Why Hustle Culture is Toxic and What to Do About It

Over the last few months I've been doing more and more research into what it takes to become truly future-proof, as an entrepreneur.

I've discovered some pretty scary stats in the process.

For example, 46% of entrepreneurs experience high stress regularly. On top of that, 27% said they felt lonely in their pursuits on a 'more than usual' basis. But, this is the biggie…

According to a Hubspot report, 63% of entrepreneurs admitted to burning out.

If you know anything about my story, you know I've burnout out, too. But, nowadays I'm committed to make sure it doesn't happen again and taking a very serious view when it comes to my overall health and wellness.

Sleep, grounding, blue light blockers, supplementation, real exercise, oxygen therapy, mindfulness, diet and nutrition, red light therapy… you name it - I'm all in on learning and experiencing / testing it all out as much as possible.

Why? Because if I don't optimize ME… how can I optimize my business, and the impact that it has in the world..?!!

All of this falls under one section of a brand new 4-step framework I've been working on, as we start to plan the content and day by day schedule for our upcoming live event, the Long-Haul Leader Summit.

We announced the event on Monday to our wider audience and tickets have been getting snapped up left and right ever since!!!

WHY THE CHANGE OF DIRECTION, CHRIS?

When I became active online in 2008, I was all about delegation, virtual assistants and building teams of remote workers (way before the pandemic, huh?!).

Then, in 2015 the doors to the concept of becoming a Youpreneur (an expert that truly monetizes their experience the right way!) swung open… and now, as I hit my 50's, start writing my third book and enjoy an exit from one of my businesses… my mindset, focus and overall drive is shifting again.

It's Chris 3.0 time :-)

Another big thing I've realised is that working harder, is almost always not smarter.

Instead, my focus (and quite frankly, it should be yours, too!) going forward is going to be all about doing LIFE properly, not just business so that we can have more impact on our loved ones, as well as our clients.

It's about making sure that the work we do has a genuine impact while we focus on the personal mastery that drives us as business owners.

If you've become equally as tired of the hustle culture that seems to be plaguing our society, then our upcoming event will be perfect for you.

And quite frankly, I truly believe it's 100% needed to break from that toxic mentality, and to open the doors to a brand new approach to business AND life.

Now… onto this weeks content…

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT TO HELP YOU

I believe that the work-life balance concept we've been sold... is a lie.

And here's why.

As entrepreneurs, it's impossible to completely switch off from our businesses. Our 'work' will also overlap into our personal lives, whether we do it intentionally or not. Over the past few years, I've redefined what work-life balance is by integrating all aspects of my life into an operating system that seamlessly works together.

The REAL Truth About Work-Life Balance and How to Manage It!

In this week's LinkedIn Live, we explore the myths and realities of achieving harmony between professional demands and personal well-being. I share my practical strategies for setting boundaries, prioritizing tasks, and nurturing your mental and physical health.

Whether you're struggling to find balance or simply looking to refine your approach, this discussion will provide valuable insights and actionable tips to help you thrive both at work and in life!
