiction and the negative side effects of consuming too much content online* Weekday engagement sessions vs. weekend sessions* How quickly you should send sneak peeks * Responding to emails in a timely manner without being glued to my phone What I want to leave you with:* Entrepreneurs treat burnout as a right of passage on the path to a successful business. But I disagree. * If the only way your business survives is by you burning out, what’s the point of working for yourself in the first place?! * You’re too busy to enjoy the flexibility of your own schedule * You’re too foggy to be present when you finally shut your laptop* Burnout does NOT equal success. * Define what success is to you, and create boundaries that support that!!
