How to Avoid Burnout as an Entrepreneur

The subject of burnout typically attracts two different types of people. First, are people that always think they've burned out. They say things like, "Yeah, I'm really going through burnout right now." Or, "You don't understand. Things are really hard for me right now because I'm burning out."

Then you have people who say, "I'm not burned out. I can push more." Regardless of where you are when it comes to burnout, stick with me. I'll share some things that may on one side contradict your mindset. I'll also give you tools that can help you go through the burnout process.

I always wanted Mario and the other guys and girls to do a video on how it's like working with Pat. Please do it 😊😊😊

7 minutes in and I already filled a new sheet with notes. I got a journal for YouTube notes, but so far its been a journal for Valuetainment notes LOL. I feel like my life depends on these notes. So much wisdom compacted into a video. I meditate and reflect on these insights....this channel is my favorite resource for growth as an entrepreneur..thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏻

[chanellesipchand-bain]

Yes! Mario needs to do a life of valuetainment video!!!

[mtttt]

Your doing an excellent job to be so busy, and still make time to create videos DAILY. Alot of youtube veterans these days tend to either throw out anything just to get a video out everyday, or they spend multiple days doing projects but get less consistent views. The fact that you manage both so well on top of your business really motivates me.

[chrisdunntv]

Patrick, I'm loving your videos man. Excellent content!

[HanisaMohamed]

Perfectionism is the enemy of success. Agree completely

[Flankymanga]

Yesss!!!! This is the topic i requested last year... glad to see PBD having covered the subject! Good work and thanks for the tips!

[christianboukhalil]

20 mins ago I was bombarded with every negative thought I can imagine..I watched this video and now I feel much much better..Thank you Patrick!

[mediocreassassin]

[frederickwixon]

Thank you for your service. Both in the military and in this arena of life.

[orionNsirius]

Looking forward to Mario's video👽

[SharifSourour]

I'm happy I'm back in the focus on process phase as I temporarily fell back into perfectionism LOL...

[BoldBrothersFit]

awesome video Patrick. Everything you said has to do with self care and changing your state, which I totally agree with. You can't solve your problems with the same mindset that created them. Thanks for sharing!

[manangmambobola]

This is gold. I just started my business and I'm glad I stumbled upon this early. Thanks!

[Raragonjunior]
