So many of us began working independently as a way to have increased flexibility and control over our time. So why do so many freelancers and independents find it so difficult to actually...take time off? It's so easy to get caught up in the same hustle mentality many of us were so eager to get away from, or to get stuck in a scarcity mindset—what if there’s no more work? Will my clients be okay with this? Can my income take the hit? As a result, we hold ourselves back from the flexibility we have to really rest and reset, have unique experiences, and make the self-employed life more sustainable.
Last summer, I took five weeks off—in a row—and my freelance business didn't fall apart. In fact, after I came back, I was totally thriving—and so was my business.
Join us for a practical, hands-on workshop where we'll:
- Explore our mindset around rest, play, and vacation, and see where you might be holding yourself back.
- Determine what a great vacation or Sabbatical would look like for you, and what purpose it would serve.
- Walk through my framework and checklist for planning long stretches of time off that you can follow to plan your own.
- Understand how to make a long break financially possible.
Plus, a Q&A at the end for all of your burning questions on how to take more time off without feeling totally anxious or guilty the whole time.
If one of your goals for this year is to build a more sustainable freelancing business, or take more time off, or do something you've never done before—this is the workshop for you. Come get inspired to make it happen—and leave with the practical tools you need to plan your own Sabbatical, step-by-step.
