Have you ever wanted to pack up, fly to a new country and forget about your business for a few months? Having your own business comes with many responsibilities. Sometimes, entrepreneurs begin to lose their drive - their passion - after a few years.

So, what should you do in order to give yourself the breathing space you need to remain fully committed and re-energized in your business when you start to feel drained?

Natalie Sisson, founder of The Suitcase Entrepreneur, author, and public speaker joins me on the show today to share why she took a sabbatical from her business after 7 years and how taking a break has impacted her perspective, clarity, and drive to continue. She provides powerful tips on how to plan your sabbatical, the importance of preparing your team, and how taking a few months off affected her sales.

“I think it’s good to step back from your business. Everybody should try it from time to time.”
