In Episode 1 of this special series on self-care and strategy
for entrepreneurs, Dr. Sabrina lays down a framework regarding the
importance of our mindset and mental health. She encourages us to
acknowledge that the current pandemic has changed life as we know
it, and explores ways to help us think more strategically about how
this situation can help prepare us and our business for any future
adversity.
Listen in to hear Dr. Sabrina’s tips and resources that will
help you cope so that you can not just survive, but thrive.
Profit by Design is a Tap the Potential Production in
collaboration with Small Business Consulting Group.
Show Highlights:
- In studying entrepreneurs and assessing their levels of
entrepreneurial burnout, Dr. Sabrina is seeing a very strong
correlation between burnout and gaps that exist in our
business.
- Many entrepreneurs in the Tap the Potential community have been
practicing Profit First, which is a great way to
strengthen your business foundation and provide you with cash
reserves to help get you through whatever might be happening in
your business.
- Burnout leaves us in a constant state of chronic stress, with
stress hormones coursing continuously through our bodies. This kind
of stress significantly raises our risk for depression and
suicide.
- Tunnel vision causes us to miss the opportunities around
us.
- Dr. Sabrina explains “survival trap” decisions and how Tap the
Potential shows you how to avoid these traps by helping you to
create a business plan that supports your life vision.
- Our survival instincts are great at helping us to survive but
they’re not great at moving us closer to our vision.
- Make sure that any decisions that you’re making to get through
the immediate situation are in alignment with your life
vision.
- Dr. Sabrina provides her ideas for sharing the protocol plans
with her small group clients, those in the Better Business, Better Life™
program, and the retreat alumni. She also has something to offer
those who are not current clients of Tap the Potential.
- What is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and its relevance to
entrepreneurial burnout?

burnout by taking the FREE assessment here https://www.tapthepotential.com/assessment.

critical that you take care of yourself first.
- Here are some tips, which Dr. Sabrina explains in detail:
- Get adequate sleep
- Maintain a healthy mindset
- Practice Mindfulness (Dr. Sabrina enjoys the Calm
App!)
- Exercise
- Limit your media consumption and make it off-limits in the
morning.
- Your thinking is the average of the five people with whom we
spend the most time, so surround yourself with people who think in
a healthy, positive way.
- Tap the Potential’s resources to help support you:
- The Profit By Design Podcast airs each Thursday covering
healthy conversations that are good for your mindset.

tunnel vision.
