How to Cope with Culture Shock - was
Over the weekend, I attended an event in Niagara Falls for entrepreneurs. Even though my entrepreneurial pursuits are more limited these days, I felt at home with the group of like-minded people trying to hustle and make it work doing what they are truly passionate about. In one of the sessions of the day, my group discussed productivity and how entrepreneurs have endless to-do lists and typically do everything themselves: operations, sales, marketing, customer service, and so on. Talking about burnout has been something that I have mostly reserved for those closest to me. There are a lot of great resources out there that describe the symptoms, but everyone has different experiences. When I spoke to the group about my challenges and what I learned, they encouraged me to share my experience. For me, burnout felt like I was no longer making an impact in the work that I did. I was convinced that my contribution was not worth much: even though that was not the truth. I spent a long time trying to convince others of my worth, but even with their approval, something still was lacking. How to Cope with Culture Shock
