#98. I wanted to burn my business down to the ground.. here’s what I did instead

The beginning of 2021 has been challenging for me for several reasons. Still, it was also one of the pivotal moments for my business, where we restructured everything. I took a step away from my business partner at that time, we brought on 5 new contractors, and our business blew up! When April came, my business slowed down, and I couldn’t go on sales and discovery calls as much. Around August or September, things started ramping up again — we hired 3 new employees, started making sales & discovery calls, and brought in new clients. We also relaunched Ready, Set, Record, and at the same time, we had to finish a Request For Proposal (RFP) for a big company we wanted to work with.

It was a lot in 1 week, and it felt like it was just one thing after another. Interviewing applicants, hiring, onboarding, relaunching RSR, writing the RFP, taking care of my family... it was too much, and it felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders.

Can you relate?

I experienced a season of burnout that I hadn’t felt before. The spark and excitement for my business were gone, and I felt like I was letting everyone down.

I had a lot of thoughts in my head, and I just wanted to burn my business down to the ground and start applying for VP of Marketing jobs for companies.

Thankfully, I got through that season of burnout with the support of my family, my coach, my team, and the supportive people around me.
