Summary

Happy New Year friends and welcome to the first episode of 2022! I could not think of a better guest to start this year off with than my friend, Tyler J. McCall. I really believe this episode is the most transparent and raw episode on this show so far. We touch on all the things in online business that often get swept under the rug, like burnout, feeling inadequate as a leader, and what it looks like when you step away from your online presence. Tyler is the founder of onlinebusinessowner.com and host of the online business show podcast. Since 2015, he has helped entrepreneurs build thriving online businesses through his online programs, services, and events. In this episode, we are talking about how he was able to take an unplanned 6-month sabbatical from work because of the burnout he was experiencing. We will be looking at how this came to be, how his business was able to sustain itself without the CEO, and why it’s so important to have a business reserve.

0:06.7

first episode of 2022. I cannot think of a better guest to kick us off than my friend Tyler J. McCall.

0:14.0

You'll hear in this conversation me say over and over, this is what I needed. This is good for my soul.

0:18.7

I really do believe that this is one of the most,

0:21.8

if not the actual most transparent and raw conversation we've had on the show before,

0:27.3

about all of the things in online business that are often dismissed, swept under rugs,

0:33.2

not talked about. Things like burnout, things like feeling inadequate as a leader, guilty for not

0:40.5

working, things like this constant need to keep up with the Joneses in a sense, right? What everyone

0:46.1

else is doing. This need to show up online and on social media and what that looks like when you

0:50.7

take time away. I just really feel like if you could be a fly on the wall

coaching, consulting, and in-person events. Today's conversation, the case study that we're going

1:21.7

to be exploring together, is how Tyler basically took a six-month sabbatical from work.

1:29.1

And when I say sabbatical,

1:34.2

I don't mean this was something that he planned months or years in advance and he was planning this vacation. It was something where he took time off social media and that evolved into

1:39.0

him just taking away half a year from his business because he was so burnt out, which is why, again,

1:45.1

I think this conversation is so incredibly important. So we're going to be looking at how that

1:50.3

actually came to be, how his business was able to stay alive and sustain itself through

1:55.8

six months of no active work from its CEO and founder, and why it's so important to have a business
