Our business is doing well, our team is strong, and some days we don't have as much to do. The day that we planned for arrived. That should be a good thing right? Well, the truth is that it's been shockingly uncomfortable. In this episode we explore the strange feeling of slowing down because our business is doing well. We've been working hard building Heart Bowls for two straight years so the days with a smaller to-do list come with questions like, "What does this mean?" "Have we lost our mojo?" "Are we uninspired now?" We talk about what's been challenging for our different working styles/personalities, discuss how we can embrace this time and reshape it into new forms of creativity, and redefine our roles as business owners.
