Before taking a three-month sabbatical this year, she took many steps to prepare her business. It meant that when I returned from my sabbatical, I had an even more efficient business than before I left. It's really hard to work on your business if you're always working in your business. Because the large majority of my business income comes from one-to-one patient care, I generated significantly less income while I was away. However, because I had a self-directed online program available, the income generated from that was enough to cover the business expenses.
