Taking a rest is doing the work


Hello Reader,

Women who decide to start their own business have self-selected themselves as:

  • Ambitious
  • Proactive
  • Creative
  • Risk-takers
  • Go-gettters

Amazing traits and qualities to create the business of your dreams!

But it's also a receipe for exhaustion and burnout.

Based on what I've seen recently, and as a business owner myself, I know this is real.

You're so driven to create the results you want in your business you either forget or disallow yourself from taking the break you need.

You feel guilty and shame yourself into believing taking a break makes you lazy or the reason why you're not getting the results you want in your business.

Stop telling yourself these lies.

There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way.

When you feel drained and exhausted, pushing and powering through is ineffective.

Maybe you already 'know' this, but are your actions showing that you truly know and practice these?

Are you:

  • Pausing and taking a break without guilt but with gratitude?
  • Enjoying the time you're unplugging from work?
  • Truly unplugging in the first place?

If you're not, then it's time to do that.

Taking a break is part of doing the work!

I spent the past week taking breaks because it's the F1 race weekend in Singapore.

Right in the middle of the launch of my new free masterclass.

With proper planning, you can still have pauses and breaks even as you *power through* your goals.

Here's how I did it:

Have a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!
