Afraid to start my 3rd business after a burnout - how not to overdo it next time??

[neens]

I read The Millionaire Fastlane while on holiday last year and loved it - I was especially inspired by the idea of a starting a scaleable business which has true potential for great earnings. I started my first business 7 years ago and the sold it to start a new venture in fashion retail (a childhood dream). I then sold that business due to ill health - I was over enthusiastic, took WAY too much on my plate and ended up with an extremely severe burnout. It took 3 months of therapy and taking it easy for 18 months until I've now reached the stage where I'm getting enthusiastic about a new niche fashion idea. By the way I've been freelancing as an internet marketer during that time, which pays well but frustrates me because I'm growing other people's businesses and not my own.

Does anyone have advice on how to cope with being an over enthusiastic, invincible, workaholic entrepreneur? I used to work all hours and didn't notice I was putting such pressure on my health because, well, being an entrepreneur is such a buzz. I became over obsessive, single-minded and razor focused on my business. And I forgot about me. I guess this sounds familiar to a lot of you, but how do you stop short of making yourself really ill?
