Are you in a rut and starting to wonder why you started your business in the first place? You might have “entrepreneurial burnout" according to an article in Entrepreur.com.

“The reality is also that entrepreneurship is an intense endeavor, and it’s hard to separate the self from the business. Sooner rather than later, and because of the rollercoaster nature of entrepreneurship, business setbacks start happening (a lot!), and some entrepreneurs can’t help but take them as personal setbacks, especially when they get so invested in their business. Depression follows, and so does burnout.”

So now you know that this type of burnout is a real thing let’s start focusing on how to fall back in love with your business again:

  1. Take Time Off - It is important to designate time to take a breather from work. It can be a challenge if you are like most entrepreneurs who are type A but the consequences of not taking regularly scheduled breaks in your workweek to reflect and rest can start to hinder you and your business. The article also states, “ When we spend more time with ourselves (not working), we are able to have better mental clarity, more abundant creativity, and improved ability for sound business decisions.”

  2. Get Social - If you have been glued to your computer and nothing else then going to a lunch or breakfast networking session could prove to be beneficial. It will give you real face to face time to be in a community of other entrepreneurs who are excited to be in business and this could help to reignite the passion you once felt for your own business.

  3. Go back to your “Why” - Simon Sinek’s book and Ted talk on “Start With Your Why” is something that is worth listening to on audible or watching the Ted Talk. He really does inspire you to remember why you started your business in the first place and to take action.

  4. Go learn - There is nothing more invigorating and fun than going to a conference that includes your peers and those leaders that you aspire to become. There is no shortage of conferences to attend in your industry and it makes a great write off according to my tax professional. Check out this one called Entreleadership to get you energized.

    There you have it! Four ways to fall back in love with your business again. The life of an entrepreneur can be a rollercoaster ride like no other but it is worth it. Get your fire back and try some of these ideas.
