Taking Time Off Your Business Without The Stress
It can be hard to take time off as a solopreneur. And, as we come towards the end of the year, I know we are ALL thinking about the end of the year and hopefully taking a break. But it can also bring stress of getting more done to "finish the year strong" or if your business can even survive a few weeks with you not working.
Let's talk about how you can set yourself up so you can take time off without your business coming to a complete stand still.
And, if you want more, come and join us for the SOlopreneur Sabbatical Workshop this week: Wednesday 16th Oct 5pm PT | Thursday 17th Oct 11am AEDT

    This was good! I have an unofffical community but want to make it official. But don't want to go the FB community route. I want it to be intentional, paid (people only value free to a certain extent, in my experience, but won't make it astronomically high), unique to me, and the challenges my community faces. This gave me some ideas on how to get started. Thank you!

    OMG...I really got to observe this in myself recently with- of all things -rearranging my living room. I spent about 2 months thinking and planning on where things were going to move to. I had it figured out WAY before the 2 month mark, but I still just kept on with the thinking and planning. I feel like I thought my things would move themselves if I thought about it hard enough? Or just the thought of what a big job it was going to be kept me from starting at all. Anyway, I did finally just start...and once I did I kept going until it was done. It WAS just as big as I thought it would be, BUT also not, if that makes sense. Just. Starting. It's still my biggest obstacle even when I KNOW it'll be just fine.

    • @KatherineMackenzieSmith
      @KatherineMackenzieSmith 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's so true! I learnt recently that we're taught to "do the hardest task first" but for many of us, that leads to more procrastination and overwhelm when we should actually start with the EASIEST, or the most fun task first, get a little dopamine, and then that helps to roll onto the next thing. You're so not alone, Jenni!

    Thank you so much Katherine . At the moment I am working on my website ( very slow process to me because I have the tendency to focus on the details and I am overthinker 🤣) . You actually gave me a great idea to share about my website on my TH-cam Chanel . Suddenly I felt inspired to ask my subscribers what services would they be interested in to see if I could add something new maybe what they need not just what I think it’s good for them . I really hope that once my website will be launched here on my TH-cam Chanel I could attract more traffic into my website .. it would be one of the ways to let people know about my services .. 😇🙏

      @KatherineMackenzieSmith ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh gosh that's a lot! And, as an Australian, I have been in that position so many times before looking at stuff in the US. Personally, I didn't end up using anything but the weekly spreads and I didn't even want to pay the extra $20 it went up this year so I don't think it's worth $150 in shipping but it's definitely up to you and what you need!!

    This is golden! I agree that there are just a looot of coaches that caters to the extroverted. Your input in the space is very important. I love your insights, especially about where to focus my energy to. I feel so seen and validated! Just want to suggest ways to make your videos click worthy: make your titles shorter. It doesnt have to be detailed. Click bait titles suck but since your content is gold, viewers are in for a treat. I also suggest to improve your video covers by using just one type of font and not a fancy one on the titles. Also use one color. Try copying Jenna Rainey's cover photos, the font style and the color as it matches your color pallete, but you do whatever you think works for you as long as its one font style. The word introvert and business in the title made me click this video. I feel this is your brand and it is something a lot of people will relate to, including me. Looking forward to watch more of your content!
