Go Premium to get even more Linkedin leads

Like all networking platforms, LinkedIn is free for the basic accounts. The basic account has features that offer a good start to marketing your company.

With the free account, you get things like building your professional footprint online, network with people you know and people that you should know, and search for companies or people and receive alerts about them.

When first starting out with LinkedIn, you will probably do well with the free account, but as a business and interest in what you do grows, you may find that you can get your business to the next level by upgrading your account.

Deciding to pay for an account on LinkedIn is recommended when you have maxed out the features you get on the free account.

linkedin premium

There are different kinds of premium accounts and they all have costs associated with them, however, you can try one for free for 30 days, and you can cancel your premium account at any time.

Job seekers will want to try Premium Career, which gives them access to career coaches, the ability to see who views their profile, the ability to send messages to recruiters, see how they measure up to other applicants for the types of jobs they are searching for, and the ability to become a “featured applicant.” Recruiters can sign up for a Recruiter Lite account that is feared toward hiring managers and recruiters.

LinkedIn Learning is an account that offers learning resources to learn skills, improve your skills, train employees, and gives you the ability to upload your own video content that is specifically made for your company. You can add tags to your content to make it searchable, and you can filter training based on things like job function, skills, and across all fields and levels, from beginner to expert.

While all three of these accounts have marketing aspects, they are not tailored to marketing, sales, or growing a business.

However, the other premium accounts are primed for marketing with them, and they encourage certain marketing elements.

Premium Business

LinkedIn premium business accounts are created for growing your company. This includes expanding your network, searching out potential leads, and offering information about your competitors, industry trends, and measuring your own company growth.

This type of account provides access to LinkedIn Learning, the ability to see who has looked at your profile and how they got there, unlimited browsing of member profiles, and 15 InMail messages per month so you can message anyone you would like to connect with even if they aren’t in your network.

If you receive an InMail response from a member you have sent one to, you will get a credit for that message.

Linkedin Premium

 

The “who’s viewed my profile?” feature is useful in creating personal connections with potential leads that find you instead of you having to go out and find them. Following up on leads that come to you generally means someone has been referred to your company or has heard good things about your company and wanted to find out more. These members who have viewed your profile or company page typically lead to a pretty easy sale since the initial work of bringing them to you have already been done.
The prospects who view your profile and connect with will bring along their network of potential leads.

The Premium Business account offers a filter for seeing where your views come from so that you can tailor your marketing materials. Or, if you see that your profile is being viewed by people who are unrelated to your planned marketing audience, you can use that information to update your keywords and materials to reach the right customers. LinkedIn Business allows you to see how you rank against the competition and others that are using LinkedIn.

Another helpful marketing and lead generation feature with LinkedIn Premium Business is the advanced search tool that offers more specific fields of search, like company size and member years of experience.

This can help you target your messages and saving the search lets you keep the results so you don’t have to run the same keywords more than once.

With Premium Business you get 500 search results at a time and up to 5,000 saved results, along with the ability to view the full profile of the results found, even if they aren’t in your network. An added bonus is that you can get alerts when something changes on anyone who was found in the search your saved, which can increase the possibility for you to gain even more new leads.

You also have access to analytical data on your page when you upgrade to a Premium Business account, including who visits your page and who follows your page. Each category can be broken down into various demographic categories like industry, job function, level of seniority and others. Graphs are created to show you the metrics regarding the engagement on your page. With LinkedIn Premium Business, you get “Business Insights,” which tells you a variety of useful pieces of information, both within your own company and with others.

To see any connection to your search results, you can click the “How You’re Connected” button. This will allow you to invite second-degree contacts to connect. You can see industry and company news and updates, which departments are increasing their budgets or cutting back, open jobs, and employee count. All of this information shows a company’s stability.

Upgrading your account to Premium Business is beneficial if you have a small business that you want to grow and network or if you are not necessarily a sales company. However, if you have a large company or a sales team, then you should consider upgrading to Sales Navigator.

Sales Navigator

The premium Sales Navigator account is suited for businesses for many reasons. It is a useful tool for lead generation and advanced search filters to see where your target audience lies. The average sales navigator member sees an increase in their opportunities for leads and sales, more goals being met, and a more productive sales team. The Sales Navigator is also helpful for marketing as well as sales because it helps you to pinpoint your target audience and understand what you audience is interested in.

There are three plans available in the Sales Navigator Account:

• Professional
• Team
• Enterprise

While Sales Navigator is geared toward sales teams, it can also be extremely helpful for marketing. The advanced search options allow detailed search fields with a wide range of keywords, beyond job function and geographical location. This can allow your marketing team the ability to compare their traffic against the size of the target audience.

Your sales and marketing teams can work together to increase the company profitability using LinkedIn tools. Having the two departments working together results in a more comprehensive picture of the client and increased profitability. When you have potential customers that have viewed your ads and been on the receiving end of one of your marketing strategies, your sales team will usually see an increase of opened and answered Sponsored InMail messages sent by your salespeople.

Personal relationships between potential customers and your sales team also help to boost the sharing of content media by the potential client. This makes it beneficial to share the marketing content with the sales team and showing them how to use it.

LinkedIn’s basic profile is a good place to start when you are just starting out on LinkedIn, but as your business gains more connections and a larger network, upgrading to one of the premium accounts can justify the expense by making it up in new revenue.

Linkedin Introduction

 

The Internet’s impact on business over the years has been, and continues to be, profound and common. It has enabled what were once, local and small industries and businesses owners to reach people around the world.

Businesses can no longer define their competition by geographical boundaries or a level playing field where all players are bound by the same rules.

social media apps

Major market disrupters like Airbnb, Uber, Netflix, and Alibaba are turning what were at a time considered A-grade business models into relics of the past.

The impact is set to continue, even more rapidly, over the next several years. For many companies, it will mean an even tougher business environment.

There will continue to be more disrupters emerging, which will become agile and nimble businesses that will dominate the markets.

There will be
more start-ups with savvy entrepreneurial backing that will become overnight successes.

LinkedIn has emerged as one of the main powerhouses on the Internet for business leads and sales and now has more than 500 million users around the world.

The business networking platform was started in 2002, by the founder of PayPal, Reid Hoffman. The company has seen steady growth since its official launch in 2003.

LinkedIn has earned a reputation as the social media platform that entrepreneurs can use to find the right buyers and quality leads online.

LinkedIn stands out from the other social media platforms, because the majority of LinkedIn members log into LinkedIn with the intention of networking with other like-minded individuals.

One of LinkedIn’s greatest benefits is its ability to enable entrepreneurs to connect with small business owners, CEOs, VPs, key decision-makers, other entrepreneurs, and potential customers.

The professional networking platform gives entrepreneurs an effective digital platform for finding and engaging with their ideal customers and to build a sustainable business relationship with them.

Unlike decades past, LinkedIn allows you to research companies and locate the decision makers without having to resort to spending your days cold calling.

LinkedIn allows you to engage with your ideal prospect through groups and recommendations from your first-degree contacts.

This new strategy, also known as social selling, hasn’t been fully embraced by the business world yet. However, those businesses that have embraced social selling and integrated those strategies into their sales process have yielded greater benefits.

Understanding how to utilize LinkedIn as a business can create a substantial difference in the number of highly targeted leads that you can generate.

If you aren’t already using LinkedIn marketing in your online marketing strategy, the following chapters will show you how you can optimize your LinkedIn profile and use its unique features to generate more targeted leads and dramatically increase sales for your business.

The networking opportunities afforded by being a member of LinkedIn are invaluable, and the marketing opportunities are vast.

Pursue Your Dreams And Silence The Noise

I know a young and successful entrepreneur whose mother told for the longest time that she would not amount to anything but would get pregnant early and throw away her future.

She constantly heard it being said to her that she was a bad example to her younger siblings and that her mum wished she had never brought her into her home when she remarried.

Maya (the lady in question) was born as a result of her mother’s first unhappy marriage and perhaps that was the reason she became a victim of all that emotional abuse.

She however always felt it in her heart that she was going to be a great person, well-known in society and that she became.

 

Positive Action

When asked how she managed to see a picture so beautiful and totally different from the one painted by her mum she replied, “Of course I was deeply hurt by the daily negative words but with time I learned to tone down her voice.

It took me convincing myself that the unkind things said to me were untrue to finally succeed in phasing them out of my imagination”

Why parents, guardians, and sometimes siblings feel the need to crush the very people they should be supporting is a broad topic worth thoroughly researching but reality shows that for different reasons they do.

You may have had first-hand experience of such down-talking that got you so demotivated you stopped trying to become the success you initially thought you could be.

Maybe you even saw yourself slowly fit into the ugly mold they crafted for you with their words but there is good news for you: you can learn to silence the noise that was administered into your mind which later began to affect your imagination.

You can learn instead to create your beat and begin to dance to the tune you enjoy.

Dare to challenge the soundness of the things you have been told by other people.

Most people voice their opinions coming from biased perspectives, why then would you let your life be shaped by these?

You have the final say concerning the direction your life takes and your destiny?

In the fight to realize the picture you have of yourself and your future, you need to discard all other images that don’t align with your belief. Decide what your truth is and count all contradicting statements as lies.

Sometimes the problem causing you to lean so much on what other people say to you is lack of confidence or thinking too highly of them than you should.

When you believe they are wiser, more observant, or better judges of character then it follows that you begin to take what they say as true.

Why don’t you believe yourself to be those things instead? Why won’t you take on a new mentality that assumes that you are powerful, wise, and certain of what you want in life?

Noise may come from within sometimes. Some people are champions at taking shots at themselves!

If that is you then now is the time to stop.

You can consciously decide what you entertain in your thoughts and what needs to be fired from them immediately.

If for example you are working out and eating healthy so that you lose weight and yet daily you tell yourself that you are fat and unattractive then you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Indeed it may be that you aren’t even aware of the disempowering thoughts and words you have about yourself because you have repeated them enough times that they have somehow become a part of you.

Take time today to assess the thoughts you have of yourself and actively discard all the negative ones.

Be merciless when it comes to shutting out all the noise within and without.

Have you ever tried to listen to a radio station a couple of Hertz out of its perfect frequency?

The unwanted noise competing with the ‘good’ noise you wanted to hear was agitating, wasn’t it? Increasing the volume didn’t help either because it made the noise louder as well.

It is the same thing in your life. You need to silence the noise that competes with the melody of your dreams.

This, like most things in life, is a process.

Your diligence determines your speed in the sense that if you chase away a thousand negative thoughts meant to cripple and dissuade you from running your race today, tomorrow you may need to cast away nine hundred and ninety such thoughts.

The following day they would become less as your mind got accustomed to the new way of thinking that is positive and progressive.

You cannot give up until you get to that place where the dominating notions are positive.

Consistently declare the goodness you want to see in your life even when negativity stares you in the eye.

Do not be intimidated.

Burnout Busting Stress Management Techniques

 

Stress management techniques that help you avoid burnout are important to understand and implement into your life. Burnout is characterized by the inability to be effective and productive while also being stressed out, tired, and even angry when just thinking about the workday, business, or relationship.

 

Sleep 7 to 9 Hours a Night

 

The human body, with very few exceptions, needs at least 7 hours of sleep each night. There are some people who need less due to a genetic condition, but this is not really that common. If you aren’t sleeping enough each night due to being overworked or due to suffering from insomnia, try to find a way to put sleep as a priority in your life.

 

Exercise Every Day

 

Moving every single day, whether it’s walking, jogging, swimming, biking, or something else, is an important way to help your body regulate itself and reduce anxiety and stress. If you get up and move anytime you feel anxious, you’ll reduce your stress exponentially. Shoot for moderate exercise, at least 150 minutes a week, and you’ll be much less anxious and stressed.

 

Eat Right and Stay Hydrated

 

If you know which diet is most healthy for you, it’s important to practice it at least 80 per cent of the time. Not only will you feel better mentally and physically due to sticking to something, but it will also pay off by keeping you healthy and sickness free.

 

Take Up Meditation or Yoga

 

Doing slow exercises or clearing your mind at least 10 to 20 minutes every day is a great way to reduce stress. Many people like to combine exercise with mindfulness using a Yoga practice.

 

Ground Yourself

 

Anytime you are feeling stressed, find a way to ground yourself. The way you do this is that you start pointing out objects around you in your mind to help yourself become more mindful of right now. You can also go for a barefoot walk in the grass to help you connect with nature.

 

Create an Organized Environment

 

Studies are definitive about having clutter around – it’s not good for your mind, and it is terrible for productivity. If you really want to be successful, find an organizational method that works for you, and practice it religiously. Many people swear by The Fly Lady. (http://www.flylady.net/)

 

Develop a Realistic Schedule

 

Learning how to schedule yourself for maximum productivity without overworking yourself is an essential skill that you can learn. Try taking some time management courses or learn how to use a particular type of scheduling like block scheduling, for example.

 

Keep a Daily Reflection Journal

 

Journaling is always an excellent method for helping you deal with stress. One way to do that is to write a daily reflection journal that describes what you did right and what you’d do differently, along with your thoughts about your feelings for the day.

 

Developing habits that are healthy such as sleeping 7 to 9 hours a night, eating right, and moving daily are all important techniques that will help you avoid the stress that can lead to burnout. It’s imperative that you practice self-awareness so that you can mitigate any of the signs of burnout before they become too serious.  No one is immune to burnout. If you work too hard without the right care, you will get burned out. It’s human nature, and the only way to avoid it is by using proper burnout busting stress management techniques.

Practice Self-Loving and Acceptance

Loving yourself these days almost seems like a practice in narcissism. So many websites that promote self-love do it in a way that appears only to glorify capitalism and not really true self-love, much less acceptance. I mean, it’s easy to accept yourself if you’re perfect, right?

Create a community of entrpreneurs

If you really want to practice self-love, it has nothing to do with how much money you spend but about how you feel about yourself and, by extension, others.

 

  • Positive Affirmations – Every single day when you get up, and right before you go to sleep, tell yourself positive things. It can be about your looks, your thoughts, or your actions. It can be about how you want to behave tomorrow or how you behaved today by way of celebrating your success.

 

  • Healthy Diet – Whatever you consider a healthy diet is an important component of self-love and acceptance. After all, if you really love yourself, you’ll provide yourself the right nutrition that you need to thrive, right?

 

  • Exercise Regularly – Again, if you really love yourself, you’ll get moving every single day at least 20 to 30 minutes for a minimum of 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise to maintain your health and avoid problems.

 

  • Stay Hydrated – Drinking enough fresh filtered water is also part of loving yourself enough to be healthy. When you are healthy all the way through, you’re going to make better choices and automatically feel more satisfied with life.

 

  • Dance More – It’s hard to be burned out, sad, or unhappy when you’re dancing. Plus, it’s great exercise that will get your blood pumping and help you feel better about yourself.

 

  • Surround Yourself with Happy People – They say that birds of a feather, flock together, and this is so true. Find people who act the way you want to act and live in the way you want to live who are also supportive of you.

 

  • Don’t Compare Yourself – Don’t compare yourself with other people in a bad way. It’s okay to aspire to be something that is possible with hard work, but you can’t be what you’re not no matter what you do.

 

  • End Toxic Relationships Now – If you’re in a relationship that has more downsides than upsides, find a way to eliminate it or slow it down. It’s hard if it’s a relative, but if someone is dangerous to your happiness, it’s time to separate yourself from them. You can always love them from afar.

 

  • Celebrate Your Wins Big and Small – When you succeed, celebrate it no matter how small. It’s not pride nor arrogance to talk about doing an excellent job on something. If you set a goal and made it, take time out to celebrate it and talk about it.

 

  • Get Comfortable with Discomfort – Sometimes, you have to be a little uncomfortable to experience a great change in life. If you really want to be successful, let yourself feel uncomfortable as long as it’s within your principles, morals, or values.

 

  • Meditate – Take time every day to be quiet and just clear your mind. You can use meditation, prayer, or just silence to accomplish this goal. It will help you more than you know to shut out the world once a day for even ten minutes a day.

 

  • Get Back to Nature – As often as you can get into nature in order to feed your body vitamin D, your lungs fresh air, and give your mind the beauty of nature. Studies show that humans always feel better when they are grounded to nature at least once a day or as often as humanly possible.

 

  • Study Your Passions – When you have something that interests you before you get involved, go ahead and permit yourself to study your passions. You can’t know what you like without experiencing different things.

 

  • Act with Kindness – Not only should you seek to be kind to others but also to yourself. For example, if you are struggling with addiction, it’s not kind to feed it, but it’s also not kind to harshly judge yourself or others.

 

  • Practice Empathy – Putting yourself into someone else’s shoes and feeling what they might be feeling can be hard if you haven’t had the experience. But you can practice by truly listening to others talk about their experiences, read more books, and expose yourself to more people.

 

  • Be Grateful – Take out time each day to be grateful for whatever is good in your life right now. Even if nothing is perfect, it never will be, you can recognize what is good and right for now.

 

  • Practice Radical Forgiveness – Not only should you forgive yourself for doing wrong if you are learning from it and changing, but you should do that for others and take it one step further and forgive those who have wronged you who you don’t even talk to. Forgiveness doesn’t mean letting people keep hurting you, but it does mean to let go of trying to fix it so that you can move on.

 

Self-love and acceptance don’t actually mean that you become selfish and greedy while stepping on others. No, self-love and acceptance are about acting with kindness to yourself and others to advance your overall life mission and to avoid burnout.

Avoid Burnout: Reach Out and Find Someone to Talk To

The truth is that productivity has zero to do with being busy. You can be ultra-productive without doing a thing yourself. For example, you can pay someone else to build your website while you design your product. You can even pay someone else to design your product, build your website, advertise your product, and pretty much everything that needs to be done – all while you sit at the beach doing nothing but financing it.

Figure out where the Burnout is coming from

Such is the case for numerous people in the investment class. But, if you’re used to being working class, it can be hard to understand that productivity is about the impact you make and not about the energy you personally expend to make that impact. This discrepancy in mindset can cause burnout.

 

The main reason for this inconsistency is that you’ve been taught, as someone in the working class, to work. There is nothing wrong with this, it’s great to have a good work ethic, but it is a mind shift to move from the idea that being busy is being productive to ensuring that you avoid burnout as a business owner. It can help to talk to someone.

 

  • Hire a Life Coach – There are many mindset coaches out there that can help you work through this problem in your mind. The more you can accept that investing in help to get more done in less time with less work is the best for your business and your lifestyle, the sooner you’ll get over burnout or avoid it in the first place.

 

  • Hire a Professional Counselor – Today, you can also work with a professional counselor right online with sites like TalkSpace.com and others. They will work with you on any issue you want to, much like a life coach but from a mental health aspect.

 

  • Seek Out a Psychiatrist – If you feel your burnout is advanced – you’ve lost work, you’ve experienced relationship failure, or your health is suffering, finding a certified psychiatrist may be your best option as medication might be in order.

 

  • Join a Mastermind – If you know your problem is the inability to say no, or being a people pleaser, or just not realizing that you don’t have to be busy all the dang time to be successful, a mastermind focused on changing your mindset from a worker bee to a business owner can be immensely helpful.

 

  • Participate in a Community – There are numerous communities online today through Facebook and other social media platforms devoted to mindset and mind shifts like avoiding burnout and revising the idea of productivity. If you can’t find one, you can even start your own.

 

  • Study Mindset or Take a Course – Look at sites like Udemy.com and others for courses about productivity and mindset to help you overcome burnout. You may be surprised at how much you can find already out there to help you overcome or avoid burnout. Plus, you’ll find a community that will talk to you and helps you through it too.

 

Overcoming burnout and avoiding burn out is an important part of life today. So many people have had enough and don’t know how to overcome it. There are so many pressures on people to work more and be busy all the time. People have confused, busy with productivity. They have monetized their entire life and feel the need to be busy at all times. If you do this and fear you’re heading to burnout, find people to talk to as soon as you can.

Burnout Experienced More by People Pleasers

A people pleaser is someone who wants the people around them to always be happy. Sometimes people pleasers will become so invested in ensuring the satisfaction and happiness of those around them that they become intrusive pests, and other times they become a reliable workhorse.

Be mindful

One thing people pleasures never become is the successful leader that they dreamed of becoming before becoming burned out. To put it bluntly, if you want to avoid burnout, it’s time to stop being a people pleaser. There is no reward for being a people pleaser, but remember, it doesn’t mean you have to let go of your humanity; you just have to learn to recognize when it’s too much.

 

You Don’t Have to Do It

 

You really cannot do everything. Small business owners often think that they’re supposed to do everything, especially if they have an internet business. It makes sense to hire help if you own bricks and mortar business, but it’s a harder sale for someone working from home as a digital marketer, coach, or other professions.

 

But the fact is, not only do you not have to do everything, you should not do everything. No CEO ever does all their own work. No, successful CEOs and business owners come up with the ideas and pass tasks on to experts who churn the ideas out fast due to their expertise. Due to that, they tend to make more money without burnout.

 

Know Your Mission in Life

 

You must understand what your overall life goals are. You can be general in terms of the goals for your entire life, such as “not contributing to environmental pollution” or “not consuming animal products” or “saving time on content marketing for customers and clients.” If you know the goal, you can ensure that the actions you take are getting you closer to that goal or not.

 

Learn to Say Yes Slowly

 

When someone asks something new of you, don’t say yes or no. Say that you’ll think about it and give them a time when you’ll get back to them if they cannot wait then the answer defaults to no without you ever having to say no. Evaluate the tasks that you will need to be successful in the project and say yes only if it really aligns with your principles, morals, values, and mission.

 

Set Boundaries Using Time

 

One way to say yes more without getting burned out is to compartmentalize and schedule your time better. For example, if you really do want to help feed the homeless, but you’re strapped for time, just let the organization know that you can either donate money or you can spend from 11 am until 2 pm once a week only. Remember that doing something in conjunction with others adds up and that you don’t have to take on every project or cause on your own by yourself. Set time boundaries and do a little, and it’s enough.

 

Drop Manipulators from Your Life

 

Everyone has someone in their life that will try to make them feel guilty for not doing what they want you to do. If you have someone like that in your life who revolts when you reclaim your time, it’s time to let them go from your life. This is not something that is mean, or that has to be announced just slowly separate yourself from that situation by saying no.

 

Keep Your Empathy Intact

 

When you start learning to stand up for yourself, and your own time, it can begin to feel as if you don’t care about others to yourself. You are used to being the one who helps everyone and is always available, and it will feel hard at first. But realize if you are cognizant of putting your health first, your principles, morals, and values next and keep the impact of your actions, I mind you’ll be just fine.

 

You Can’t Be Everything to Everyone

 

It’s just a fact of life that you’re only one person with limited time just like everyone else. There is no prize for ruining your life, or health, to be everything to everyone. Plus, you’ll fail because it’s impossible. Instead, be everything to yourself and kind to everyone else without laying down your life for them.

 

Once you accept that you don’t have to be a people pleaser to be a kind, caring human being, it will become much easier for you to set the boundaries you need to set in order to become successful in your business, your job, and your relationships.

Unexplained Fatigue and Insomnia: Burnout or Something Else?

Often, one of the first signs of burnout manifests as the inability to sleep or the ability to sleep all the time. For some people, they end up not being able to sleep due to being up all night long with circular thoughts that won’t stop coming. When this happens over a long period of time, more than a few weeks, insomnia is feared.

eliminate, delegate, automate

Insomnia will cause you to be tired all day long, but no matter how tired you are, when you get to bed, the stress of knowing you need sleep and the other issues you’re experiencing that started the sleeping issues to start with come back and cause problems all over again. Then due to the lack of sleep at night, they’re tired all day long, and a horrific pattern is born.

 

While this is absolutely a sign of burnout, it can also be a sign of depression or other illnesses. Therefore, it’s imperative that if you experience insomnia with fatigue for more than a few weeks that you should consider getting a full physical and health workup by your primary care physician.

 

Let them know why you need the exam so that they know what to look for. Some of the issues that may be causing your insomnia and fatigue aside from burnout are:

 

Vitamin Imbalance

 

Your doctor should order a full panel to find out what your vitamin levels are. Being low in vitamin B12, D3, and other vitamins and minerals can manifest as insomnia and other health issues, including brain damage and severe body pain. Once you know what you need, take a good supplement that has third party studies to certify it.

 

Poor Sleeping Habits

 

If you’re not going to bed at the same time (as much as possible) every night and getting up in the morning at relatively the same time, you may be causing disturbances in your circadian rhythms. This is true, especially if you’re not exposing yourself to daytime sunshine, drinking enough fluids, exercising, and eating right. Try setting up your sleeping area as dark, cool, comfortable, and quiet, void of technology and made for sleeping.

 

Hormone Issues

 

When your doctor does the blood test, they’ll also be checking your hormone levels. If your hormones are out of whack, it can cause you to have insomnia, heart palpitations, and other problems, even circular thoughts. If you do have an issue, your doctor will recommend hormones for you or a new diet to help.

 

Financial Problems

 

If you have allowed your budget to get out of control or something external has caused you to experience financial problems this can cause anyone to end up burned out, stressed, and not being able to sleep. Try to do what you can to fix what you can and let go of what you cannot fix. If it’s awful, you may need to find a bankruptcy attorney.

 

Illness

 

Whether you are sick, or someone you care about is sick, it can affect you in many ways, including causing insomnia and fatigue due to lack of sleep. If you know you’re ill, talk to your doctor about your issues. If it’s a family member, you may need to talk to a professional counselor or life coach to help you deal with it more healthily.

 

If it turns out to be burnout, which you may know deep down, you’ll still end up with a clean bill of health, which is worth the trouble. Being healthy will help you, whether the fight to come out of burnout and get your life straight so that you can avoid repeating the actions that caused you to end up burned out in the first place.

Say No More Often: Purge Your To-Do List

The telltale signs of burnout are feelings of overwhelming exhaustion, cynicism, and detachment. You may also feel as if you are ineffective and are not accomplishing anything in your life while simultaneously feeling irreplaceable and as if no one else can do what you do and help you.

 

In other words, you may be experiencing signs of burnout because you never say no. Purging your to-do list can help. But first, how do you know what to stop doing, and more importantly, how do you stop saying yes to everything?

Burnout Symptoms

 

Remember these keywords:

Eliminate, automate, and delegate as you rid yourself of extra work and start saying no more.

 

Eliminate

Whenever you look at a task, you need to first think about whether it’s even required to be done or not. Just because you’ve always done something does not mean it has to be done. Try to anticipate what happens if you just take it off your list completely. Write down the pros and cons of totally letting this task go.

For example, if you are a writer, do you limit how many times you read through and edit any one piece of work? If not, you should. There is always a point at which future editing will just make the work less effective.

 

Automate

Can the task that you need to do be done with software? If you can eliminate a task through automation, taking it off your plate in an affordable way, it’s essential to do it as soon as you can financially accomplish it. There is a technology that exists that you may not even be aware of yet.

It might help to talk to someone aware of the technology available for productivity in your space. The advice will be paramount in helping you move your business forward with as much automation as possible. For example, did you know about IFTTT technology that you can use through platforms like Zapier.com?

If This Then That (commonly known as IFTTT

 

Delegate

If you can’t let it go entirely, and you can’t automate it, perhaps you can outsource it to someone else? You might want to pay a virtual assistant to help you with customer service, editing, or other things. Maybe you can get your spouse or kids to do more housework, so you have more time for business.

For example, if you are a writer and you know you have to edit your writing, it might work out better for you if you let someone else do the editing and final revisions to ensure it gets done in a timely manner? Or perhaps you cannot yet afford an editor, so instead, you get your spouse to cook dinner so that you have more time to edit in a timely manner.

Finally, once your to-do list is cleaned up, start saying no more often when asked to add something to your plate. Make it a habit to never say yes right away. Instead, tell people (or yourself) that you have to check your schedule. Then determine the benefits and drawbacks of adding that task to your life. If it helps you advance your goals, you can say yes, if it doesn’t do anything to move you forward and only adds stress to your life, say no.
