Picture this: it's June, the sun is calling your name, and all you want to do is sit poolside with an iced coffee without thinking about your inbox, Slack messages, or the dreaded social media algorithm. You tell yourself, "This summer I'm going to take a real break. I deserve it. I need it."
But then the panic hits. What if my audience forgets about me? What if my sales dry up? What if everything crumbles while I'm lounging at the cottage with no wifi?
I've been there, and I get it. Every year I set the intention to take time off, and most years I have to fight those mental gymnastics trying to convince myself it's okay to step away. But here's the thing – you can absolutely take time off, unplug, slow down, AND your business can still thrive. You just need to plan for it.
In this episode, I'm spilling the tea on exactly what I do in my business every summer to create space, stay visible, and keep the money flowing while traveling, resting, and living life at a slower pace. Whether you're running a course business, coaching practice, or done-for-you services, there are strategies here that will make your summer feel like the breath of fresh air it's meant to be – not a financial meltdown.
