EP 6 Burnout and Bad Decisions

As business continues to ramp up, I begin to survey the landscape of Sleepy Dog and make a decision: I will take on as much work as I can to build a buffer in the business so I can hire my first employee. John challenged this idea, worrying that was taking on too much, but despite his advice, I pushed forward, working longer and longer hours. Little did I know that I was building a debt on my body, and my mind was about to collect.

Some themes to ponder:

-How do you create healthy work/life boundaries when you're responsible for the whole company?

-When you've officially burnt out, how do you recover?
