Summary
We are back to wrap up our Break up with Burnout series and I have THE perfect guest joining me today. Tanya Dalton is not only a best selling author, she has a brand new book coming out that we talk about in this episode, she's a speaker and also a productivity expert. But I love the topic of her latest book On Purpose: The Busy Woman's Guide to an Extraordinary Life of Meaning and Success. This book really challenges a lot of the expectations and misconceptions of what a successful life even really looks like. This ties in so well to our burnout series because we talk about why it's a myth to be multi-passionate and how a lot of times that leads to our own burnout. We talk about how goals really should look within the context of our business and it's not the big overarching goals that inevitably lead to success but the small wins. This episode is so full of value to not only break up with burnout but prevent it all together. You'll want to listen all the way to the end because we have a special surprise for you that may include winning a copy of Tanya's new book!

She is also a featured expert on several networks including NBC and Fox and is a VIP contributor for Entrepreneur.com.
