Whether you're trotting the globe or plotting a staycation, a break from work is on the docket for you (I hope!). But how does the whole vacation thing work when you're a service provider and not a salaried employee with paid time off and all that? I've had travel on the brain (but sadly, not on the calendar) for a while now, so I thought I'd share some of my tried-and-true pointers for working out a vacation for yourself when you're a freelance service provider.
Here are some links I mentioned in this episode:
- blog post on the same subject: https://ashleygainer.com/how-to-take-a-vacation-when-youre-a-freelancer/
- Julie Stoian's pin drop protocol: https://juliestoian.com/the-1-thing-that-prevents-overwhelm-at-work-after-being-away-on-vacation-or-leave/
Taking a vacation any time soon? Pop into the Facebook group and let me know! I've got cabin fever...
