During post-holiday conversations with association colleagues, I have been struck by the number of times people have talked about burn out. Rather than coming back from the holidays ready to go, our community started a bit tired this year. No wonder! Life has been a little heavy recently. I sense a haze of worry in the people I talk to, and the worry is pervasive found at the family unit, local, national, and global levels.

About 10 years ago, I went to my first solopreneur’s conference. A carefully written series of super friendly emails made me feel prepared and excited. However, even so, on the morning of Day 1, I was still slightly anxious about meeting my 600 new besties. That anxiety left the moment I parked my car.
