[Biz 63] Thoughts from the other side of a mini-sabbatical (fueled by burnout)

<p>I intentionally began doing less in my business back in November 2021 after a lifetime of doing <em><strong>the most</strong></em>. I thought closing my gym would organically fix the problem.... it didn't. What started as a break to recover from burnout turned into essentially haulting my online business for months on end. Have you noticed? Maybe. Maybe not. Interesting, right?</p> <p>After a slower pace for months, I wasn't feeling any less burnt out. It wasn't until I looked at <strong><em>how</em></strong> I was resting that everything changed. It lead to another months long break from doing really much of anything "business" related for months.</p> <p><strong>Am I coming to you with the big juicy secret on how to do just that? How to make gobs and gobs of money while you do damn near nothing at all for months?</strong></p> <p>No. Because what you probably don't remember is that earlier this year, I pulled the plug at the tail end of a really big launch. What was initially designed to 3x my 2021 income before the end of Q1 this year turned into the possibility of 6x-ing it in just as little time.</p> <p>I felt nothing but dread. "<em><strong>Well that's new. W</strong></em><em><strong>hy and how could more money make anyone feel dread?</strong></em></p> <p>So, I rested because there was obviously something wrong with me. CLEARLY! Clearly I am depressed and this is an emergency!</p> <p><em><strong>I needed to rest until I felt better about making more money than ever before.</strong></em></p> <p>The day never came. I didn't start to feel better until I decided to rest until I felt like I <em><strong>wanted</strong></em> to create in this way again. The day has come. This episode is a highly uncurated & messy stream-of-consciousness, but juicy business nuggets throughout are guaranteed. Buckle in.</p>
