Burnout is one of the most common struggles for boutique owners, retailers, and small business owners—and it's rarely caused by laziness or lack of passion. More often, it comes from trying to do too much, growing too fast, and drifting away from the very reason you started your business in the first place. In this episode, Sara Burks breaks down why burnout happens, how over expansion drains your energy, and why "more" isn't always better.
