RS345 - Burnout for Solopreneurs: When passion becomes pressure

Do you adore your work but lately find it draining rather than energising? In this episode, Anna Lundberg explores the hidden pitfalls of passion-driven businesses - how loving what you do can still lead to burnout, and practical steps to reclaim balance and sustainability. Tune in for a refreshing perspective and actionable advice designed to help you protect your wellbeing while delivering your best work.

Key Takeaways

• Loving Your Work Doesn’t Make You Immune to Burnout:
  Passion is powerful, but over-delivering and poor boundaries can lead to exhaustion - even when you deeply care about your business and clients.

• Boundaries Are Essential for Sustainable Success:
  Building boundaries into your business model and daily routines is vital to prevent draining your energy and sacrificing your personal life.

• Revisit Your Pricing and Offers:
  Ensure your fees reflect both the emotional and energetic load of your services. Let go of profitable offerings if they consistently leave you depleted.

• Intensity Isn’t Sustainable:
  While occasional busy periods are normal, constant overworking should not be the status quo. Design your business to support your capacity and lifestyle as it is now.

• Sustainable Growth Is Possible (and Necessary):
  You don’t have to choose between ambition and wellbeing. Success can - and should -come without sacrifice, with systems that allow you to thrive long-term.
