Interview transcript
Michaela Light 01:59
Welcome back to the show. I'm here with Ollie Matthews. And we're going to be talking about a big issue in business which is burnout. So many entrepreneurs are Go, go go until they are like the Energizer rabbit. And then they fall over, they don't have any energy and their health is shot to shit. Oops, am I allowed to say that word on this show? Yes, it's your show. It's my show. So we're going to look at how you can use your intuition to avoid burning out and some of the other related challenges involved in that very important. We'll talk about why it's important. A bit later, we'll also touch on hormones and stress and low energy, weight gain thyroid problems, sleep problems. And we have a story about someone who crashed her business. Was that sad, really. Anyway, we'll talk about that later. If you don't know, Ollie, he is in the United Kingdom. And he used to be, or still is kind of alternative doctor, I think he called it functional medicine, which I'd never heard that expression. We'll talk a bit about what that is in a moment. And he helps entrepreneurs who are on the brink of burnout or maybe beyond the brink of burnout, in order to reach peak performance and grow their business even more than they could have done otherwise. So he's also the best selling author of a book called The One day body upgrade, which we'll put the link in the show notes at intuitive leadership. mastery.com. Welcome, Olli.

Thanks for having me. Thanks for having me.
Michaela Light 03:50
Absolutely. Now, why is always talk about health matter to entrepreneurs, some entrepreneurs are gonna be like, well, I, you know, I've got a business run, I can't deal with my health.
Ollie Matthews 04:04
I say what happens if you had to have two free months off and you were sick? Who would run your business? How would your business run without you? That would be my one sentence or two sentences, however many that was to say to them, how important to be is to be healthy. And not just that, how important it is to show up in a high level of performance in your business, because there's showing up and then they're showing up optimally, so your business can thrive. Because so many people are just showing up day in day out, getting things done when they could be actually being more productive and earning more money as a result.
Michaela Light 04:47
So you might actually say your body is your business.
Ollie Matthews 04:51
It is as I've said, this tagline came around. So in an interview, we were in entrepreneurs retreat, it was off the coast of Korea. issues, absolutely amazing place, and then suddenly, your body is your business and is stuck since then because your body is your business. Without a sustainable body, you haven't got a sustainable or scalable business, it's just so true. Because we're just not going to grow our business, you're not going to be the leader for your team, and your employees, you're not going to be the leader and the person, the coach or mentor, you need to be for clients potentially. And it's not just that for family as well. And for friends that and for ourself. I think that's one of the most important things, if we can show up better for ourselves, then we have less ailments and this psychological things that go on with our health as well.
