When Was Your Last Break?
Do you dream of a seaside vacation?
and a chance to recharge and renew, but are worried your business will suffer if you take time off?
I did, too.
When I started my business and for about a full year after, I was full steam ahead every waking moment. Oh, I took trips and “time off” — usually a few hours here and there or a vacation with massive time spent on my laptop. But I still squeezed in calls and continued to work while everyone around me was fully immersed in the activities and scenery around us.
Farewell, Panama City Beach!
We just got back from a socially distanced trip on the Gulf of Mexico, and I would be lying if I said I didn't work at all this week. But instead of my usual 30 to 40 hours, I worked about an hour a day, mostly in the morning when the family was still sleeping or just waking up or checking a few emails before bed. But the majority of the day was for fun, sun, and no work talk!
And I had FUN! I got lots of rest, playtime with the kids and our friends, and lots of laughs with The Hubs.
Also, I have to brag for a second because our team of 4 girls got second place in the football field sized human maze!! That’s totally a memory that’s more important to me than a day filled with work emails and spreadsheets.
My job and my passion is to help entrepreneurs set up systems and processes so they can have time off, too. Or, at the very least, cut their 60+ hour work week down to something manageable not just for work time but also for family time and self care time.
The reason I can actually be present with my kids all the time, not just during a vacation, slow down, AND have a successful business is that I have built my own systems and delegate to the team I have created. There is no one-woman band anymore.
I want the same for each of you. You deserve to walk along the shore, hike in the woods, or just get a full 8 hours of sleep regularly without terrifying work nightmares about your schedule for the next day.
