You Can’t Outsource Your Capacity

You can outsource your email. You can delegate your schedule.

But you can’t outsource your capacity.

And if you don’t expand what you can hold, your business will break you before it ever breaks through.

This episode is your wake-up call if you’re doing all the right things—scaling, optimizing, hiring—but still feel like you’re about to snap. Because growth isn’t about doing more. It’s about holding more.

In this solo episode, George Bryant peels back the curtain on a topic most entrepreneurs avoid: burnout. But not the kind you think. Burnout isn’t a sign you need more time or tactics—it’s a signal your capacity is maxed.

George walks you through the 4 types of entrepreneurial capacity—mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical—and how each one is the real bottleneck behind your business. You’ll learn how to build capacity from the inside out so you can lead with peace, purpose, and power—without breaking under pressure.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The real reason burnout happens (and why it’s not about your to-do list).
• Why your business will never outgrow your capacity.
• How to expand your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical resilience.
• The myth of “doing more” and the power of being more.
• How to conduct a personal capacity audit—and what to do with the results.
   

Key Takeaways
✔️Burnout is not a workload issue—it’s a capacity issue.
✔️You can’t scale a business beyond your ability to hold what it creates.
✔️The 4 buckets of capacity: Mental (clarity), Emotional (resilience), Spiritual (faith/surrender), and Physical (energy).
✔️Self-honesty, boundaries, stillness, and prioritization are non-negotiable tools.
✔️Growth requires becoming the person who can hold the result—not just doing more.

Audit your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical buckets.
