[:en]As creative entrepreneurs, it\u2019s super important for us to keep the inspiration alive. We are surrounded by everyone\u2019s highlight reel. We only see the glamorous parts of entrepreneurship. We see those pinterest-worthy home offices with faux fur rugs tossed around the white leather chairs in their never-been-messy homes. We see women who are meal-prepping their keto dinners every Sunday afternoon while recording a podcast and doing a Facebook live.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hold up a second\u2026 we ARE these women. We cross off an item on our to-do list and next thing we know, there\u2019s something else stealing our attention. <\/span>We go.<\/b> Go. GO. That\u2019s what we do, right? We get things DONE.<\/p>\n

Then it hits you. The not-so-glamorous entrepreneurial burnout.\"Not<\/i><\/p>\n

You know that burnout that makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning? The kind of burnout that leaves us telling our mom we\u2019ll call her next week because we are just THAT drained. It\u2019s the burnout that leaves us canceling plans that excite us. The burnout that makes us put our mental health on the back-burner. It brings out allll the guilt. The guilt for not doing enough and not being a good enough wife, mom or business women. It sucks, but we have all been there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Good news is, taking a proactive approach to life and your business can help keep you on track to avoid this ever-so-treacherous entrepreneurial burnout. And I promise you, that nap you\u2019re thinking about right now will end up working more towards your business than holding out to do more work would. Trust me, girl.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanna know my secrets to avoiding entrepre<\/span>neurial burnout? Well lucky for you, I\u2019m sharing these with you below! *happy dance* Read on & enjoy!<\/p>\n

CELEBRATE THE WINS.<\/b><\/h3>\n

I put this one first intentionally – it\u2019s SO important. We are doing incredible things everyday. We\u2019re working full-time jobs, taking care of our homes, keeping up with the bills, making dinner, cleaning our houses, doing ALL the things, all while growing a business.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the first things I did when I went into business was hire a business coach. She stressed the importance of celebrating every single win, because as these go-getter, amazing women, we are constantly in GO mode. In \u201cI have to do more\u201d mode. In \u201cI have to get this done right freaking now,\u201d mode. Doing one task and going on to another without focusing on the wins (I\u2019m talking both big AND small) leads to us forgetting our \u201cwhy.\u201d It makes us ask ourselves if what we\u2019re doing is even worth it all this hustle and bustle.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you find yourself celebrating the small wins, you find yourself wanting to achieve more! It\u2019s like that feeling you get after you check something off of your to-do list. You know that feeling, don\u2019t you? Let yourself feel that rush for longer than the typical three seconds before you move on to something else. When I get a new client, I literally stand up and dance. Then I go do something for myself. Whether that\u2019s taking a bath, going to dinner or even going to bed. Sometimes it\u2019s booking the weekend trip I\u2019ve been thinking about. Regardless of what it is, I ALWAYS celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some things that always deserve celebrating:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
