I'm Leaving My Business For a Month. Here's Why... | 164

So in about a week, I'm going to step away from my business for an entire month.
That's right. I'm leaving my business, taking a month long sabbatical for the month of July.
And today I thought I'd bring you in on this process, because it really ties into what I teach, what I preach and what I believe.

I could have just kept this private, but I decided to be a little more public about it and use it as an opportunity to encourage you. I think there's a stigma around taking long breaks and taking periods of rest. Vacations last, maybe a week or two for most Americans, and turns out that business owners are actually the worst at taking breaks and not working for longer periods of time.

I am the antithesis of the hashtag hustle culture. It is a badge I wear proudly. And so today, we're going to dive in head first into this mindset. In this episode I'm going to explain to you why I'm taking a month long sabbatical, what benefits I think will accrue to me in taking that month off, how I've experienced sabbaticals in the past, (both good and bad), what some of my mental scripts are that actually almost prevented me from taking the sabbatical this year and then I got a little challenge for you at the end that you don't want to miss! Let's dive in!

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why I'm taking a month long sabbatical and how I believe that will benefit my business
• What the stigma is around taking breaks for business owners, and how you can start to come out of the mental scripts that are holding you back
• How to tap into a creative superpower for your business - by actually not doing anything business related

Hope you enjoy!
