Just as our bodies are designed to go through cycles of activity, play and rest, our businesses should be, too. In this episode, Sarah Magidoff helps us adopt the #SlowEntrepreneur mindset; a movement she started to help other business owners combat burnout, create better boundaries and add more margin in their daily life for the things that matter most.

 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS & TOPICS DISCUSSED:

• Sarah shares her career journey and how a desired lifestyle change led her to the work she does today.
• Sarah explains what inspired her to coin the term "slow entrepreneur" and how this philosophy is combating the one-dimensional "hustle" mindset that has been modelled for us in the entrepreneurial space.
• We discuss the concept of 'rest' and how it can actually be looked at as an active vs. inactive practice. Sarah suggests replacing the word 'rest' with 're-charge' to help us better shift our perspective.
• Sarah encourages preparation and communication in conjunction with setting boundaries in order to combat any feelings of guilt that we might experience from doing so. 
• We explore Sarah's innovative workflow and the boundaries she has put into place to honour her own version of slow entrepreneurship, like her weekly 'wandering wednesdays' and quarterly 'insta vacays'. 
• Sarah shares her vision for the future of the slow entrepreneur movement and what we can expect to see from her in the coming months.
• Sarah leaves us with one simple action item to kickstart our slow entrepreneur journey.
