How She Builds an Anti-Hustle Culture Business with Jadah Sellner
Running your own business can be a long and lonely road. As you reach out for community, you may be flooded by posts talking about “hustle culture”, “always earning”, and other popular philosophies around working that glamorize working yourself into the ground.
As enticing as it can be to surround yourself with this kind of messaging, it’s not a lifestyle that fits everyone. Burnout, anxiety and other mental health issues are more prevalent among young entrepreneurs now than ever before, and the impact of depriving yourself of rest can be devastating. So how do you keep the balance between profit and personal self?
In today’s episode, we are joined by best-selling author, business mentor, host of the Lead with Love® Podcast, and sought after international keynote and TEDx speaker Jadah Sellner. Combining her own encompassing experiences of starting a business with her passion for founders succeeding in all aspects of their life, Jadah helps founders grow their businesses to the next level without sacrificing what matters most.
Listen in as we speak about:
Creating a support system, inclusive of coaches and mentors
The importance of slowing down and investing in rest to avoid burnout
Celebrating oneself and reflecting on what is working/not working in your business
Building your business with love
And much, much, more!
Creating a support system, including coaches and mentors
This is your reminder that you build a community for support, not comparison. In our conversation, Jadah suggests that having people who can guide you and provide emotional support can be crucial in navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
Jadah also stresses the importance of finding a safe space for emotional processing, which can help entrepreneurs manage stress and burnout. She recommends that entrepreneurs seek out coaches and mentors who can provide guidance and support, and emphasizes the need to surround yourself with the right people in order to feel supported and energized.
Importance of slowing down and investing in rest to avoid burnout
Success comes at a cost, but you don’t have to sacrifice yourself when chasing your goals.
Taking breaks can feel indulgent or undeserved, but it is necessary for self-care. Jadah encourages listeners to create a plan to celebrate themselves, which is key to maintaining balance and avoiding burnout. She also suggests that investing in rest can pay dividends in unexpected ways. Clarity and ideas can come when we give ourselves space to think and dream, particularly when we get out of our heads and into our bodies.
Celebrating oneself and reflecting on what is working/not working in your business
Chasing success can be a trap. You may be constantly moving your goal posts and never feel satisfied with your business. This can be exhausting. But do you know what you’re chasing?
To gauge your actual happiness, Jadah recommends defining your "enough" number to avoid getting caught up in the never-ending chase for more and being content with what you have. Taking time to reflect on what aspects of your business are working well and what areas need improvement can help you make necessary changes to create a sustainable and fulfilling business. Additionally, creating a plan to celebrate yourself and your successes can help you maintain motivation, balance, and avoid burnout.
Building your business with love
Gauging your own burnout can help you gauge the overall health of your business. By approaching your business with L-O-V-E, so that we Lead, Optimize, Visualize and Expand.
