On the verge of burnout.
You’ve just lost a client.
A team member is off sick.
When it all hits at once, the default reaction is to push through.
But what if the answer to fixing your business is the exact opposite?
In this episode, I share why the first thing I often tell clients when everything is falling apart is that they need to take a break.
Last year, I stepped away for an entire month and came back with more clarity and focus than ever. This year, I did it again.
And nothing broke.
Now, I know our businesses are different, but I’ve seen it work time and time again. And in this episode I share exactly what to do to make it possible, so that you can reap the benefits.
Covered in this episode:
- Why stepping away from your business could be exactly what it needs.
- The 2 key moves you need to make for taking a break to be possible.
- How to manage your finances in a way that allows you to take a month off while still paying the bills.
- What to expect when you return (hint: it’s not chaos).
