HOT TIP: feeling burnt out on your business? Take a strategic time out. At least once a year, take a complete break from your business. Preferably during a slow season. Use that period to rest, to explore other interests, or to spend time with people who have nothing to do with your business. Regular breaks like this will keep you from biz meltdown mode. (Psst…one day a week to stay out of your business is good business too. Every tarot reader deserves – and needs – a day to do nothing tarot-related.)
