Taking a sabbatical with April Walker

“My relationship with rest has to continue to evolve because I'm the business, right? I'm the business. And if there's no better investment I can make, it's in myself.” - April Walker 


Taking a sabbatical with April Walker


In today’s podcast, we’re chatting with April Walker about how she invests in her mental wellbeing by taking those well-needed breaks. She also shares how she earns from her speaking engagements, how she declines organizations who don’t stand for what she believes in, and how she informs clients when taking sabbaticals.


Highlights:

  1. You are the business. Without you, your business isn’t going anywhere so make sure you take those breaks from time to time, and make sure you really leave work behind when taking time off.
  2. We need to set boundaries with our clients. If they don’t stand for what you stand for, then what’s the point?
  3. Learn how to know your worth. If you always get an immediate yes, then you should’ve asked for more.
