How can I cure burnout?

Oh, boy. Welcome to my world. If you're dedicated to your concept, and it sounds like you are, you have to stick with it. I imagine you knew it would be exhausting. I've been doing the same for about three years and I knew going in..which is different from the actual experience, of course. I don't know how much time you have in but, for me, it was like that for a while, then things were pretty level now the economy tanked and I've been struggling again. I lost two (HUGE) clients when the mortgage crisis first hit but I am back up now, almost to level. That all being said, take a vacation. That's the only thing that works for me. I don't let myself do anything work-related for a week. By the time the second weekend rolls around, I'm champing at the bit. I realize that may be impossible but, if it is at all possible, that's what I suggest. If it's all that hard, at least take a fake vacation--daycation, weekend away, something special. Celebrate the b's you had to set out on your own. As impossible as it is, try to have a life outside of the biz. Take a day off and go to the movies--by yourself even. It's oddly satisfying when one is an independent business owner such as we.
