66. Why Resting Is Productive For Your Business (& Makes You Money)

Are you actually being productive with your time? Or are you staying busy and working 24/7 in your business without the results to show for it? I hate to break it to you, but more work doesn’t necessarily equate to more money. What if I told you that resting and recharging will do more for you and your business than working nonstop ever will? 

 

Look, you probably don’t need to be convinced that rest is good, but you might need to rewire the internal narrative telling you that rest is bad.

 

In today’s episode, I am sharing --from someone who used to have this core belief to someone who now operates very differently-- how resting and recharging will 100% amplify your business growth and be seen as a money-making activity. I’m going deep on topics like how to use your natural energy to do more in less time, why cranking through your to-do list is a different mode to high-level, strategic thinking (and why rest impacts both), and the four biggest fears surrounding rest that might prevent you from actually resting and prioritizing recharging yourself. 

 

This episode is so necessary, especially if you’re an entrepreneur trying to do all the things in your business. Click that play button to learn why prioritizing rest will help you get productive, motivated, and creative again. 

 

In this episode, we cover…

• What happens when you don’t rest and recharge
• The seven different types of rest and why they are all important
• How to shift the alternative perspective of rest
• The grey area between working like crazy and laziness
• Why your energy management will help determine how you need to rest and recharge

 

“Recognize that rest is a choice, and it’s a reflection of your values. You have to value rest to choose it and to allow it to recharge you.” - Amanda Kolbye

 

“If you start to value rest, you’ll start choosing it more, and your actions will start to realign to make rest present and apparent and a priority in your life and in the way that you operate.” - Amanda Kolbye

 

“When you learn how to incorporate rest and recharging into your normal life, I promise, you will come back 10 times more powerful and 10 times more productive and efficient. With brilliant ideas just spewing out of you. You will amplify your income and your business growth, and you’re going to feel good doing it.” - Amanda Kolbye
