Don't Burn Out
Stand Out

The entrepreneur’s guide to success without sacrifice.

Life as an entrepreneur can feel like 100-miles an hour. There is always something else to be done to keep the business thriving, and the constant pressure to perform well can become overwhelming and stressful. With 51% of UK business owners having experienced burnout since the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic, Bethany believes that to avoid burnout, balancing working life and wellbeing should be non-negotiable.

For more than a decade Bethany has provided award-winning services alongside her team, helping thousands of people improve their health and wellbeing. In her new book Don’t Burn Out, Stand Out, she explains how people can operate effectively as a business leader, whilst improving their health, wellbeing and personal lives at the same time.

Broken down into easy-to-read chapters, the book outlines Bethany’s PROSPER model, a summary of the seven key characteristics entrepreneurs need to harmonise their health, wellbeing and working lives.

Who is the book for?

Drawing on Bethany’s wealth of expertise combined with stories from both her own journey and the lives of other successful entrepreneurs, the book is a masterclass in how to prevent burnout without sacrificing business performance.

Throughout, she explores a range of psychological theories and wellbeing techniques, as well as topics such as time management, navigating imposter syndrome, identifying purpose, overcoming procrastination and optimising the working environment. The book reinforces the fact that when business leaders neglect themselves, it can lead to irritability, fatigue, low mood, stress, and illness, all of which pose both a risk to personal happiness and the health of any business.

Having battled with burnout on several occasions, I wish I could have read this book sooner. It's a really informative book which is split into easy to read chapters - perfect for those extremely busy people, likely to suffer burnout. I loved the perfect balance of theoretical knowledge, easy to remember models and real life case studies that Bethany uses. I've already started using the PROSPER model to help prevent future burnout. Thanks for writing a really valuable book, Bethany.

This is a superb book and a helpful aid to anyone wanting to succeed in running their business, but equally could be a support for those in other walks of life too. I loved the different coping techniques and strategies. There’s lots of great tips on how to relax and keep yourself centred, particularly when dealing with difficult situations on the work front. The PROSPER model sounds so simple and obvious, yet it probably covers every base when it comes to maintaining good mental health and avoiding burnout. I love how all the strategies are backed up by sound theory by experts in psychology and such like and it is an easily accessible read for anyone with some great case study stories too. All in all a must read for entrepreneurs and also anyone who works in highly stressful and demanding careers.

This book is as essential to an entrepreneur as any book that helps your business grow. Without keeping a check on stress levels, burnout is a real thing. This book has some great tips and techniques to ensure that your wellbeing is a strong as your business.

Such a great read, lovely strategies on how to deal with burn out and most importantly the importance of well being
