73: What To Do When You Hate Your Business
Manage episode 394734964 series 3308285
I hated my business in 2022.
You may have had a similar feeling, but haven’t felt comfortable saying it. So let me tell you a story…
When I started my business in 2017, I wanted time and freedom. That was my number one goal.
What happened? My business SCALED AND BLEW UP FAST in 2020 & 2021 (yes, during the pandemic). That goal of “time and freedom” turned into just doing the most:
- Bi-weekly events
- Going on Facebook and IG live every day
- AND having meals with my phone and laptop
And, of course, after 2 years of doing all the things, I burned out. I was SO burned out that I would cry randomly throughout the day.
I’m not here to call you out, I’m here to call you into yourself so you can stop using the addiction of working all the time to acknowledge and start taking steps to create a more aligned LIFE.
To put your life first and figure out how to realign your business around it.
