This Multi Seven Figure Business Owner is closing down her business and taking a permanent sabbatical Run Your Business Like A Boss

There is so much expectation on business owners and founders to build their businesses a certain way. I’ll bet you know what I’m talking about - the set of criteria the internet tells you to check off in order to achieve success. This topic is huge for me, and today’s episode was inspired by a multi seven figure business owner who is winding back and taking a permanent sabbatical.
Vanessa Lau is an online business owner who achieved one hundred thousand YouTube subscribers and a six figure business within a year. She was ticking all the boxes and from the outside, it looked like she had everything - the greatest speaking engagements, digital products and huge success on social media.
However, Vanessa found herself on a hamster wheel that she knew would never get off. Although she had achieved so many goals, she found herself losing her quality of life and her mental wellbeing. So recently, Vanessa announced she was retiring her signature program to step back and reassess her life.
I love the courage and vulnerability that Vanessa showed in admitting her truth, and it provokes the questions that we as business owners should be asking ourselves too.
Am I actually enjoying the work I do? Have I structured my business with as much ease and simplicity as possible? Am I squeezing time with my loved ones around the limited time left over from my business?
If you’re regularly overworking and finding that your business is constantly causing you anxiety, I encourage you to ask these questions and get really honest with yourself. Reflect on what you can do to stay in alignment with your life goals while cutting out the noise of external pressures.
You are the expert on you, and I encourage you to get really clear on what you are looking to achieve. I hope this episode challenges you to stay on course and build a life and business you truly love.
