Small business owners and entrepreneurs are at high risk of burning out. Juggling a host of different roles and responsibilities, business owners are prone to pushing themselves too hard.
In her book Memoir of a Corporate Refugee: The Resilient Entrepreneur Handbook, Louise Francis provides an honest and personal account of how she has learnt to avoid overloading herself with work and personal commitments. Her story encourages readers to re-assess ways they are currently managing stress.
Listen to this herBusiness interview with Louise Francis to learn:
- How to manage fear
- How to identify physical and external burnout
- How to address the ’out-of-control-bus’ feeling.
Louise provides three tips to avoid burnout:
- Cut out white noise — anything that aggravates your mind
- Show up in the area— never lose the courage to have a go
- Be generous with your time, emotions and ideas.
Louise says focusing on the little things in life helps us avoid dark thoughts. She suggests taking the time to identify what you are grateful for is a vital first step in the right direction.
