How Do You Get Un-Burned Out?

Being honest, this season has been a brutal one for my business. Lots of people problems, trying to make positive changes only to roll them back, tough jobs, etc etc. I listened to a couple podcasts that really rocked me:

Jobber - Stop Promoting Your Best Tech

Contractor Evolution - Why Contractors Hate Their Businesses

But I sort of realized that I've been operating in fight or flight for probably 3-6 months and I'm probably past the point of burning out. My ideas to find the joy in the business again are:

  • Pray about it
  • Make sure I'm exercising and drinking enough water (make sure the body is right)
  • Try to stack some small wins - finish that estimator I've been working on, hit a social media goal, etc.
  • Play with my dog more haha

Have any of you been there and were able to real it in?

    It is scientifically proven that dogs reduce stress in dog owners. Somethin deep in our brains are triggered when we look into their eyes and are lucky enough to have that connection. That is a place I start when I am at my limit.
