Balancing relaxation and revenue during vacation season doesn’t mean choosing one over the other. In this episode I'm sharing my exact planning process so that you can have a profitable AND restful summer.

We'll discuss:

• Defining what your summer vacation looks like and align it with both tangible (like revenue) and intangible (experiences) goals.
• Determining revenue needs and outline your marketing strategy to keep business momentum even when you take a break. This might involve batch content creation or setting evergreen sales processes that work for you while you're away.
• How to distinguish between tasks that drive results and those that can be delegated or automated. Focus on what truly matters and let go of the rest.

Planning in advance doesn't just take stress off your plate; it empowers you to enjoy a well-deserved break while your business continues to thrive.
