140. I'm Taking A Sabbatical: Why I've Decided To Take An Extended Break & How I'm Making It Happen

Made for More with Amanda Kolbye

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I am taking a sabbatical! And in this episode, I'm sharing all the behind-the-scene details of that decision and the logistics to make it happen. I'm getting into everything from why I need an extended break to what the goals of time away are for me, and a sneak peek of what is to come when I return (hint, things are going to be A LOT different). This sabbatical will definitely be a leraning experience for me, and I'm happy to share the journey with you all in case it is something you may consider now or in the future! In this episode, we cover…

• The lack of resources out there for taking a sabbatical as an entrepreneur
• Mindset shifts needed when you decide to take a break
• 5 steps to consider logistics in extended time away from the business
• A preview of what will be changing for the business upon my return
• The role of life and mental health in my decision to take a sabbatical now

Quotes "I've really had to kind of figure this out on my own, and if I'm being 100 percent honest, I'm taking an experimental approach here, which, yes, if you're wondering, is fucking terrifying" "If you make it happen, it is a very rare, intentional, and undivided time to have for yourself. To have no other responsibilities, to reflect, to focus on whatever it is that you are needing to focus on." "You're a human being before you're a CEO... Remember this isn't a game. This isn't an Instagram feed. This is also your literal life. You are the only one that has to wake up every day. And so you better make sure you're fucking happy. You better make sure you fucking like yourself and what you're doing. And that you're living life."
