According to a survey we did, a whopping 91% of you (i.e. pet business owners) have experienced or are currently experiencing burnout in your pet business. I bet, especially if you’re reading this, that you’re among that 91%. And before we continue, I don’t want you to feel shameful or embarrassed by this. We’ve ALL been there. I’d argue everyone has experienced burnout at some point in their lives. I’ve been there PLENTY of times.
The good news is… there’s a lot you can do about it!
Because, you built your pet business to do what you're passionate about—to be your own boss and to feel free in your life. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle… working yourself to the ground, losing motivation and passion, and then begin falling down the spiral that is burnout. Burnout can manifest itself in all sorts of ways - from emotional and mental symptoms all the way to chronic physical ailments and conditions.
The big question: How do you get rid of pet business burnout?
Let me disclose something right up front: It takes conscious work to tackle burnout to the ground!
Because you can't just say you have burnout or read about burnout and expect a change. You have to put in the work. Otherwise, why would you keep doing the same things and expect a different result? (Pretty sure Albert Einstein considered that the definition of insanity!). So let’s get to the solutions here.
The crucial steps to tackling burnout:
Understand the science behind burnout and evaluate your triggers
Implement proper boundaries
Learn to say no
Learn productivity skills
Understand your finances so you can make sustainable decisions
Establish systems of self-care in your daily life
By learning the above steps, you’ll be able to focus on the things that matter, optimize systems, grow your pet business with ease, and, most of all… have time for WHATEVER it is you want to do. Whether you want more time with loved ones, more vacation time, or just a breath of peace during your day, removing burnout can grant you that freedom.
