Are you quietly killing your business from the inside out? That's exactly what happens when we practice self-abandonment in leadership, putting the business first at all costs until we're running a business that's running over us.As entrepreneurs, we recognize the familiar patterns: saying yes when we mean no, discounting our prices out of fear, taking on misaligned clients for revenue, and overworking ourselves to prove our worth. These behaviors don't build sustainable success—they breed resentment, accelerate burnout, and eventually collapse under the weight of over-giving.The alternative is self-honoring leadership, where boundaries become part of your business model and your schedule includes your needs, not just client demands. Your pricing reflects your true value, not your insecurities. You choose integrity over people-pleasing, saying no to projects that don't align even when it means turning down immediate income. Most challenging of all, you trust yourself to pivot when needed, evolving your business based on what's best for you, not just what's temporarily profitable.The profound truth is that self-honoring builds legacies while self-abandonment builds burnout. Before your next business decision, pause to ask whether you're operating from fear or love, scarcity or trust, obligation or integrity. That's how we create businesses that breathe rather than break—businesses that take care of us while we take care of them.Ready to build a business that honors you?
