Taking a Sabbatical as an Independent Consultant with Ashley Ryall


In today's edition of THE INDEPENDENT, let's discuss taking a sabbatical as an independent consultant.


Do you know you can take a sabbatical as an independent consultant?

As an independent consultant, you're your own boss.

You get to decide all of your company policies.

So why not include a sabbatical for yourself as one of the benefits?

You'd want to work at a company that offers sabbaticals, so why not offer one at your company now that you're fully in charge?

Become your own employer of choice.


How could it be possible for an independent consultant to take a sabbatical?

This week, I want to introduce you to Ashley Ryall. She's a fellow independent consultant who's successfully implemented a sabbatical into her business.

Ashley graciously shared her experiences and lessons learned on the podcast (episode 169).

She gives you all the behind-the-scenes of

  • How she prepared her independent consulting business to take a sabbatical
  • How she made the most of her sabbatical even though it didn't turn out as she expected
  • Her lessons learned
  • Why the sabbatical was a benefit to both her and to her clients

This one's a must-listen - Episode 169: Taking a Sabbatical as an Independent Consultant with Ashley Ryall.

Loved listening to this episode! In researching and publishing my book, The Art of the Sabbatical I continue to get questions about how small business owners can also structure time away. This had some great tips about reviewing contracts and setting expectations. I'm so happy that (despite the hiccups on the Santiago) this was a fruitful experience for you. I look forward to hearing more about your book, Ashley Ryall!

Taking a sabbatical as an independent consultant is such an inspiring idea! It’s a powerful reminder that we have the autonomy to shape our business practices to support our well-being.

It's time we retire the narrative that freelancers and independent consultants don't deserve or can't imagine the same benefits and opportunities that employees get from their employers. Thanks for sharing the stage Melisa Liberman for this important conversation! ❤️🎙️
