I was laid off a few months ago and about a month ago I decided to take my passion seriously and work on starting a clothing brand.

I had a lot of great momentum in the start. Designing clothes, planning marketing tactics, finding manufacturers.

But now I feel like I’ve plateaued and getting into the routine to focus on my business is so hard now. I sleep at 4am and wake up at 1pm, go to the gym for a few hours then somehow the rest of the night goes by without being productive. And following my passion and continuing down this path seems scary now because I know my effort will direct reflect how much money I make every month so I need to get back on track.

How do self-employed business owners create a solid routine to keep them productive and prevent burnout to keep continuing to work on their business?
