Ditch leadership overwhelm and burnout with these 7 habits

Overwhelm and burnout

Whether you're a small business owner, startup founder, or entrepreneur...

I know you just want to deliver the utmost quality service to your clients, but you feel like you're stretched to your limit.

You're drowning in a sea of never-ending tasks, and there's just not enough time in the day to get everything done.

It feels like you're juggling a hundred different responsibilities, and you can't remember the last time you had a proper break.

You're running on fumes, constantly working late nights and weekends, and you can't remember the last time you took a vacation or spent quality time with your family.

This is just not the dream you signed up for.

I know that you just want to find a way to do what you love without the overwhelm and burnout.

Dozens of my clients have gone from being stressed, operating 90% on willpower, and not having enough time for themselves, their health, their relationships, or their family; to now leading with joy, fulfilment, inspiration, and contribution.

All because they focused on one of the most foundational aspects of their life and business: their habits.

Your daily routine can make or break your leadership success

To be a great role model, you need to reflect on how you lead and conduct your life, how you use your voice, and how you act.

The great news is that habits are not what you're born with. It's what you can develop to enhance your leadership success.

Great leaders have great habits, routines, and rituals that they follow each day so they can be an inspiration for their team.

As leadership becomes more people-focused than ever, the number one person you must focus on is yourself.

Upgrading your personal habits and leadership skills consistently will mean the advancement of your team as well.

The 7 habits of successful leaders

1. Gratitude

Gratitude assists in creating a more positive outlook. It makes a leader compassionate, considerate, empathetic, and loved among others. To express genuine gratitude is to build interpersonal bonds and create feelings of closeness with the people inside your organisation.?

2. Goals

Leaders' overwhelm and anxiety commonly stem from the lack of preparation. Dreams and aspirations turn into reality when we develop a plan with definite steps or goals. A leader who writes down realistic goals feels significantly more motivated and fulfiled when the goals are met.

3. Affirmation

There's value in giving yourself positive affirmations and patting yourself on the back. They upgrade your brain’s neurology, which you can use as a springboard to upgrading your reality. It doesn't happen overnight but by incorporating these daily affirmations into your routine, you'll change your outlook on life little by little.?

4. Generosity

Generosity in the workplace can be small actions that have a positive impact on those around you. When we give, our mind is filled with happiness and compassion. It doesn't have to only be financial. You can give by sharing knowledge, encouraging others, or inspiring others to improve.?

5. Celebrating Your wins

When achieving a goal, most people immediately move straight onto the next task. However, it helps to take a pause and acknowledge your wins no matter how small they are. This gives you a feeling of pride and happiness, making you want to go further towards your next achievement. Generally, people who celebrate their successes become more positive and confident.

6. Daily Improvements

Making big improvements starts with small positive changes made on a daily basis. When things don’t work out as planned, having this habit in place will change the way we think. We can view every failure as feedback to improve and upgrade our behaviour and results.

7. Get a coach

There are huge improvements in your leadership that you would not be able to make by yourself. This is why you need an invaluable resource that will support you in your leadership journey. Great leaders have coaches that help them make improvements in their life and business.
