Not gonna lie – taking a week off is hard

I lost a dear friend last week, and yet...

→ I kept showing up at work

→ I kept all my meetings on schedule

→ I kept working all day long to meet July's goals.

I did not allow myself to grieve properly,

because I was terrified that if I stopped

the entire business would stop.

But here’s what I did NOT realize:

It doesn't matter how much book knowledge you have about grief

Your mental health doesn't care anything about that.

If you need a break, take that DAMN break

I understand that as an entrepreneur / solopreneur

→ It is incredibly uncomfortable to step away from the business for a week

→ or to reschedule 20+ meetings and postpone a few projects

But remember

→ You started this business to CHANGE your life.

→ You didn't start this business to BECOME your life.

We are all amazing, and we’re all trying our best—and that's what truly matters. 🌱

But........If you need a break, take that damn break!!
