218: Stop Running on Empty – The Elite Athlete Mindset for Business Owners
About this episode
Caryn Gillen discusses how business owners can adopt an elite athlete mindset to manage energy and prevent burnout.
In this episode of Business Your Way, host Caryn Gillen explores what life coaches and small business owners can gain by treating themselves like elite athletes. She breaks down what high performance really requires: honest self-awareness about your energy limits (like knowing you're a "one-experience-a-day" introvert), rejecting depletion as a badge of honor, and building personal systems (so you stop relearning the same lessons about what works for you). Can anyone relate?! 🫠 In this episode, we get into: Why "what are you training for?" is the most important business question you're not asking How to identify your personal energy rules (social limits, screen time, rest needs) Reframing self-care as performance fuel, not indulgence Building systems so you stop hitting the same walls over and over How to show up for your clients and your business without burning out ----- 👥 Need clarity, a "training plan," or accountability?
