221. Actually, It's NOT Burnout… Uncovering the Truth About Being Busy

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I dive into the topic of burnout among entrepreneurs. I bet you have felt it or thought it before, but its not actually burnout. I challenge the common belief that burnout is simply a result of being too busy or not taking enough self-care. Instead, I propose that burnout often stems from a misalignment between where we focus our energy and our innate gifts and passions. So if it is not burnout, what is it? Misaligned focus. It is that simple. I talk about how spending time outside of our "sweet spot" can leave us feeling overwhelmed and drained, no matter how busy we might be. I share some personal stories and encourage you, my listeners, to think about how much of your time is spent playing to your strengths. Questions to Reflect On: What’s on my plate? And why am I doing these things?What feels heavy right now? How can I delegate, delete, or defer these things off my plate?Episode Outline: Symptoms of Burnout (00:03:12)The Root Cause of Burnout (00:09:21)Transformation Through Auditing Your Energy Leaks (00:15:20) Empowering Questions (00:27:55) Visionary Leader's Schedule (00:32:21) Focus and High Leverage Moves (00:36:12) Resources from this episode:The Focused Entrepreneur The Incubator: A Mastermind For Visionaries & Their Right HandEpisode 60: Leave Burnout BehindShow notes: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/episode221Connect with me:Website: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/If there's a topic, a question or a guest you want to hear on the show or an idea you have for us, just reach out and share that at marketing@luminaryleadershipco.com.
