From Burnout to Balance
Michael Torres - Entrepreneur
The Before
I was the definition of a workaholic. I ran three businesses, worked 90-hour weeks, and couldn't remember the last time I took a day off.
I told myself I loved the hustle. I wore my exhaustion like a badge of honor. I judged people who worked less as lazy or uncommitted.
But the truth? I was terrified of stopping. Work was how I avoided feeling anything. If I stopped, I'd have to face the emptiness, the anxiety, the fear that I wasn't enough.
My health was declining. My marriage was on the rocks. I hadn't seen my friends in months. I was making great money and living a terrible life.
I knew I was burning out, but I couldn't stop. I didn't know how to exist without constant achievement.
The Turning Point
I ended up in the ER with chest pains. The doctors said it was a panic attack, not a heart attack. But it was a wake-up call.
Lying in that hospital bed, I realized: I was killing myself for businesses that would replace me in a heartbeat. I was sacrificing my health, my marriage, my life—for what? More money I didn't have time to enjoy?
My wife gave me an ultimatum: get help or get a divorce. I chose help.
The Transformation
Getting Unbound was brutal at first. I had to confront why I couldn't stop working, what I was avoiding, what I was trying to prove.
I discovered I was using work to avoid feeling inadequate. I learned that my worth had been tied to productivity since childhood. I realized I'd never learned to just... be.
The program taught me that rest isn't weakness—it's wisdom. That 'enough' is a real concept, not just something lazy people say. That I could be valuable even when I wasn't producing.
Learning to rest without guilt was the hardest thing I've ever done. Harder than building my businesses. Harder than any deal I'd closed. Because it required me to face the fear that without achievement, I was worthless.
But gradually, I learned. I cut my work hours from 90 to 40. I started taking weekends off. I actually went on vacation with my wife. I reconnected with friends. I took up hobbies that had nothing to do with productivity.
And here's the crazy part: my businesses didn't suffer. They actually improved. When I stopped working from burnout and started working from strategy, I became more effective. I made better decisions. I built better teams. I created more sustainable systems.
The Results
Reduced work hours from 90 to 40 per week
Businesses grew 35% with less time investment
Saved his marriage and reconnected with wife
Restored health and eliminated panic attacks
Learned to rest without guilt
Developed work-life balance and sustainable success
Actually enjoys his life now
In Their Words
"The Seeker's Path didn't just help me navigate my awakening—it helped me understand that my awakening was the most important thing that ever happened to me. What I thought was a breakdown was actually a breakthrough into the life my soul came here to live. I'm forever grateful."
