Summary
No matter how passionate you are about what you do, there will always be a time where you feel like you've hit a wall and need a break. The BIG reason I've seen others experience burnout including myself, is often times because we get busy looking at what others are doing and we lose our OWN True North!
LESSONS:
- Don't waste time watching what others do
- Focus on YOUR passion, not what others are passionate about
- Reconnect with your True North on the regular. Ask yourself WHY you started doing what you're doing in the first place
- Focus on your Unique Ability as Dan Sullivan from Strategic Coach calls it. Your Unique Ability is your passion and will keep you fired up for the long term!

| 0:00.0 | The real reason we get burnt out is we start to get away and get disconnected from our true north. |
| 0:07.0 | Spartans, what's up? Zach Evernish here with the Spartan Way podcast coming to you from headquarters in Boston. |
| 0:17.0 | And today what I want to talk to you about is the real reason we get burnt out is we start |
| 0:21.6 | to get away and get disconnected from our true north. |
| 0:25.0 | For example, in the fitness industry I've worked with a lot of strength coaches. |
| 0:30.0 | They get into running their own gym and they want to just train athletes or they want to just train a certain type of person and then they start looking at what other people are doing and then they think maybe I should take that path and they start feeling burnt out the emotional stress |
| 0:45.0 | is getting too much for me and what's happened there is they've gotten away and |
| 0:50.5 | they've gotten disconnected from their true north from their deep rooted |
| 0:54.1 | why you've gotten away from the things that inspire you so if you're feeling |
| 0:58.6 | burnt out oftentimes it's not time to back off or back down. |
| 1:03.8 | It's time to reconnect with that deep rooted Y |
| 1:06.6 | and then go 100% all in. |
| 1:09.6 | So in today's action, write down an area |
| 1:12.1 | that you really want to improve upon and why you want |
| 1:14.8 | to improve upon it. |
| 1:16.5 | Find the missing link, get reconnected with that deep-rooted Y, and then go 100% all in. So you might think I'm burnt out I have to quit. Now you've |
| 1:26.5 | gotten disconnected from why you're doing what you're doing. Go all in, stay the |
| 1:31.6 | course, stay on the path, complete the mission, and just make it happen. |
