Jenny Wright: 我在创业过程中长期与抑郁症作斗争,尤其是在过去两年里,我发现我的业务方向让我感到不快乐。我意识到,作为一名创业者,做自己热爱的事情至关重要,但我开始害怕工作。我曾尝试通过参加各种活动来寻找动力,但却对某些工作和客户产生了不满。我感到自己没有受到足够的挑战,这让我感到沮丧。我意识到我需要做出改变,但又担心这会影响到我的家庭和团队。我开始重新评估我的业务,并最终决定转型成为一名 fractional CMO。这让我能够专注于战略营销,解决各种问题,并重新找回了工作的乐趣。同时,我也开始更加重视自己的心理健康,设定界限,并委派那些消耗精力的任务。通过这些改变,我重新找回了快乐,并意识到保护自己的精力是经营业务的基础。

Have you ever felt secretly burnt out in your own business, even when everything looks great on paper?

Maybe you've started feeling resentful towards clients. Maybe you're losing your excitement and can barely motivate yourself to show up at your desk. Maybe you're even wondering, "Why do I feel so isolated when everyone else seems to be thriving?"

Trust me, friend, I’ve been there.

In this very personal episode, I'm opening up about my long journey with depression, burnout, and feeling completely out of alignment in my business, and exactly how I reclaimed my joy, passion, and energy.

If you’ve ever wondered if it’s just you, if you’re doing entrepreneurship "wrong," or if there's a way out of feeling stuck and unhappy, I promise, this one’s for you.

Trigger warning:* This episode discusses personal experiences with depression. Please take care of yourself, and skip this episode if it feels sensitive or triggering right now. I’ve got plenty of tactical marketing and sales episodes waiting for you when you’re ready. 💖*
