Do you ever have a hard time only MEETING expectations instead of exceeding them?

I’m guilty of it, and I’m sure many listeners are, too. It’s a classic overachiever trait that hits on an important topic in today’s conversation with Melissa Henault: how are you spending your time? Would this energy EXCEEDING expectations at work be better directed somewhere else?

Melissa is a LinkedIn expert, host of the podcast Burnout to All Out, and mom of 3. In this episode, we discuss how overachievement played out in her corporate career and led to burnout – which, in turn, led her to starting her own thing.

Melissa talks about running her seven-figure business while remaining a present and devoted mom, and about mindfully spending money, which allows her to stay in her zone of genius and grow a team that helps her company thrive.

In this episode you’ll hear about:

  • How Melissa “burned the midnight oil” getting her business off the ground for this future vision of her life with more time for herself and her family
  • Using LinkedIn to scale her first business online around her 9-to-5 and exceeding her corporate income within a year and a half
  • Learning to MEET expectations instead of exceed expectations – and how taking this step back can free you to spend this energy on something else
  • The importance of not attaching success to love when it comes to our kids, and pointing their interests in positive, healthy directions
  • Time management, the impact of hiring people with specific expertise, and compensating your employees strategically
  • Melissa’s pitch for LinkedIn: its high SEO ranking; its highest revenue ever this year; content is more likely to be seen here than Instagram or Facebook
