Burnout doesn't just drain your energy; it impacts your productivity, creativity, and the relationships with your team and clients.

Here’s how it affects your business:

• Decreased productivity and poor decision-making.

• Reduced creativity and problem-solving abilities.

• Strained relationships with employees, clients, and partners.

But there is a solution. You can protect your mental health while scaling your business.
