I was looking on some tips on how to manage stress and burn out.
I currently work a physically and mentally demanding job managing a steel shop. I have spent every free hour of my time learning about the business side of the trade and growing the side business. I have been executing lots of ideas within the business and have not won a contracting bid yet.
I have been feeling out the market and have hit a lot of walls so far, but with that said I have learned so much of a world I never seen as a employee.
Lots and lots of trial and error.

it’s very discouraging to put in this much effort and not see any rewards. I’m going to keep plugging away at it however.

Im sure I’m not alone in my struggle In exhaustion and burnout. Hoping to get some tips from people whom have dealt with this.
