As entrepreneurs and real estate CEOs, we often wear "hustle" like a badge of honor, but what if rest was the ultimate power move? In this episode of The Lara Jane Layton Show, I, Shalece Daniels, share my journey from burning the candle at both ends to embracing Radical Rest—a concept that changed my life and my business.
Radical Rest is about more than just taking time off; it’s about finding what truly restores you. For me, rest has looked like climbing mountains, lounging in a hammock, and taking dance breaks during workdays. It’s about breaking free from the “normal” ways of recharging and crafting a rest practice that aligns with your unique needs.
Here’s what we dive into:
- Rest as a Revenue Driver: How taking intentional time for restoration has sharpened my creativity, decision-making, and business growth.
- The myths of hustle culture: Why working harder doesn’t always equate to success and how rest helps you scale smarter, not harder.
- Practical tools for starting today: I share how the Focus Keeper app or a simple hourglass can help you structure work and rest periods effectively.
- My Costa Rica experience: How stepping away from the grind to slow down in Costa Rica inspired me to build systems that allow me to live and work on my terms.
- Radical Rest Retreats: Learn about my upcoming retreat in Costa Rica, where we combine intentional rest with activities that leave you feeling recharged and inspired.
If you’ve ever felt like you can’t afford to slow down, this episode will show you why rest isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re a real estate investor, property manager, or entrepreneur, this conversation will inspire you to redefine success and reclaim your time without guilt.
