What It’s About

This side hustler needs a break!

Notes from Chris

Episode 3065
Side hustles are supposed to give you freedom, but what happens when you start feeling burned out? Taking a break can feel risky—you don’t want to lose customers, hurt your progress, or undo all your hard work. That’s exactly what Lauren from Brooklyn is struggling with.

She loves her side hustle, but she’s exhausted and doesn’t know how to step away without losing everything she’s built. Let’s talk about how to take a break strategically, so your business doesn’t just survive—it comes back stronger when you’re ready.

“Hey Chris, this is Lauren from Brooklyn. I love my side hustle, and it’s been growing steadily, but lately, I’m feeling totally burned out. The problem is, I don’t know how to step away without losing all my progress. If I take a break, I worry that customers will move on, my audience will stop engaging, or I’ll have to start from scratch when I come back. How do I take a break from my side hustle in a way that doesn’t hurt my long-term success?”
