Get Rich Without Being A Bitch

For as long as she could remember, Nikole Stanfield was addicted to being busy. It wasn’t until a few years into her career that Nikole began to experience the negative effects of working too hard. After scaling back her workload, Nikole realized that she was experiencing something many entrepreneurs do: burnout. Today, Nikole shares her story with other entrepreneurs in hope of teaching them how to be successful in their businesses without feeling like they have to put their happiness and health at risk.

When people think about being an entrepreneur, they dream of a life filled with freedom. While being an entrepreneur in America has many perks, the culture surrounding productivity can sometimes be toxic and detrimental to the wellbeing of the business owner. Nikole explains that when we neglect ourselves, we will have nothing left to give and our businesses will suffer. So to increase productivity and prevent burnout, it is crucial that every entrepreneur is intentional about implementing daily routines of self-care.

Tune into this week’s episode of Get Rich Without Being a Bitch to learn more about the importance of implementing mindfulness and self-care into your daily routine so you can continue doing what you love without feeling burnt out.
