Summary

#887 Hustle culture was wrong. Entrepreneurship is not about growth at all costs, and it's not about sacrificing your health for the sake of success. In fact, you'll never build a sustainable business if you're always running on fumes! In this episode, my good friend Chris Ducker returns to the show to share a powerful reminder on the dangers of burnout. Depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and adrenal failure, Chris has lived through it all. He is here to discuss the warning signs he ignored and the principles that brought him back to health. We tackle the dos and don'ts of running a business that won't burn you out. Based on Chris's new book, The Long Haul Leader, this deep session is all about slowing down to achieve more and build a legacy. From business relationships to self-care and hobbies, listen in for a perspective on lasting success! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session887.
