339: I Took Five Weeks Off Work, Here's What I Did

At the end of 2021, I decided that I wanted to take a month off of work. I set my systems in place, let everyone know that I would be taking a break, and began my staycation on June 1st. During my time off I learned some valuable and unexpected lessons. For example, I learned I have a lot more agency over my calendar than I thought. I also found that I enjoy writing and my social posts were having a higher impact than they used to. I was able to walk away for five weeks and return, refreshed and enriched, to my business without missing a beat. I officially returned to work on July 12th with a new excitement for what I do. Listen in to learn how I took five weeks off of work and how you can begin to put systems in place so you can take a break without your business suffering. Special Announcement I quietly created an all-in-one online marketing and customer management platform for people who are ready to get real business systems in place. This includes calendars, customer onboarding, email marketing, online courses, and more. This system helped me to slash my tech costs, scale revenue, and win back my time. Every month I am hosting a free live training on a system management topic. Get started and learn more at brandyoufunnels.com. Get Your Free Audio Copy of You Are The Brand Today!
