Fact is that many high performers show only the successfull part of their story (and hiding the fails or burnouts).

For me a high performer is someone who can achieve good (not always perfect) business results, but still keep the body & mind wellbeing on a high level - on a long term

You’re right! Being healthy is the most essential for sustenance in our business/career/sources of income.

Yeah it's a foundation of everything

Having mind & body in good condition means high levels of energy, creativity, motivation and commitment - essential for getting business results

Can definitely see myself in your article Edmond! I've found out for myself that hard work alone does not burn me out. But what really burns me is if I am doing something for longer time and that doesn't fit within my goals or if my work doesn't necessary fit the expectations I've set for myself.

That's why when I was a Senior Software Engineer and didn't know what "the next step" is going to be -> that really demotivated me and was burning me out.
