The Story of the Burnt-Out Boss

Ben has built his business from the ground up, but at what cost? Late nights, skipped meals, and a never-ending to-do list have drained him. He knows he should take a break, but every time he does, guilt creeps in. Self-care feels like an impossible luxury when there’s always work to do.

One evening, after yet another 14-hour workday, he finds a small card tucked between his files. “Too Hot to Handle”. He smirks at the pun, but something about it sticks. Maybe he really is burning himself out. Maybe, just maybe, he is too hot to handle right now. That night, for the first time in months, he shuts his laptop early.

That one moment of realization changed everything. Ben started leaving little reminders for himself—small but powerful messages that told him his well-being mattered. He no longer wore exhaustion as a badge of honor. Instead, he chose balance.

If you’re running on fumes, this is your sign: pause, breathe, and reset. Too Hot to Handle isn’t just a phrase—it’s a wake-up call. Grab your card today.
