Running and growing a business is one of the most demanding things any person could choose to do. With any number of problems or brick walls arising, the business owner often finds themselves taking on too much to ensure that the business doesn't fail. But what are the consequences of the business owner working on absolutely everything IN their business, instead of ON it?
For Justine Flynn, the Co-Founder of Thankyou, one of Australia's leading social enterprises, the consequence of balancing the business and looking after two kids was finding herself bedridden for four months due to health complications. Despite the major successes the business had with $17 million donated to helping end extreme poverty through the products Thankyou sells, Justine had burnt out.
This episode of The Make It Happen Show is an important one, covering a topic most don't talk about when it comes to building a successful business — preventing burn out. Hustle culture is so prevalent amongst the entrepreneurial minded so, how exactly can someone in business stop doing and managing everything, find leverage, and start working 'on' the business instead of burning themselves into the ground? Listen now to Justine's story of recovery, change and innovation.
