One of the most common side effects of being an entrepreneur is burnout. You’re involved in every decision, the bookkeeping, social media, and then it hits you. You’ve put too many hours into the business and stopped scheduling time for yourself.
Today’s guest, Marissa Roberts, knows exactly what that’s like. She left the corporate world when she had children to have more time freedom. She launched her first business, BeautifullyOrganised.com, and within 2 months was suffering from burnout.
