How do you prevent or already fight the burnout from work / business?
We know this situation exists, but not many people are openly talking about it.
Being in a highly competitive entrepreneurial environment is challenging on many levels... not only in terms of sales and business growth, but also legal responsibilities, administration, and often handling most things independently, all while managing family and personal stuff.
Even less attention is given to how this pressure is experienced by women, who are often expected to balance their careers with being present mothers, managing households, and meeting expectations that go far beyond professional life.
As a result, the emotional and mental load is becoming heavier.
How do you prevent or deal with burnout?
– Is it about seeking professional support, like a therapist or consultant? Or is it more about lifestyle changes, spending time with friends, stepping outside, and creating distance from work?
– What is the most effective way to actually solve this, in a sustainable way?

just finished reading Traction: How Any Startup Can Achieve Explosive Customer Growth by Gabriel Weinberg. He talks about doing a minimum 48 hour founder retreat. He was doing them every 6 months, no phones or work distractions, just being with your thoughts. Sounds like a great idea to help with the mental burn out, I will definitely be trying this. Hopefully often
