The Faith-Based Business Guide to Minimize Burnout

I recently did an Instagram Q & A on my stories, and one of the questions asked how I avoid burnout. 

As a faith-based business owner, wife, and mama, balancing all of my responsibilities is a daily challenge, y’all! But with God’s grace and hard work, I’ve figured out a few tips and tricks that make it possible. I wanted to share them with you here as well in a list. 

1. Create a structured workflow. This is so helpful to provide a framework to keep you grounded and focused when life is throwing y’all a million curve balls!
2. Know your why. Knowing your why is so key. My why is my family, my dad, and spreading the Word of God far and wide.
3. Set goals and celebrate when you reach them! This is what will get you through those late nights and roadblocks. For example, knowing I would get to go on vacation at the end of the year with my family helped me stay the course when I would get overwhelmed or tired. 

I recommend having a visual reminder for your goals and “why.” You could create a sales goal spreadsheet or vision board to keep your eyes on the prize! 

These are what have worked for me as I’ve built Imperfect Dust. They might seem simple, but I encourage you to try them out and see what works for you. 

There will be hard days. I still get burned out sometimes! However, having a plan, purpose, and goal will help you stay true to your calling from the Lord both in your relationships and/or work. 

For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you. - Isaiah 41:13
