Starting your business can be an exciting, exhilarating adventure. In the beginning, you spend your time networking, building rapport, learning new skills, and creating your products or services that customers will love. But over time, as your business begins to evolve and grow and your responsibilities begin to increase – so does your levels of stress and anxiety.
This stress and anxiety can often lead to burnout and feelings of resentment. And that, my friend, can cause you to begin to hate your business eventually.

I also share the formula you need to evaluate the way you’re running your business and explain how to use this formula to fall back in love with your business again.
