The thought of stepping away from your business can feel overwhelming, stirring worries about clients, revenue, and whether all your hard work will unravel. For solopreneurs, the pressure to constantly produce can make even the idea of a month off feel risky.
In this lesson of Sabbatical School, Maegan helps you see that fear clearly, while exploring the natural cycles that sustain real business growth. You’ll learn practical strategies to protect your business while you step back, and why slowing down doesn’t mean losing momentum—it means regenerating it.
This episode helps you trust your business ecosystem, create systems that support you while you’re away, and step into your sabbatical with confidence rather than anxiety.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- How to recognize the layers of fear that make stepping away feel risky. [03:34]
- Why natural cycles of growth, integration, and rest are essential for sustainable business momentum. [05:31]
- How scheduling content and communications in advance helps maintain your presence while away. [08:02]
- Ways that automating essential business systems can allow your operations to run smoothly without your daily attention. [08:49]
- How to invite light-touch support or set up simple out-of-office systems to protect your peace. [09:08]
- Why trusting the roots you’ve already planted—relationships, reputation, and impact—is the most powerful way to maintain momentum. [10:20]
Sabbatical School is a seven-month program designed to help solopreneurs prepare their business and nervous system for a real month-long sabbatical. The second month focuses on understanding your relationship with time and building the systems to keep your business running while you step away. You’ll receive live coaching on practical steps, alongside deeper work on releasing conditioning, re-imagining your relationship with time, and learning to rest fully.
