This year, I’ve been able to step FULLY away from my business for a couple of weeks and it has been amazing. It’s been a long time coming. It wasn’t easy by any means. But after I finally took the leap and took the time away, I realized how important it truly is. Listen in to hear how I stepped away from my business for a week.
To give you a bit of perspective, I was the person who was constantly checking Voxer and constantly in my email box. I was convinced that if I didn’t respond right away, my clients would decide that they weren’t investing properly. This is in spite of the fact that my onboarding was very clear about my hours and how I communicate.
It took until I was completely away from all service and internet for several days for me to realize how entrenched I really was. I had the systems in place to allow me to take time away, but I wasn’t doing it. I had the boundaries in place, but I was crossing them.
Sound familiar?
Listen in to hear all of my tips on how to create systems and processes in your business to be able to take time away when you need it. Because we all need that time. We all need space to refresh and rekindle our creative reserves.
