In this episode, Joanne talks about the importance of taking a break from your business when your self employed. She stresses the importance of reframing our mindset so we feel less guilty about taking a step back and instead seeing breaks as an investment in our business, with a better work output and a refreshed mind.

Joanne discusses the concept of us having a 'social battery', an energy source that gets depleted and needs fully recharging from time to time in order for us to operate at our best in our business. She identifies the most common signs that your social battery needs recharging and ways you can make sure you do this before you burnout. She also discusses the benefits to your business when you actually take that break, including renewed creativity, drive, focus and motivation.

Joanne dispels the fears that a lot of self employed people have about losing their business if they take time away from it and provides her tips on the things you can do to prepare for a 'business break' so you can enjoy it guilt free.

This episode is full of tips and advice to help women in business manage the stress of being self employed and learn how taking a break can actually make you MORE money in the long run.
