Stop Your Business Taking Over Your Life

See where you’re out of balance and what to do about it


When Work Takes Over

One day you’re building something brilliant, the next you’re exhausted, disconnected from the people you care about, and wondering when you last felt properly well. Work creeps into weekends, relationships feel like admin, and health becomes something you’ll “sort out later”. But later keeps moving.

How It Works:

This quick, free worksheet shows you exactly where your life is out of balance and helps you make small, practical changes before burnout wins. It’s a simple visual tool that takes five minutes to complete. You’ll rate eight key areas of your life (health, relationships, business, happiness, and more), spot the gaps, and choose one doable action for each. No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just clarity.

A Reality Check

See where your business has quietly taken over and which parts of your life need attention most

Actionable Next Steps

Clear Priorities

A Progress Tracker
