High Achiever vs. Overachiever - Achieve Your Goals Without Burning Out

Successful Women Think Differently

Being an overachiever is dangerous.

Overachievers often feel the need to constantly prove themselves through accomplishments, and tend to burnout because they’re never satisfied with how far they’ve come.
