Back-to-back Zoom or Teams meetings. No boundaries between your home office and your home. Heightened stress due to uncertainty or overwhelm. It’s no wonder that I’ve encountered so many entrepreneurs who confess… “I’m exhausted.” “I’m tired.” “I just need a minute.” “When will this be over?” “I need a break.” “I’m spent.” Burnout is a
It’s no secret that COVID-19 has impacted businesses all over the world. I talk to at least 5 business owners a day that have either had to put their business on hold, are overwhelmed with growth, or are somewhere in between. If you’re one of the companies in limbo, this blog is for YOU. Downtime

This year (2019), I received a staggering 238 emails about Black Friday and Cyber Monday alone.
