144: Burnout and Success: The Cycle of High Achieving Individuals

from Personalization Outbreak · host Glenn Llopis

"I think a lot of these high performers mistake endurance for strength. And they believe that if they just keep on going, I hear this all the time, "I just got to keep going. " There's restructuring, reorganization, and they just say, "I just need to keep pushing through." And that is endurance, but that's not strength."Burnout isn’t always caused by too much work.Sometimes it’s caused by becoming someone you were never meant to be.On this season of Personalization Outbreak Podcast, Glenn Llopis shares a thought - conviction isn't a given, it's earned.
