#63 - Burn Out Is Your Own Fault

Burnout doesn’t usually arrive out of nowhere - it creeps in through overcommitment, blurred boundaries, and trying to run at full speed for too long.In this episode Bruce & Peter unpack the paradox of burnout: you can love what you do, feel driven and passionate, and still end up exhausted, cranky, and running on fumes. They break down the real warning signs (including the biggest one: personality change), why burnout can come from both struggle and success, and how to “sharpen the axe” so you stay effective instead of burning out.You’ll also get a practical framework to manage burnout before it manages you - recognising it early, setting workload boundaries and recovery rules, systemising your business (not just relying on resilience), and building sustainable habits that keep you performing long-term.If you’ve been feeling tired, reactive, or like you’re just pushing through… this episode is your reset.The Meaning Business Podcast is your go-to show for insights on buying, growing and selling businesses.Hosted by business advisors Bruce Coudrey and Peter Spinda, each episode explores real-world strategies, lessons and opportunities to help business owners and entrepreneurs succeed.If you’re thinking about buying, selling or growing a business, the team at Benchmark Business Sales & Advisory can help guide you through the process.🌐 Learn more:https://linktr.ee/meaningbusinesspodcasthttps://benchmarkbusinessadvisory.com.au/meaning-business-podcast/
