How can motivational speakers avoid burnout and achieve their goals?

Purpose! The full the guilds you, remember motivation comes from within !! Deep in your soul, excites you, gets you up early and stay up late working on your best you!

Motivational Speakers are just as human as the rest of us and believe it or not, also suffer from burnout, if not motivated properly, either motivating themselves or being motivated by others. My top 3 picks for avoiding burnout are:- 1. You yourself need to be constantly motivated before you go out there and motivate a room full of people. How can you spread something that you don't have yourself, to begin with. 2. Practice what you preach. If you are going to motivate a room full of people and you have no real life examples to share then you may need to question why you are motivating people in the first place. 3. Don't use ChatGPT for everything. Motivating people is a very humanized project that even AI cannot compete with.

Pro Tip: Revisit your purpose often. When I first started speaking publicly, I was in high school and I was most known for sharing my story about surviving attempted murder. Over the years, I transitioned to speaking about my journey with chronic illness and overcoming battles with my health. Eventually, that changed to speaking about breaking generational styles and overcoming adversities. Now I can weave all of that into my story while inspiring others to break free of the labels that have been placed on them, figuring out how to pursue their purpose, and setting them up for success. My mission changed and in turn my message, niche, and target audience did too and that’s ok. Don’t feel restricted based on where you started out.

I truly believe that when you build your business around your purpose and who you know you are created to be then it’s not work. Building a business around who you are and what you’re called to do means you’re simply showing up as who you are organically and because you love it! This in my opinion helps with burn out in one aspect because you enjoy it rather than see it as a job which always you to give it effortlessly.

This is paramount. As a speaker, purpose has defined not only who I am, but every aspect of the work I'm involved in. Knowing why I want to create an impact, specifically, helps me find my audience, clarify my message, and create the best content I can. And it can do the same for you too.

Pro Tip: Reread this section! ? Protect your energy. ? Give yourself plenty of time to prepare, promote, and present. ? Set boundaries. ? Say yes to what feels good and aligned, not just what feels good in the moment. Bonus Tip: Do your research! As someone that spoke on a podcast with that later got canceled, make sure you want to be linked to specific opportunities long term.

As a motivational speaker, mom, business owner, wife and minister I can tell you that time management is HUGE. The best way to start with healthy time management is communication. If you know you have events coming up ensuring that you communicate with your loved ones that schedule and where they fit in it. Also scheduling your non negotiable days and times of the year where you won’t be traveling or taking engagements as that time is set aside for family. Lastly make selfcare a lifestyle not SOS. Many people have treated selfcare like an emergency drug rather than making it apart of who they are and their life routine.

Desde prepararte física y mentalmente, gestionando tu tiempo para el descanso y la preparación que debes tener para tu oratoria.

I practice self care a lot. I think because I am a medical doctor in the making, I take notice of everything happening in my body, I know when something is lacking in my diet and I fix it immediately. I know when I have given so much and need to withdraw so I can boost up my energy again.

I believe self care is different to everyone. My self care is publicly reminding myself of my achievements. That doesn't mean gloating about new cars, houses or holidays. It means any barriers that I had in my way announcing that I've knocked them down, how I did it and look at me after etc. Just to prove to people alike that they can do it too.
