👉 Not every opportunity is the right opportunity.

When you’re burned out or disconnected, it’s easy to say yes to things that steal your time and energy.

But you don’t need to guess — you already have an internal GPS.

It’s your values.

Here’s how I break it down:

➔ Green means GO:

Does it align with your Core Five?
Then do the thing. Say yes. Take the job. Commit to the project. Move toward the people who light you up.

➔ Yellow means SLOW:

Not sure? Hit pause.
Ask someone wise. Trust that the right thing will still be there when you're clear.
Urgent ≠ important.

➔ Red means STOP:

If it feels off, it is off.
If it drains you, walk away.
No amount of money is worth selling out your integrity.
Because when you ignore your values, the world tells you who you are — and you forget.

🔷 This is why burnout recovery begins with reconnecting to your values. Because your core values... are you.

👉 You don’t need permission to believe in yourself.

So many of us are stuck in burnout not because we’re lazy — but because we’ve spent years chasing approval instead of alignment.

➔ We doubt ourselves.
➔ We question our worth.
➔ We wait for someone else to tell us we’re doing enough.

But here’s the truth: You don’t need external validation to live an authentic, grounded, powerful life.

You just need to reconnect with who you already are — and what you already know is true.

✨ If you’re ready to let go of burnout and step into the strongest version of yourself…

You should do the thing. The crazy thing you’ve been dreaming about.

Every day, billions of people wake up — and the stats tell us an enormous portion are dissatisfied.

Dissatisfied with their work. Dissatisfied with their relationships. Stuck. Numb. Going through the motions.

I felt that way six years ago.

I’m not the type of guy who thinks working for other people is a scam.

I’m not the type of guy who tells you to bail on your corporate job.

But if you’re not being compensated fairly — or your days feel stagnant and meaningless — it’s time to take a deeper look at yourself.

As I approached midlife, I thought I had made it. I landed a medical sales job that was supposed to be the pinnacle of my career.

Instead, it turned out to be terrible.

The manager who hired me had already put in her notice (but failed to mention it).

I found myself on a sinking ship with a team that was imploding. Over the next 18 months, I reported to five different managers — with almost no training to boot.

Burnout starts slowly.

But like most things, it picks up speed with every passing day.

If I had the wisdom I have now, I wouldn’t have taken it so personally.

I would have realized that I had a front-row seat to how not to do life.

How not to lead.

How not to treat clients.

Most importantly, how not to spend the rest of my career working outside my zone of genius.

And above all...

I did the thing!
