Let’s talk about the moment.
You know the one.
Not the champagne-popping, we-hit-7-figures moment.
Not the “OMG, they said yes to working with me” moment.
No.
I’m talking about the other moment.
Importantly, it’s the one you don’t post on Instagram because it’s not exactly “feed-worthy.”
The one where:
-
- You’re staring at your laptop like it’s an alien life form that you somehow married.
-
- Your shoulders feel like they’re storing enough tension to power a small city.
-
- You’re running on caffeine, sarcasm, and maybe questionable takeout sushi from three nights ago.
And in your head you’re muttering things like:
“I’ve had too much.”
“I don’t know if I can do this anymore.”
“Is it socially acceptable to just… run away?”
“What is this all for?”
Consequently, my friend — you’ve arrived at the breaking point.
What Is the Breaking Point, Really?
The breaking point isn’t just exhaustion.
It’s not just stress.
Additionally, it’s a set point — the mind, the body, the energy, and yes, even the history you’ve been lugging around like an emotional carry-on bag — that you’ve been sitting at for years.
It’s that invisible limit you keep bouncing up against.
And here’s the kicker:
You can hit it whether you’re scaling like crazy or slowing down.
Furthermore, you can hit it when you’re winning on paper but quietly crumbling behind the scenes.
You can hit it while sipping green juice or while ordering your third whiskey neat.
Understanding how to know you’re at a breaking point often requires noticing the subtle patterns you’d rather ignore.
How It Shows Up
Here’s how I’ve seen it (both in myself and in clients):
The Escape Artist Mode
One client started using alcohol to take the edge off. His business wasn’t tanking — but his expenses and financial leaks were multiplying like rabbits. Moreover, he wasn’t avoiding work… he was avoiding feeling.
The “RV and Run” Fantasy
Another client, after 20 years in his passion business, started googling RVs and world travel because his work wasn’t turning into the millions he’d envisioned. Then — boom — his wife had a brain aneurysm. As a result, the crisis jolted him back to life. Suddenly, the very work he was trying to escape became the thing he wanted to pour himself into again.
The “Are You Done Yet?” Trap
You start hearing it from friends, family, maybe even clients: “So… are you still doing that thing?” And inevitably, some little voice in your head starts wondering if they’re right.
The Sneaky Signs You’re at (or Near) Breaking Point
Be honest — which of these feel familiar?
-
- You’ve been “checking out” more often — mentally, emotionally, Netflix-binge-level.
-
- You’re way too tuned in to what other people are doing, and your own work feels like it’s fading into the background.
-
- You’ve fantasized about someone just saving you. (“A rich benefactor would be nice…”)
-
- Your body is throwing shade — headaches, fatigue, weird aches that show up uninvited.
-
- You’ve caught yourself bored with the thing you once couldn’t shut up about.
The Unpopular Truth
The breaking point is not the end.
Instead, it’s the crack where the light comes in.
It’s the moment you get to recalibrate — mind, body, business, mission. Most people don’t realize how to know you’re at a breaking point because it rarely looks dramatic. It looks familiar, subtle, and often deceptively normal.
But most of us treat it like a cliff.
We either:
-
- Throw ourselves over it (aka burn everything down).
-
- Or… cling to the edge with white knuckles, pretending we’re fine.
Your New Breaking Point Strategy
Here’s the play:
1. Acknowledge it.
Stop pretending it’s not happening. Denial is expensive.
2. Get brutally honest about what’s actually breaking.
Is it your body? Your bank account? Your belief in yourself?
3. Recommit — or pivot.
The breaking point is either a full-stop or a wake-up call. Ultimately, you get to choose which.
4. Rebuild your health like it’s part of your business plan (because it is).
You can’t scale if your body’s in foreclosure.
5. Redefine your metrics.
Maybe success right now is “I can breathe again” instead of “I hit $X this month.”
Here’s the Biggie
Your breaking point is a mirror, not a monster.
It’s showing you what’s been quietly running the show for years.
So…
What’s your breaking point?
And what if crossing it is the exact thing that finally sets you free?
