Good morning,
We're not out of the woods yet when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic. But America's vaccination campaign is ramping up--giving plenty of people the chance to finally start dreaming of exciting travel, packed concerts, and daring new professional ventures.
Historians suggest that's to be expected. The world's last pandemic took place in 1918, and was followed by the Roaring '20s, the indulgent era of flappers, jazz, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. That, of course, was followed by the Great Depression. In an effort to avoid history repeating, experts and commentators alike are issuing a warning that serves as great advice for any era--and is perhaps more useful for entrepreneurs than just about any other demographic.
Why? Because if anyone is vulnerable to pouring too much of themselves into a venture and burning out, it’s an entrepreneur. Go big or go home, right?
With that framing in mind, here's the advice: Stop working once you’ve expended 80 percent of your energy each day. Read our column to learn how the "80 Percent Energy Rule" can help you stave off burnout--and why that'll matter more than ever in the years ahead. |
