The Business Still Works. You’re Just Tired.

Your business is not failing.

It still brings in revenue.
It still serves customers.
It still runs.

And you are tired anyway.

That contradiction matters.

Most people assume exhaustion means something is broken.
That if you feel this way, you must have missed a step or stayed too long.

That is not what is happening here.

You have been the through-line.
The steady presence.
The one who noticed small problems before they became real ones.

That kind of attention costs something over time.

Especially in a business you built yourself.
Especially when people rely on you without realizing how much you are holding.

This tiredness is not a signal to work harder.
It is not a warning that you are behind.

It is the natural result of being the person everything has run through.

The business still works because you have been working inside it for a long time.

Nothing is wrong with you for wanting this to feel lighter now.

You have carried a lot.
You are allowed to notice the weight.
