Today we're going to talk about burnout. And this is such an important topic for so many people out there who are busy doing lots of different stuff. And you start a side hustle, which you're really excited about. It begins as a joy project. It is something you are passionate about.

You love it. And maybe it actually takes off. Like it becomes successful. But then success can morph joy into

drudgery. And this is just all too common. Like you love what you do and you do it more. But then all of a

sudden there are these obligations associated with it. So you might be tired or

you might need a bigger break. We're going to hear from a caller today. She has calligraphy boards,

hand-lettered wedding signage specifically. These boards become a hit. And then she becomes super

busy. So now she's exhausted. So does she just need to take that break or does she need to reinvent the whole business? Let's kind of consider a diagnostic, like how might you actually solve this for yourself? And I think if you're starting a new side hustle, this is something to think about from the outset. How can I keep doing what I enjoy so that I don't become burned out? Or if I am tired, like what do I do? How do I evaluate it and determine what are

the next steps, the best next steps, let's say. The caller's name is Adrian. We're going to hear from her

and my response right after this quick shout out to our sponsor. Whenever I buy something online,

I probably do the same thing that you do. And if you think about it, like there might be some different

steps you take when you're doing research and such. Maybe you go to different websites by default.
