The secret to taking time off while being a passionate entrepreneur is…. 🥁
First of all – thanks everyone who shared the wisdom on taking a holiday while running your own business!
After reading your comments – I went straight to airbnb and booked a chalet in the mountains of Andorra.
[Irina Benfrid thanks for the cautionary tale that however you spin it – having a mental and physical break is essential!]
When we arrived, we realised that THERE WAS NO WIFI in our stone home.
On top of that, turns out that Andorra has obnoxious mobile data charges, so… it was a great excuse to just switch our phones right off. [thanks, Daniel Broby, PhD for the top tip!]
Bliss!
I must admit, I still managed to sneak out of the house while baby and hubby were napping – and recorded a new video for my YouTube channel (hopeless!)…
But – I felt really in the flow while doing it, and was so present with ma Boyz for the rest of the day, so I think it was worth it!
[Anna Wolas – I tapped into your recommendation to ride the wave of inspiration]
These were the 3 most refreshing days of the year!
And on return, oddly, I found out that 3 new people signed up to the Autumn cohort of our Fully Booked Coach program.
The magic of doing less! [thanks Danielle Robins EMCC for being my kickass enrolments fairy 🧚🏼♀️]
To summarise – here are the ingredients of a quality holiday for someone who’s finding it hard to disconnect:
🚗 get out of your usual space/home (we live by the sea, but even so – it’s hard to have a holiday when everything reminds me of my usual routine)
🌲go to nature (those positive ions!)
🔇switch off your phone (seriously! the world won’t fall apart)
💫 ride the wave of inspiration if it catches you (better out than in)
How was your break & what would you add to this list?

And… if you’re a Coach reading this and ready to get your coaching practice fully booked this year (so that you can’t wait to get back to work after each holiday 😉
➡️ then get in touch! We have 3 more spots in our Autumn cohort available. DM me for details.
Have a great ‘Back to School’ month everyone 🏫
