Exhaustion: Calming the Chaos

  • Summary

  • Kenny Chapman and Chris Crew talk about how leaders can get rid of exhaustion and calm the chaos in their service business.

    From mental aspects and key questions like “Am I serving my business or is my business serving me?” to the difference between boundaries and barriers, and common mistakes leaders make – you’ll get a crash course on preventing inefficiency caused by mental fatigue.

    • This episode addresses a topic that’s very much present in the home service business industry: calming the chaos and dealing with exhaustion.
    • Chris opens up about dealing with different types of exhaustion – and how they differ from one another.
    • Following a pace that drives you to mentally feel exhausted ends up crippling you physically.
    • Kenny believes that, in society, there’s a collective agreement that burnout is not only acceptable, but it’s kind of expected.
    • Chris explains how his why – the reason why he got into the industry in the first place – has allowed the chaos not to get out of hand.
    • Remember: the business isn’t going to create boundaries for you, it’s going to be you who needs to set them!
    • Kenny touches upon one of the laws for blue collar success: essential self-care.
    • A key question you should ask yourself is “Am I serving my business or is my business serving me?”
    • Kenny shares his thoughts on his current situation, while Chris stresses that, oftentimes, it’s not the business itself but who’s in the business that drains you.
    • “Magnified Agitation” is one of the first signs of a condition that could lead to burnout.
    • “Your emotional quotient (EQ) or emotional intelligence allows you to be emotionally regulated (ER),” says Chris.
    • Chris and Kenny discuss “the grind” and the impact it may end up having on you.
    • Having unclear boundaries is one of the “sins” managers who operate in chaos are guilty of.
    • If you’re a leader who’s focused on being selfless, you’re making a big mistake...you should be “self-full” instead.
    • Kenny goes over the difference between boundaries and barriers – and why it’s important to have clarity on this distinction.
    • Chris shares a powerful delegation tip that will help you become a better leader, while Kenny talks about why many leaders who are “firefighters” tend to be “arsonists” too.
    • Never forget that success is sustainable only when you’re calm and you’re focused on keeping yourself in control.
