The Road to Seven

The Reality Behind Burnout - and what you can do about it.

Shelagh Cummins Episode 165

“There’s such guilt associated with NOT doing.”

- Shelagh Cummins


In 2022, a study conducted by Mental Health Research Canada found that over one-third of Canadians are experiencing burnout. In our busy, hectic, challenging world, burnout can mean the difference between surviving and thriving… especially for entrepreneurs. 


As an entrepreneur, chances are you’re constantly wearing multiple hats and juggling multiple tasks… even if you’ve already begun to build out your team. This level of stress, over time, can have powerful physical and psychological consequences.


If you’re standing at the edge of burnout — or fully struggling with burnout right now — then you won’t want to miss this episode of the Road to Seven. I talk about all things burnout: what it really means, why it happens, and how you can get yourself out of it and back on your path to success!

  • The problems with working too frequently outside of your zone of genius  
  • The areas of your life and business where you need to shift in order to avoid hitting the wall
