FBU 623: Handling (Inevitable) Business Burnout

There is an inevitable burnout that hits fitness business owners, especially as summer arrives and the January-through-June sales push winds down. After 16 years running JillFit, Jill is no stranger to burn out—creative emptiness, low motivation, and anxiety that the ideas won't return. It's a normal, and thankfully temporary part of building something demanding, rather than a sign of failure. If you're trying to fix your burn out, it's important to recognize the distinction between passive inputs like mindless scrolling or TV that drain energy despite feeling relaxing, and active inputs like reading fiction, journaling, connecting with friends, and exploring ideas outside your niche that genuinely refill creative reserves and spark new lateral connections. Lean into curiosity and new learning without pressure to immediately monetize it, trusting that motivation and direction will return once you're moving toward something again.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.
