In Australia, it’s our big break, and if you’re in the U.S. or the UK, your major school holidays or holiday season might be approaching too.

Today, I’m diving into a better approach. We’re talking about how to take intentional, strategic breaks so that your business continues to grow—even while you’re enjoying holiday time. I’ll share how I shifted from feeling constantly behind to having a business that sustains itself during my time off.
