As a business owner, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of running your business. We often find ourselves working long hours, sacrificing personal time and neglecting our own well-being in pursuit of success. Right? While dedication is admirable, it's crucial to remember that burning out can have serious consequences, not just for your health but also for the health of your business in the long term ☝️. Pushing yourself too hard without taking breaks or addressing your needs can lead to exhaustion, stress, and burnout. This affects your physical and mental health and your ability to make sound decisions and perform effectively in your roles as business leaders. So, prioritising your well-being isn't just about avoiding burnout. It's also about fostering a positive work culture and setting an example for your team. When employees see that their leaders value self-care and work-life balance, they're more likely to feel supported and motivated. Finding a balance between work and personal life isn't always easy, but it's a necessary investment in yourself and your company's future. No matter how you do it, commit to prioritising your well-being starting today. Your health and your business will thank you for it 🤝!! #BalanceIsKey #WellnessAtWork #PrioritizeSelfCare #HealthyBusiness #WorkLifeHarmony #LeadershipWellness #MindfulEntrepreneurship #SelfCareForSuccess #BusinessWellbeing #WorkLifeIntegration #HealthyLeadership #SustainableSuccess

Prioritizing Wellness Sharing some insights that resonated with me from a recent Fast Company article on CEO burnout and work-life balance. As an entrepreneur, navigating the complexities of running a business can be overwhelming. The recent surge in CEO turnover and the sobering statistic of CEOs dying on the job serve as a stark reminder of the importance of prioritizing work-life balance. It's crucial to adopt disciplined routines and habits to avoid burnout. Taking cues from successful leaders like Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan, who incorporates meditation into his daily routine, and Beautycounter founder Gregg Renfrew, who prioritizes family time, can inspire us to carve out moments for self-care amidst the hustle. Learning to say "no" to unnecessary commitments and engaging in radical self-inquiry, as advocated by CEO coach Jerry Colonna , are essential steps in preserving our well-being. By sharing insights and strategies for maintaining balance, we can support each other in navigating the demands of entrepreneurship while nurturing our mental and physical health. Let's prioritize self-care to sustainably lead our ventures to success. #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurlife #ceoinsights #estilocus

How I Transformed Burnout Into Balance—And Why It Matters for My Team Here's a picture of me five years ago, on a buying trip in Vancouver for my business. To anyone looking at it, I probably seemed fine. But the truth? I was barely surviving, not thriving. I was drowning—caught in the throes of a health crisis, managing the demands of running a business, and raising two young children. The late nights, relentless pace, and the constant pressure to push forward took a toll—not just on my productivity, but on my entire well-being. Back then, I thought "more" was always the answer. But that path only led to burnout, exhaustion, and the realization that something had to change. Experience taught me one invaluable lesson: balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. That shift didn’t happen overnight, but it transformed not just my life but how we shape our culture at Insurely Inc. Today, we focus on helping our team live and work in a way that fuels them, not drains them. It’s about creating a culture that respects boundaries, embraces breaks, and supports mental and physical health as essential to success. As leaders, we have the responsibility to redefine "hard work"—not as relentless hustle but as meaningful, impactful effort balanced with rest and personal growth. Because when we thrive, our teams do too—and that’s a kind of balance worth investing in. Have you experienced that shift from burnout to balance? What practices help you and your team stay grounded? #BurnoutToBalance #Leadership #CompanyCulture #Entrepreneurship #CultureQueen

Have you ever wondered what a weekend away from the office could do for clarity and energy levels? I found out firsthand. I discovered the transformative power of a single weekend in nature for a busy entrepreneur. At the time, I was working long hours, including weekends, feeling the weight of entrepreneurship on growth and success. A close friend's invite to a cottage weekend offered a rare break from the relentless work schedule. I experienced three days of disconnection from work and reconnection with nature, family, and friends. I noticed a remarkable contrast in mental clarity and energy levels, realizing the previously unnoticed mental clutter and fatigue. The experience underscored the importance of taking deliberate breaks for mental and physical rejuvenation. What I learned... The weekend at the cottage was a reminder of how continuous work without breaks can cloud judgment and drain energy. It reinforced the lesson that to lead effectively and keep our companies growing, we must also prioritize time to disconnect, refresh, and regain clarity. How do you balance the demands of work with the need for personal rejuvenation? #leadership

👉 Tuesday's Inspirational Thought for Your Day 👈 “When building your business, be sure to build a culture that won’t lead to burnout. No level of success can make up for depression caused by a toxic work environment!” Useful tips that will help you! 1.) A healthy company culture is essential for sustainable success; when entrepreneurs prioritize well-being over relentless pressure, they empower teams to perform at their best without risking burnout. 2.) Building a positive work environment not only prevents mental and emotional strain but also enhances productivity and creativity, as employees feel valued and motivated rather than drained and depleted. 3.) True success comes from creating a workplace where people thrive, as a supportive culture attracts top talent, reduces turnover, and fuels long-term growth far beyond what a high-stress environment could achieve.

#wellbeing #culture #pause #burnout #busy vs #productivity Entrepreneurship is lonely but it does have to be alone ! #toolbox #plan Problem/Opportunity Statement: Many entrepreneurs and professionals struggle with maintaining a healthy work-life balance, often succumbing to the pressure of constant productivity and comparison with peers. This can lead to burnout, decreased performance, and missed opportunities for sustainable growth. There's a need to cultivate a mindset that values rest, recovery, and long-term success over short-term gains and external pressures. Caroline and Martin welcomed a group of entrepreneurs and business coaches. Opening the GrowthWheel Operating System, Caroline said, "Let's create a strategy to help business leaders achieve sustainable success by balancing growth with necessary rest and recovery." Martin navigated to GrowthWheel's Business Advisory tools, focusing on the Personal Development and Sustainable Growth modules. "We'll craft an approach that integrates rest and recovery into the business growth process," he explained. They used GrowthWheel to map out a strategy: 1. Burnout Risk Assessment: Developing a tool to identify signs of overwork and potential burnout 2. Rest and Recovery Planner: Creating a framework for integrating strategic breaks into business schedules 3. Long-term Vision Aligner: Implementing a system to keep focus on long-term goals during periods of rest 4. Peer Pressure Neutralizer: Designing techniques to overcome the urge to compare progress with others 5. Productivity-Wellness Balance Tracker: Establishing metrics to measure the impact of rest on overall business performance As they worked, GrowthWheel's analytics revealed patterns of successful entrepreneurs who prioritized well-being alongside business growth. Together, they crafted a GrowthPlan that included: - A "Sustainable Success" program integrating GrowthWheel tools with wellness practices - Strategies for reframing rest as a crucial component of long-term business success - A framework for identifying when to push forward and when to step back for recovery This session demonstrated how GrowthWheel could be adapted to address the challenge of balancing ambition with well-being. By providing a structured approach to integrating rest and recovery into business strategy, GrowthWheel could help entrepreneurs achieve more sustainable, long-term success. As they concluded, Caroline emphasized, "With GrowthWheel, we're not just building businesses – we're nurturing entrepreneurs who can thrive in the long run. Remember, if an opportunity is truly meant for you, it will still be there when you return from a well-deserved break."

Today marks exactly 9 years since I left the corporate world. Although I started my first business, PhysEQFiT Wellness in April 2015 when I resigned, I still stayed on for 6 months to lead the group through financial year-end. Was I scared to leave my comfort zone? No ❌️ I was beyond 'gatvol' of the long hours, internal politics, backstabbing, people having their own agendas and leaders turning their backs on their people. Please note, I don't say all corporate environments are like this; this was just my experience at the time. ❌️ My health and emotional wellbeing were taking serious strain and it probably took 2 years to fully recover. ❌️ I worked 24/7 and having a special person in my life was just not possible. The absolute best thing about entrepreneurship? Freedom!! ❤️ Freedom to choose when and how much I work ❤️ Freedom to run and gym every day ❤️ Freedom to explore, live my best life and live my purpose I am forever grateful that I made a choice to prioritise my health and emotional wellbeing above my beautiful corner glass office. I am equally grateful that for the past 9 years our company is helping people not having a similar experience and impact that I had by: ✅️ coaching and mentoring people to live balanced lifestyles where they prioritise their healthy, happiness and financial fitness. ✅️ developing leaders to become extraordinary leaders understanding the importance of creating a healthy and happy environment for people to flourish. ✅️ coaching people to discover their full potential, build resilience and become high-performers while managing their stress levels and prevent burnout. ✅️ coaching people who need the courage to walk away from a toxic environment whatever that might be for them. ✅️ empowering and educating aspiring and start-up entrepreneurs. Cheers to 9 years of choosing Me! 🥂 #entrepreneur #employeewellness #stressmanagement #preventburnout #resilience #highperformance #worklifebalance #healthylifestyle #leadership

Let me guess: You believe that more working hours means more output so you constantly overwork (which, over time, leads to a decreased efficiency). You look at stress as an inevitable part of the job, so you miss out on neuroscience strategies to turn stress into a performance enhancer. Without tools to boost cognitive flexibility and resilience, your decision-making and creativity seem to be suffering. If you recognise yourself in it, you’re definitely not alone. As someone who spent the majority of my career in tech startups and scale-ups, I saw myself and my colleagues doing exactly that. That’s why I offer a unique approach to peak performance and wellbeing grounded in the latest neuroscience research. My coaching programs are designed to help executives achieve sustainable productivity without sacrificing their health and happiness. Might seem like mission impossible, but by implementing neuroscience-backed strategies, you can learn to optimise work patterns, manage stress, and enhance your and your team’s wellbeing. Want to know more, let’s connect. I’d love to support you, your team, and your overall organisation to harness peak performance without burnout. #executivecoaching #burnout #coaching https://lnkd.in/dJnwVtuc
