#373 - Saying No, Even to Yourself: Avoiding Founder Burnout
Monday, 26 January, 2026
In this episode, I speak about the importance of saying no—not just to others, but also to myself and my own ideas. I reflect on feeling overwhelmed by work and the many projects that compete for my attention, and I realize the need to prioritize tasks that directly contribute to my business’s financial success. I question the role of this podcast in that equation and consider whether I should continue it, make it more sustainable, or shift focus. I share honest thoughts on burnout, the pursuit of financial freedom, and the risk of becoming a slave to my own ambitions. I also reach out to you for feedback on supporting the show, perhaps with a Buy Me a Coffee page, or whether you’d like to hear more interviews and guest episodes. Let me know what resonates with you and how you deal with these challenges as an entrepreneur!Links and mentions: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiago-ferreira-48562095/ Twitter: https://x.com/wbetiago Email: tiago@podsqueeze.com Podsqueeze: https://podsqueeze.comTimestamps: 01:10 – The power of saying no: to others and myself 03:45 – Feeling overwhelmed and the hidden cost of too many side projects 05:20 – Connecting tasks to revenue and questioning the podcast’s sustainability 07:55 – Burnout, financial pressure, and being a slave to my own ambitions 10:30 – New strategies: stricter prioritization and potential podcast changes 12:10 – Call for feedback: Would you support the podcast or enjoy more interviews?
