Key Takeaways:
-
Burnout often stems from early misalignment, not overwork.
-
Entrepreneurs confuse hustle with mastery, but without identity alignment, success feels hollow.
-
Fear-driven decisions, masked as logic, erode confidence and leadership integrity.
-
True growth begins with an "identity audit"—a deep dive into who you were before expectations took over.
-
Emotional intelligence is not optional for leaders—it’s the foundation of sustainable decision-making.
