I used to be immersed in hustle culture—where every month felt like an adrenaline-fueled sprint toward a new target. 🎯
In the beginning, it was thrilling. I felt energized, breaking through my own belief barriers about what I was capable of achieving in my business. Hustling in short bursts can be effective, especially when you're launching a new product or pushing to hit a new level. When there’s a clear finish line, the payoff feels great.
But what happens when the finish line keeps moving? When hustle becomes the norm instead of a season? When it keeps going and going with no end in sight?
This is where things get dangerous.
The truth is, we’re not machines. We can’t work at full speed indefinitely. We need time to rest, recover, and reset. When we don’t allow for that, burnout creeps in. You may have already noticed the signs:
Losing confidence in your decision-making
A dwindling passion for your work
Even physical symptoms that impact your well-being
I’ve seen too many business owners and leaders get caught in this cycle. Their endless hustle becomes unsustainable, and it chips away at the success they’ve worked so hard for.
Here’s something I’ve learned that has made a difference: Don’t do more today than you can recover from tomorrow. This principle applies to your week, your month, and sometimes even your year. It’s about balance. Yes, it’s possible to grow your business and pursue your goals without burning yourself out in the process.
What can you do to regain that balance?
Take a week off if you need it (yes, really).
Remove something from your plate that isn’t essential.
Tap into the natural energy flow of your day and adjust your schedule to work with it, not against it.
The good news is, even if things have gotten off track, you can course-correct. It just requires some intentional adjustments.
If this resonates with you, it’s time to take the first step toward getting your energy—and your business—back on track. I’m opening a few coaching spots for November when I return from Bali, and I’d love to help you create a more sustainable and successful path forward.
