It’s been said that the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. This past year I took a concerning call from a successful businessman, and his first words were, “I have a problem.” His problem specifically was feeling burned out and not seeing a clear way to effectively exit his business.
He went on to explain how the pain and stress associated with running the business was so great that he was willing to GIVE it away just so he didn’t have to endure going to work anymore. This really got me wondering how someone could feel so horribly about something they had spent a lifetime creating and if there was a way to keep it from happening.
