Have you ever just needed to take a break from your business? Whether it’s health issues, a big move to another city, furthering your education or just family stuff, sometimes, life might require you to put your coaching business on the back burner. My guest today is Briana Wyatt who guides ambitious professionals to live more bravely, EMBOLDENED by self-trust, self-love and sacred power. Briana has been going through some major life shifts that require her to step back from her business. And though she knows a sabbatical is in order, she’s worried about feeling like she has to start again from scratch when she is ready to return to her business.
&nbsp;
So, the two of us talked through a process she can use to take a break while ensuring her business still has a pulse. Here’s the process we went through together:
&nbsp;
<ol>
 <li>Understand the two seasons every business flows between</li>
 <li>Paint a clear picture of what a sabbatical looks + feels like</li>
 <li>Identify any obstacles that might prevent that picture from becoming reality</li>
 <li>Clarify success metrics to manage the obstacles</li>
 <li>
 Outline small and measurable actions to balance time off with time connected to the business
 &nbsp;
 </li>
</ol>
Key Takeaways
<ul>
 <li>Normalize Sabbaticals in Entrepreneurship: It's essential to understand that periods of containment and rest are natural and necessary for long-term growth and sustainability, but it doesn't mean losing progress</li>
 <li>Creation Without Pressure: Embrace the process of creating and working on projects for the sake of personal fulfillment and growth, rather than immediate business results</li>
 <li>Maintain Agency and Flexibility: Set small, attainable goals that align with your values and provide a sense of daily or weekly achievement without overwhelming pressure</li>
 <li>Define Personal Success Metrics: Establish clear, personalized metrics to measure success during a sabbatical&nbsp;</li>
 <li>Maintain Community and Connection: Engage in activities that foster community and connection without the intent of client attraction</li>
</ul>
