How do you hustle without burning yourself out?
Welcome back to the She’s on Fire Podcast!
In this episode, I talk about how to hustle the right way… to avoid burnout! As women in business, we have a lot going on all the time. There’s no doubt about that. But how can you ensure you’re growing your business without encountering the doom and gloom of burnout?
Listen in to learn how to hustle in a healthy, balanced way by implementing simple, yet powerful time management strategies. You’ll gain insight into the importance of saying “no”, how to make every minute of your time count towards business growth, and the REAL key to avoiding burnout… unplugging from the digital world.
Key Takeaways:
- There’s a difference between hustling for progress and hustling for burnout.
- You have to make every minute count. I know it’s hard, but quit the mindless scrolling and meaningless distractions. Understand what tasks you need to do in order to reach your goals, then focus on those tasks and work in time blocks. Practice those time-management skills, ladies! Family and friends might get frustrated with how much time you’re spending on growing your business, but you have to have “the talk” with them… and don’t feel bad about it! It takes time to build a business.
- You need to love what you do to avoid burnout. Pick something that you want to do every day. It may not be easy and fun all the time, but the great days outweigh the hard days. If your heart’s in it, go after it.
- Unplug for at least 1 day per week. Put your phone on “focus” so no one can get through to you unless it’s an emergency. Concentrate on yourself, your friends, family, kids, pets, etc. Down time is necessary for a healthy, happy hustle!
- It’s okay to say “no” to people. The most successful entrepreneurs and business owners have the confidence to say “no” when they don’t want to or don’t have time to do something. As a woman in business, you have to make those hard decisions… what’s more important right now?

Quotes:
- “As soon as I had the money, as soon as I started having consistent months, I hired a VA who’s still with me today. But in the beginning, I couldn’t do that.”
- “You just need to have some strategies and processes in place so that way you can really concentrate on all the tasks you need to do.”
- “You don’t have to get a VA and have them there for 10 hours or 20 hours or 30 hours. You can start with two and that’s okay. We all start somewhere.”
