As a professional with multiple income streams, you are probably no stranger to working hard - very, very hard. You’re used to using your skills and experience, as well as your sheer determination, to break down walls and move mountains. 

I’m not here to weigh in on hustle or anti-hustle culture - you have X for that, and frankly, I think there’s a time and a place for both. I’m just here to say: even superheroes need breaks. 

The data backs this up unequivocally, and the sages of the main religions knew it too - giving even the land a break in the form of a shmita/ sabbatical every 7 years. 

We all obsess about optimizing ourselves and reaching peak efficiency with our hours (guilty!) but the truth is, we’re not machines or robots.

And while you may recognize the value of a full month break or a vacation, it may not be logistically or financially feasible. There are some very real limitations that may hamper even the best-laid “vacation” plans. 

Here’s a reminder that it doesn’t have to be extravagant. A walk in the woods, a day fully offline, a summer Friday tradition, or a weekend in a nearby town are just as magical. 

Find the kind of break that makes sense to you in your current context, and then commit to making it happen.

Your income streams and growth goals will still be here when you come back - and I promise they’ll be easier to tackle then, too ❤️
