What to Do When You’re Just Not Feeling It

On the Profitable Joyful Consulting podcast, I teach you how to increase your profits and enjoy your business more. In this episode, you’ll learn what to do when you are unable to work or just don’t feel like working.

If there’s no you, there’s no business. But there are so many things that can make us feel like not working, whether it’s burnout, mental health challenges, pushing yourself too hard, grief, the state of the world, or something else.

Whatever brings this feeling on for you, learn how to keep your business going when you get down or you don’t feel like working (without just pushing through your very real feelings) in this episode.
