Watch this if you’re feeling burnt out

Summary

• If you're feeling burnt out running your eight-figure business, remember that it's not a sign of mental illness or unhealthiness; it's likely because you're too hard on yourself and listening to negative voices, either internal or external.
• Don't take advice from people who have smaller dreams for you than your own; listen to those who share your ambition and can guide you towards common goals.
• Manipulation and help are differentiated by the intention behind them; communication often aims to change behavior, but it should be aligned with a common future.
• Reject the notion that "normal is good"; to achieve extraordinary results, you need to be extraordinary—embrace the traits that set you apart.
• Rapid success can be overwhelming; your feelings of distress don't necessarily reflect reality—improved external circumstances alone won't resolve internal stress.
• Stress management is a learned skill, not reliant on external conditions but on how you judge and label these conditions.
• Take a proactive approach to stress by identifying triggers, questioning the validity of your stressful thoughts, and realizing that fears often stem from irrational catastrophic thinking.
• Understand that performance will naturally vary; there are going to be good days and bad days, and it's statistically normal to have a bottom 10% of days without needing to change behavior.
• Practice separating feelings from actions; you needn't act in a stressed manner just because you feel stress, creating a "space" like a Yeti mug insulates the internal from the external can be helpful.
• Building a successful business requires changing your perception of reality and embracing traits like introspection, empathy, resilience, and confidence.
• Acknowledge insecurities and second-guessing as part of the process, and remain committed to actions aligned with long-term goals, even without immediate visible results.

How To Take Action

A good way of avoiding burnout in your business is first to stop being hard on yourself. Recognize your hard work and ignore negative thoughts. Don't let people with smaller dreams than your own influence you negatively. Surround yourself with those who aspire to great things like you do.

When you communicate, aim to help, not manipulate. Share common goals with others to get advice that is truly helpful and not just someone else's agenda. Reject the idea that 'normal is good'. If you want your business to stand out, you need to embrace being extraordinary.

Remember, success can bring stress but it doesn't mean your reality is bad. Managing stress is a learned skill. It's all about how you view external happenings, not the events themselves.

To deal with stress better, identify what triggers your stress. Question whether your stressful thoughts are actually true. Often, they're not as bad as you think. Accept that some days will be tough – it's statistically normal, so don't rush to change your behavior.

Practice separating your feelings from your actions. Feelings don't have to dictate what you do. Imagine creating a space around yourself where you can cool off, like how a Yeti mug keeps drinks cold or hot. This space will help you keep internal peace no matter what's happening outside.

Success also comes from introspection, empathy, resilience, and confidence. Acknowledge your insecurities and doubts but stay focused on your long-term goals. Commit to actions that lead to your objectives, even if you don't see results right away. Change your perception of reality to adapt to new challenges and your business will grow more than you realize.
