Description

Does your business often feel heavy? Like it’s something you have to do, rather than want to?

If this resonates with you, then listen to this episode.

I’ve decided to close down my business… for the whole month of August.

I posted about this recently on LinkedIn, and while it was mostly met with positivity, some questioned how this could be possible without having a negative impact on my business.

I would argue that taking a meaningful break from your business can actually have a hugely positive impact on it. Getting my business to the point where taking a break is possible hasn’t happened by chance. And in this episode, I break down some of a strategies you can use to help you fulfil your needs and show up better for your business and your clients.

Covered in this episode: 

• The positive impacts that taking a break can have on your business.
• How to build a business in a way that allows you to take breaks.
• Frameworks to help you understand what you and your business need.
• The negative effects of not taking a break.
• Are you getting what you want from your business, or just what you can tolerate?
• How to notice the signals that indicate a need for change in your business.
