Burnout is a feeling we as entrepreneurs know all too well. Feeling completely drained energetically and creatively, losing all motivation to push your business forward, and even having physical symptoms of anxiety are just a few signs that you’re approaching - or fully immersed in - burnout. That’s where our guest, Julie Bee, comes in. Julie is the author of Burned: How Business Owners Can Overcome Burnout and Fuel Success, and in this episode, she shares how she realized she needed to make a change following a major burnout moment, how to recognize your own unique signs of burnout, and how to set and hold boundaries to prevent future burnout.
Julie Bee is an award-winning podcast host, a leader, a professional speaker, and an entrepreneur. Julie started her career as an accountant but quickly discovered that path was not a good fit for her creativity. After losing her job in 2008, Julie founded BeeSmart Social Media. Since founding TJB Media in 2021, Julie focuses most of her time helping business owners prevent burnout and achieve success.
