The Cycle of Despair - Boundaries, Overwhelm & Burnout
EPISODE 16 | APRIL 03 2024
Ever felt stuck in a repeating pattern of overwhelm in your business? We’ve named this the 'Cycle of Despair,' from our own personal experience of managing boundaries and stress as we navigate business owner life.
Characterised by a lack of enthusiasm and increased procrastination (doom scrolling anyone?!), this often stems from an overwhelming number of undesirable tasks and saying ‘yes’ to activities that no longer align.
If you’ve ever found yourself spinning in this cycle, this episode will give you helpful advice on how to move from despair to delight in your business again. Go from people-pleasing to focusing on long-term goals so you can regain confidence and fall back in love with your work.
You will learn about:
- The key factors that contribute to the cycle of despair
- Why it’s important to set aside time to think about the direction you want for your business
- How to create clear boundaries that align with your vision
- The value of external accountability and “bigger picture” thinking
- Why you should prioritise activities that yield the most results & examples of these
- Practical solutions for simplifying business processes & escaping the cycle of despair
