Episode notes

As entrepreneurs, it can be quite difficult for us to take the right kind of rest. Countless things vie for our time and attention. And even when we do manage some downtime, we can be plagued by feelings of guilt, restlessness or even fear. But what if taking the right kind of rest could actually increase your productivity, creativity and ability to problem solve?

With these questions in mind, I interviewed Alyson Caffrey, a small business Operations Strategist, the Bestselling Author of The Sabbatical Method, and the founder of Operations Agency. First, Alyson and I discussed how women, especially, feel we have to justify rest. Then Alyson related several powerful truths, including acclimating to ascend, building a business to thrive without you, channeling a sabbatical personality, and acting rather than reacting.

“If we’re building a business that can’t function without us, then we might need to reconcile with the fact that we could be building a personal life that can.” – Alyson Caffrey
