Feeling stuck and unmotivated in your business can be incredibly frustrating and overwhelming. You may have tried everything from reading self-help books to repeating affirmations daily, and yet nothing seems to work. Your frustration is not unjustified nor is it all in your head. You are likely experiencing a form of burnout common among entrepreneurs. Even the best of business owners struggle with burnout.

Understanding Business Burnout

Think of business burnout the way you would think of Tennis Elbow or Writer’s Cramp. It is an occupational hazard that almost comes with the territory of the space you have chosen to occupy. 

You might find yourself in a state of chronic physical and emotional exhaustion caused by prolonged stress and that will often lead to feeling unmotivated, disenchanted and disconnected from your business; not to mention the fatigue, insomnia, and anxiety.

Like Tennis Elbow and Writer’s Cramp though, Entrepreneurial Burnout CAN be treated and healed if you know what to do and that happens to be our specialty.

The Mind-Body Approach

We take a unique approach to coaching entrepreneurs experiencing burnout. Burnout is not just a problem of the mind, but also a problem of the body and while many specialists focus on changing mindsets, we have found that the longest lasting solutions COMBINE mindset training with body work. That is why we use a MIND-BODY approach to coaching you through your sticking point.

When entrepreneurs reconnect with their bodies and emotions and are able to listen to their body’s signals and understand the underlying causes of their burnout, their healing comes from uprooting ROOT causes instead of merely treating symptoms.

The Benefits of a Mind-Body Approach

Clarify your VISION. The Mind-Body approach starts by helping you reestablish your vision, passion and purpose. When you’re stuck in the cycle of burnout, it can be difficult to see the bigger picture and remember what you truly want to achieve. Our approach helps you reconnect with your dreams, aspirations, values, uniqueness and strengths. We use all these to guide you in creating a clearer vision. Once you have revived your vision, you are then ready to connect that vision to your very being. What does it look like for YOUR body to live that VISION?

Find your unique VOICE. There is no question that there is no one like you in the whole world. The way you move, the way you think, the way you speak, the way you laugh, is all powerfully and uniquely YOU. But when you’re stuck in burnout, it’s easy to lose sight of what sets you apart from your competition and your business stops reflecting how unmatched you are. The Mind-Body approach is designed to help you tap into and physically express your unique talents and lived experiences that allow you to communicate your business message effortlessly and authentically. 

Establish your VIBE. Whether you know it or not, your presence exudes a vibe; a culture unique to you. That vibe either draws or repels people. Your personal vibe cannot be separated from your business vibe and so it is essential that you recognise what it is and how to change it if you need to. The Mind-Body approach to healing Entrepreneurial Burnout takes you through exercises to discover your current vibe and whether it fits with your vision and your voice. The right vibe will improve your productivity, efficiency, effectiveness and grow your revenue.

Determine your VISUALS. Through the Mind-Body approach to dealing with burnout, you will learn how to create a visual identity that fits with how you want yourself and your business to be seen, heard and received. 

This will not only help you increase your revenue but also see you make a greater impact in the world by serving clients who align with your self-perception and values.

The Ultimate Goal of the Mind-Body Approach

The entrepreneur that successfully addresses and heals from Business Burnout is going to:

• Have renewed energy to tackle their business goals
