#59: Being Intentional & Preventing Burnout in Entrepreneurship – Sonita Reese
Sonita Reese is an entrepreneur helping time-starved entrepreneurs grow and thrive.
She’s definitely the right person for the job since she’s been on a life-long journey and realized what truly matters along the way.
The lessons she shares are applicable to a wide variety of big and small businesses, as well as to our personal lives.
We talked about different personas we assume (corporate versus entrepreneurial), what the notion of “time-starved” actually means in terms of entrepreneurship, and how to be intentional and strategic about building your personal brand.
She candidly discusses the impact of burnout on her life and the significance of being intentional and gracious in communication.
Sonita introduces her "Work Alive" framework for solopreneurs, which encourages aligning with purpose, living your values, identifying boundaries, verifying seasons, and embracing rest and rejuvenation.
She also encourages us to write down personal values and use anti-goals as a motivational tool to avoid undesirable outcomes in life and business.
