Chronic Fatigue: Feeling exhausted, depleted, and drained, even after getting enough rest of sleep.
Lost of motivation: Feeling disconnected, unenthusiastic, and hopeless about your work, despite previous passion and drive.

Seek support: Talk to friends, family, mentors, or a mental health professional to share emotions, gain perspective, and develop coping strategies.
Preventing Burnout

Remember, burnout is a signal that something needs to change. Listen to yourself and take proactice steps to maintain your well-being. As a founder or small business owner, you are one of the, if the THE, most important part to your company success. You NEED to be firing on all cylinders!

Building in Public - Running two startups during a busy week.
Despite a busy week with external commitments, I remained focused on the two startups I’m working on. Although I didn't achieve as much progress as I had hoped, I still took steps forward, although smaller than I would have liked. Two significant meetings took place, which kept momentum building for me!
Those meetings proved to be highly productive, providing clarity and direction for my ventures. I gained new insights, explored potential opportunities, and reaffirmed that the ideas I have are legit. While the week's limited dedicated time was frustrating, these meetings ensured I stayed on track and motivated to tackle the next challenges ahead.
The life of a founder isn’t easy, but finding successes, no matter how big or small, can keep you going through weeks like I had!
