You don't have to choose between summer and your business
|
Hey Reader, I'm hearing this from women who are running businesses and those who want to start one. "I'll figure it out when the kids go back to school." I get it. The calendar is loose. The kids are home. Vacation needs planning. Aging parents need visits. 🙋♀️ A business is one more thing competing for the same hours. But here's the thing: it's never going to be the right time to grow your business. And your competitors who show up consistently this summer will have all the momentum in the fall. Three months of "I'll figure it out later" turns into a September that is harder than it has to be. Your pipeline is thin. And you're discouraged thinking about all the momentum you built in the spring. It's gone. And you're starting over with an empty bank account. It doesn't have to be that way. The women I work with don't take the summer off. But they don't burn the candle at both ends either. They built a smaller version for summer to stay in shape as a business owner. Here's what that actually looks like, inside coaching:
You don't need a full calendar to keep your business running, but you do need an intentional one. I made a video about why I didn't start a business to hustle harder, and how I built one that works for my life 👉 What Do You Really Want? How to Redesign Your Life in This New Season (Watch time: 5 minutes) Your calendar reflects your values. Amy P.S. If you're feeling the pull of kids, parents, and business all at once, that's exactly what coaching is for. Book a call. We'll find the version of summer that keeps your business still standing in September. |

Hey Reader, I sold my son's blue whale at a yard sale. He was little. It was in the pile. A young child picked it up, and I let it go for a quarter while Zack watched with tears in his eyes. Thankfully, he doesn't remember it. But I will never forget it. And I don't wish that on anyone. Here's what most people get wrong about decluttering and what our clients get wrong too. They start with someone else's stuff. The kids' toys. Hubby's hat collection. The boxes that were never theirs in the...
Hey Reader, If you've ever typed "what should I charge as a professional organizer" into Google, you already know what comes back. A range so wide it's basically useless. So I made a video that actually answers the question. Not with a number. With a framework that's built around how and when you want to work, what you need to earn, and the pricing model that creates consistent income instead of unpredictable months. We start with a math problem. I want you to think about your last organizing...
Hey Reader, We’re moving into summer fast. The school routine is gone, work is a little slower, and “flexible” can quickly turn into chaos. I’ve coached enough women through the summer slide to know that without some structure in place, June momentum becomes August exhaustion. The kids notice. So does your calendar and your bank account. Our son is launched, but Steve and I still build a summer rhythm on purpose. It’s intentional, just the way I like it. Here’s what we actually do: Sunday...
