Taking Time Off Work: Slowing Down To Speed Up

I took summer off running my business and guess what, my business didn’t break. In fact I had a huge money month whilst doing the minimum because of the way I’ve set up my business to operate seasonally, cyclically, and without me being ON all the time. 

In business taking time off feels scary in case we drop the ball and fall behind. Yet I believe that taking a whole season off growing my business is helping me leap forward faster and stronger in my business than if I'd soldiered on. I took the entire summer away from working on on my business, and found that by stepping out, I could gladly spend my energy with my family where its needed, and trust that my business won't collapse in the meantime. I've set up structures to allow my income to keep flowing, clients to be served and my own health prioritised so I don't need to be on all the time. This allowed me the chance to re-evaluate the work I am doing, ensure its deeply aligned and of the highest service, so I can work smarter this year and grow sustainably - instead of grinding myself into burn out. This is cyclical business.

Tune in as I share how my intention this year to go bold not hard has looked in quarter 1 of 2024 so far:

Why I took the summer off, How a cyclical and seasonal approach to business has served me to do this, Why we need to vary strategy, mindset and business tasks by menstrual cycle season, and season of life, How the same approach doesn't keep serving as you grow if you're multipassionate, and as you and your clients evolve. The foundational tasks I have been focused on this season to help me get the right base established, before diving into creation / launch / growth season. 

Here's why, and how you can too.
