Is a Sabbatical Right for You?10 Dec 202400:11:32

“Sometimes the most productive thing I can do is rest.”

Every time I experience envy of another business owner doing something like working fewer hours or being a digital nomad in Bali, I remind myself: “You’re self-employed! You can do whatever you want.” That’s why, today, I'm preparing to leave on an indefinite sabbatical. if you've ever wondered, “What's a sabbatical, and how do I get me one of those?” this episode is for you.

I once heard a fellow business owner talk about taking a sabbatical. It was the kind of thing that I knew was too soon, but I definitely felt a little bookmark activate in my brain. "That'll be me someday," I thought.

And now, it is!

Earlier this year, I heard the call to take a sabbatical. For a change, a HUGE change—I'm not burned out.

The next iteration of my work and life is coming through to me in divine downloads, but I can’t hear what it is with all the activity around me. So, I’m taking a hiatus from everything except my 1:1 clients. 

As I prepare to step away on this indefinite creative sabbatical, I’m diving into what it really means to rest, renew, and create space for the next phase of growth. 

In this final episode of Season 20, I share personal stories of burnout, unexpected sabbaticals, and the intentional decision to pause. You’ll learn about the origins of sabbaticals and why creating rest in your business is essential for long-term growth. 

Whether you’re planning for a future sabbatical, curious about the idea, or just need to integrate more rest into your routine, this episode will inspire you to rethink how you approach your work.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why sabbaticals aren’t just for professors (and how to plan your own)
  • The difference between unintentional and intentional sabbaticals—and what both taught me
  • How business owners can integrate rest into their daily, weekly, and yearly routines
  • How to avoid waiting until burnout forces you to stop.

This isn’t just about taking a break; it’s about cultivating a sustainable, joyful business and life. Tune in to this reflective and practical episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting on your favorite podcast app, or listen/read the transcript directly at SamanthasPodcast.com

Mentioned in this episode:

I have a confession to make. I hate shopping, but I love the way I feel in beautiful clothes. I love to have new looks, and I really don't want to be seen in the same outfits over and over, but I also don't want to clog landfills with more fast fashion. Because I despise shopping, I've been known to buy too quickly and end up with a closet full of things I don't wear. But everything changed for me when I discovered Armoire. I was heading to a business event in Hawaii and I wanted to look fantastic. I got a gorgeous dress and the cutest jumpsuit. Armir is like sharing a...

Case Study: Most Financially Successful Year Ever with Sherry Quam Taylor20 Dec 202200:31:36

My client Sherry Quam Taylor went from being overloaded with 37 clients to making dramatically more than she’s ever made before (and experiencing a ton of joy) doing longer engagements with fewer, ideal clients and getting stunning results.

She’s a consultant who shows nonprofit CEOs how to raise millions more in gen ops dollars so they can fund their strategic plan and increase budgets by 2 to 10x. With Sherry, their teams break free from the limitations of transactional fundraising and reimagine their entire approach to revenue generation, attracting investment-level donors who want to fund their work. 

She practically doubled her business and had her most financially successful year ever from working together - and in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, she shares how she did it.

How To Stop Feeling Overwhelmed13 Dec 202200:20:58

Feeling overwhelmed?

One of the things that consultants often come to me struggling with is being overwhelmed in their business. They’re doing client work, working on their own businesses and usually managing a household, on top of navigating the economy and the pandemic and all kinds of things. 

Overwhelm happens to all business owners, but it doesn't have to knock you off your game. 

There are things that you can do about it if you understand why you get overwhelmed, what you can do when you're overwhelmed, and how you can recognize this as a pattern in your business. Explore why we get overwhelmed and what to do about it in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting!

Being self-employed can feel like the work never ends. Learn how to get your work (and overwhelm) under control for a sustainable, profitable, joyful business in this episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/Wg9NQ1SXxCI or your favorite podcast app: http://www.samanthahartley.com/blog-podcast.

Case Study: Erin Straza06 Dec 202200:22:27

My client Erin Straza was once “just” a copywriter. When she first started working with me, she shared her vision of what more she could do for her clients. Not quite a year later, Erin is bringing transformational engagements to nonprofits and helping them no longer just with copywriting, but with strategic marketing communications. 

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, hear how Erin has changed her business by focusing on transformation and working with perfect clients - large enough to really value her services. Erin never had trouble attracting clients, but she was yearning to do deeper work with fewer clients. Now, she’s repositioned herself as a communications strategist and she’s making a bigger impact for her clients. Erin is solidly working in her Joy & Genius Zone™ and, to my delight, she’s grown her revenues dramatically - tripling in two years!

How to Defeat Imposter Syndrome10 Sep 202400:32:20

Feeling unsure doesn’t make you an imposter, it means you’re curious.” 

Imposter syndrome—is it just a buzzword or a real challenge women face in the business world? In this episode, we dig deep into the reality of imposter syndrome, uncovering its roots and exploring how it uniquely affects women entrepreneurs.

In this fifth episode of the six-part series The Feminine Advantage, we confront the phenomenon of imposter syndrome head-on.

Bring Your Inner Child To Work With Samantha Hartley & Christopher Carrick11 Oct 202200:40:11

Why you should bring your Inner Child to work 👇

If you want to get to the next level of your business, you have to ask yourself: what would I have to change or let go of? What’s in the way? Often people are engaged in self-sabotage or blocked in another way. 

When you connect with your Inner Child, you can surface the gifts you’ve suppressed, lost, or buried. You can start to understand the unhealthy coping mechanisms the Child developed a long time ago, and how that’s impacting your work. You can move through obstacles and understand opportunities. 

It’s not traditional, but archetypes and spirituality can be powerful tools for entrepreneurs. Learn more about how to bring your Inner Child to work (and why you should) in this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting with Spiritual Director, Christopher Carrick.

Sales Metrics for Consultants09 Aug 202200:15:34

Does having sales goals for your business motivate you - or stress you out? 

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 how to use sales metrics to build a more profitable and joyful business. 

One of my clients let me know that every year since she’s started her business, she’s increased revenues from the year before. But instead of celebrating, she feels a sense of dread — because it increases the pressure she feels and raises the bar for next year. It’s not a terrible boss putting that pressure on her. It’s her, putting that pressure on herself.

The thing about consulting businesses is: we probably don’t have the kind of business that some of your small business clients might have, so we’re tracking different things than other businesses might.

Transformational Engagements12 Jul 202200:14:34

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 defines transformational engagements and what they could look like in your business.

Most consultants do project-based work. They come in, work for three or six months, and solve a problem with a beginning, middle, and end. (And truthfully, we probably solve a smaller problem, which then leads to the discovery of new problems.) This can lead to ongoing work but ... it doesn’t always.

Transformational engagements are different from the usual way of working (and they can make your business way more profitable and joyful). What makes a transformational engagement transformative? What’s your version of a transformational engagement? In this episode, we’ll dive into what transformational engagements could do for you.

Key areas discussed: 

There are all kinds of ways that you can do transformational engagements. Get helpful and expansive ways to increase both your profits and your joy through transformational engagements in this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/eju9rC9G0oo or your favorite podcast app: www.SamanthaHartley.com/Blog-Podcast

How To Prepare Your Business For Illness28 Jun 202200:17:32

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 how to plan for any kind of impending absence in your business, whether it’s a health challenge, urgent family issue, or something else.

Sometimes you need to have time away from your business urgently, and you need to be able to trust that everything won’t fall apart while you’re gone. As consultants we are the brand, but we also have to build something that can function without us for more than just two weeks of vacation a year. 

More than just times when you absolutely have to be away, there’s simply no reason for any of us to be driving ourselves as if we were back at corporate. It doesn't help you. It's not sustainable and it's not profitable and joyful.

Learn how to structure a business that lets you live your life - including time away - in this episode.

Overcoming Communication Challenges Women Face27 Aug 202400:29:09

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, we explore the delicate balance between feminine and masculine energies in communication. Building on the previous two episodes in our series "The Feminine Advantage," we delve into how women can harness both energies to navigate emotionally-charged situations and achieve desired outcomes. 

I’ll recount my experience with a group of millennial leaders and how, through strategic communication, they were able to present their ideas in a way that could be heard and acted upon by their more senior counterparts. This episode emphasizes the importance of empathy, curiosity, and preparation in effective communication, especially when the stakes are high.

Hear from my clients and colleague about their real-life experiences with communication challenges and successes. Leslie shares how embracing feminine attributes like empathy and creativity has leveled the playing field in her negotiations. Jennifer Frye discusses the power of directness tempered with curiosity and kindess. Kara Levy, a communications coach for C-suite executives, provides insights on influencing without power, focusing on empathy and relationship-building rather than simply winning arguments. 

This episode is packed with actionable advice, including a coaching question, a journal prompt, and an affirmation to help you apply these principles in your work today.

Topics Covered:

  • Balancing feminine and masculine energies in communication
  • The importance of empathy and understanding in influencing others
  • Using curiosity to open up conversations and avoid assumptions
  • The effectiveness of direct communication paired with kindness
  • Preparing for high-stress situations and managing emotions
  • The pitfalls of the compliment sandwich and how to give feedback with clear intent

Whether you're navigating complex workplace dynamics or seeking to improve your everyday interactions, this episode offers valuable strategies to communicate more effectively.

Mastering Decisions, Boundaries, and Action in Leadership20 Aug 202400:28:51

The way we, as women, can help heal the masculine in the world is by balancing our feminine energy with it—modeling healthy masculine behaviors and qualities in ourselves for the women and men in our lives.

Are you a brave and confident female leader, yet you find yourself hesitant when it comes to reaching out to potential clients or posting on social media? Do you struggle with delivering tough feedback or setting boundaries in your business? 

These challenges often stem from an imbalance in masculine qualities, which can hinder your ability to take decisive action, set clear boundaries, and effectively lead your team. 

In this episode of Profitable Joyful Consulting, we delve into the Father Archetype—a powerful masculine energy that can help you navigate these areas with more confidence, clarity, and effectiveness. By integrating this archetype into your business, you can strike a balance between masculine and feminine qualities, leading to more productivity and profitability.

We explore what the Father Archetype is, why it’s essential for female leaders, and five key areas where it can be effectively applied in your business. You'll hear insights from an expert who works with us on archetypes, as well as stories from my clients who have successfully harnessed this energy to overcome their own challenges. 

Whether it’s managing difficult client conversations, setting clear boundaries, or making tough decisions, this episode provides practical advice on how to embody the Father Archetype to enhance your leadership skills.

Topics covered in this episode:

⭐ Understanding the Father Archetype and its importance in business

⭐ Five specific areas to apply masculine energy in your business

⭐ Real-life examples of how the Father Archetype can help in client negotiations, decision-making, and people management

⭐ Practical tips for accessing this archetype to boost your confidence and assertiveness

Should You Compare Yourself To Others?05 Apr 202200:15:03

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 about comparison in business. 

I used to work with someone in my business who would get super whacked out about other people in our same industry who were doing things really well. He would think it wasn’t fair and say, I don't think they're as smart as we are, how come they're more successful at those kinds of things?

I let it roll off my back. I understood that you don’t always win just because you’re the smartest person. We don't get to take our rules and values to decide who is going to be ahead. 

 

But I’ve seen this attitude over and over again in the industry, and that’s what this week’s episode is dedicated to. Tune in to learn the answer to the age-old question: should you compare yourself to others in business? Is that a good or bad thing?
