From Burnout to Breakthrough: How I Rebuilt Productivity While Regaining My Life

Event description

I used to think being “all in” was the only way to serve small businesses. I worked like a man possessed—late nights, endless calls, always saying yes. My team and I were running on fumes, and while we were helping a lot of people, we were quietly burning ourselves out. Some of my best coaches hit the wall, and I wasn’t far behind.

The breaking point came during an open team discussion where everyone admitted the same thing: the pace was unsustainable. When I finally looked at my own life, I saw the fallout—strained relationships, declining health, and a constant exhaustion I couldn’t shake.

That conversation was a wake-up call. Over the next year, I became my own experiment—testing productivity systems, work-life balance strategies, and personal growth hacks. I tried each one for 30 days, keeping what worked and ditching the rest. The result? A practical system that lets us stay highly effective and healthy.

Now, I’m sharing that system with you. In this session, I’ll walk you through the exact strategies that helped me become a better SBDC coach, reclaim my energy, and help my team thrive without burning out. They changed my life—maybe they can change yours, too.
