The “Workcation” is a Myth — here’s what to do instead.

When I first quit my full-time job as my business had started to grow, I remember sitting on the couch watching TV and working on a translation job for a client thinking “Wow, this is the life! I’m making money in my pajamas, while watching TV — I can’t believe it!” Aww start-up Jenae was so cute and naïve. 

OK, not THAT naïve, it was an is amazing and I am still grateful for such flexibility. This was obviously way before I was worried about my ROTI (return on time investment), gross revenue vs. income and lots more that I came to learn about as I grew as a business owner (spoiler alert: lounging on the couch does not improve productivity) but one thing that many business owners struggle with is this:

What happens if you actually can run your business anywhere anytime? Is it actually a good thing?

Well, I’d argue it’s an amazing thing, but one that can turn toxic faster than you think. 

Now, don’t get me wrong, I can’t imagine running any other type of business. This flexibility supports my lifestyle while still allowing me to show up for my business and my clients but…

There is a toxic side to work flexibility.

How “Vacation Mode” Unlocks Your Prioritization Ninja (Hint: it’s not about self-care)

I know most think of “vacation mode” as that feeling of being on vacation and that’s not what I mean here…but whatever you want to call it, I am capitalizing on it now and it also just came up in a discussion in virtual coworking in the inner circle. PLUS, the great news is you don’t need a postponed wedding to use this trick…So let’s get to it. 💪
