236: I Built the Business I Wanted, So Why Do I Feel Like Quitting?
Do you lie awake at night, feeling that nagging urge to throw in the towel even though your business is thriving?
Many women entrepreneurs hit their revenue goals, have adoring clients, or finally upgraded their systems. Yet, they still fantasize about walking away for something simpler, like becoming an employee again or living in the Swiss Alps as a dog walker. However, what looks like craziness or ungratefulness on the surface is just a sign of a much-needed internal shift.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn why you feel like shutting your business down even when everything looks perfect on the surface. I’ll teach you why burnout isn’t from your efforts, why success can feel like a trap, and the crucial role of your mindset, self-talk, and support system in sustaining your entrepreneurial journey with renewed energy, power, and purpose.
