Unable To Function
Burnout is an absolute killer.
Between 2013 - 2018 I burnt myself into the ground so much I thought i was going to stroke out.
There were 2 occasions between these years that I was that fooked I couldn't even get out of bed.
So where did it go wrong?
In all honesty I sucked into the grind.
I watched people on social media telling you that you had to be obsessed, you had to do the work.
But I didn't really know what that meant, so when I thought i was putting the work in I what I was actually doing was slowly bubbling up to stroking out.
I was so wired and stressed.
I had no concept of any structure, no consistent time management, no real mission or vision.
I'd just wake up and grind it out.
On top of the personal strain, there were ripple effects I was blind to.
I wasn't fully present for my other half, I wasn't in the room for my kids, I was taking care of myself.
Here's how I got out of it.
1) My partner helped me understand how I was operating [I WOKE UP]

2) I stepped back for a month and looked at how I was operating. I was reviewing/assessing what I was doing wrong.
3) I made the decision that the vehicle I was in no longer served me? ? ? ? ? ?
Here's what I did about it.
1)? I created a morning routine that set me up to win
2) I got a personal phone to manage the distractions when it was family time?
3) I built a structure that built my career around my life, NOT my life around the career
4) I created non-negotiable around health, family and personal development?
5) I created a life and business mission that allowed me to look at the bigger picture and have outcomes to work towards.
The grind is hard, BUT the consequences of burnout are 10x harder.?
