We are officially in the second month of Q3. In this week's episode, I wanted to continue with the theme of walking you through some of my best strategies to be thinking about as we continue through the summer. So many of us can see summer as "quiet". Our clients might be away on holiday, their kids might be out of school, they're out of their usual routine and we start to get this feeling of, "no one is paying attention right now - maybe I should press pause on the business and then pick up when autumn comes." Sassy Holly is here to tell you... NO! That is NOT the best approach for anyone who is serious about maintaining and building that momentum in their business. And even if summer is a little bit quieter for you and you don't tend to make as many sales, (and that is proven with data) - I can directly tie the marketing activities that I am doing in the summer months to the results that I get when things start to pick back up again in September. So in today's episode, I'm going to share five ways you can find that time this summer and how to actually make this happen. Here's what we cover in the episode: - Why a mid-year review is a non-negotiable to help you figure out what you want to focus on over the summer - How to set your summer hours (and why reevaluating your values and priorities every season is important) - A review of your Weekly Prep Meeting and how it'll help you make things happen quicker - The importance of saying "no" over the summer and identifying what's important to you - Why to change up your environment over the summer (with lots of examples!) And spoiler alert before we dive in: there is no finding the time you have to make the time. Let's dive in and make it happen! ...

Do you ever find yourself feeling frustrated and unfocused in your business to the point where you know you aren't doing the things that need to be done in order to get you to your big business goals? This can be especially prominent in the summer. So, instead of giving you a list of things you can do to "keep up", in this episode, I want to share how you can balance work and time off. How you can take a break without falling behind, and the ONE practice I have put in place in my business that ensures that I'm staying focused and on track towards achieving my goals... even during the summer. Even if you do nothing else for your business over the summer apart from this, you will be MORE than okay. We are here to keep things simple and strategic, to create success on your terms. You’re here because you want more freedom, more flexibility, and more impact - you want to be able to create your own definition of success. But one of the biggest challenges I hear from you is: we set those big dreams and goals at the beginning of the year, but a few weeks or months in, we find ourselves off track. We find ourselves struggling with those shiny objects that keep asking for our attention, begging for our attention, and as a result, we're not getting where we need to go. Sound familiar? Do you relate to that feeling of sitting down at your desk and just feeling completely unsure of where your time and energy should be focused each and every day? Well, if that's you, you're in luck because I’ve got you covered today. The one practice I have that helps me stay focused each and every week in my business is... (drumroll please)... my Weekly Prep Meeting. Here's what we cover in this episode: The purpose of having a weekly CEO date in your business (plus how to carve out the time for it) Two major parts of this weekly self-accountability session that mean you can work through this in 30 minutes or less The only two metrics you need to track in your business (and how to identify them for you specifically) All the steps we go through for the Weekly Prep Meeting, and what tasks and projects you need to be laying out for the week ahead This episode takes you through this step-by-step (it's truly one of mine and my clients' favourite parts of running our businesses!

You’ll learn more about their results and strategies to make this happen, as well as get lessons to implement in your own business. I’m going to walk you through how she achieved this using The Focus Method that I mentor and manage my clients through.

We’ll dive into: How to stay the course when you’re in the “messy middle” Why it’s safe to raise your prices (and important to do so) The importance of staying true to who you are and what you preach If you enjoyed this episode, download a few more and share them with a friend!

We’re continuing our series around running your business on an operating system so you can generate more sales and visibility in less time. So far, we’ve talked about where The FOCUS method can take you, what’s currently holding you back from building the business and life you want, and today - we’re going to dive into proven strategies to create a full booked business on repeat. As a mentor, I am BIG on implementation. Because being fully booked once is one thing. But sustaining it from there is the biggest difference. Not to mention sustaining a fully booked business while life naturally “lifes”. There’s also a big different between just running on intuition vs having a plan and a strong foundation. We want both - the space for creativity and intuition, as well as a sustainable system to grow from. So let’s dive into 6 proven strategies that can help you build a fully booked business on repeat. It’s going to be juicy! xo Holly For full show notes go to abranchofholly.com/podcast … Mentioned in the episode: Get the Behind The Boss Newsletter: https://abranchofholly.com/boss DM Holly on IG: https://www.instagram.com/abranchofholly/ Rate & review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/busy-to-boss-podcast/id1441425911

If youd have asked me a few weeks ago I would’ve said pivoting was the scariest thing you could ever do in your business. Now I have a different perspective - I can safely say that pivoting can be the best possible thing to happen to you - when it’s needed. And that last part is what we’re going to talk about today. In this episode, I’m going to walk you through 6 signs it’s time for a pivot and because we all love tangible action steps, what to actually do about each one - a small and specific area for you to focus on. I’m very much in the weeds with my pivot at the moment and what I’ve realised so far is that yes, pivoting can bring you a lot of challenges and self-doubt. But it also brings a lot of certainty. Making the decision to pivot is one of the hardest things to do, because you’re the only one who can really make it. And it’s my job today to guide you in making that decision! We’re going to cover: What to do when your current business doesn’t align with your life (and what alignment actually means) How a shift in your identity can encourage you to make a pivot Why you aren’t getting anywhere by craving clairty (and what to do instead) How to get your creative spark back with your work What to do when your ideal client changes How to manage when you’re forced to pivot for reasons outside of your control This is a juicy episode so get ready to make notes!

I have always been so open about sharing how much my business has changed since having kids. But I haven’t been fully honest with you this year. And what I’ve realised over the last few weeks? If I carry on the way I am, there’s only one way it will go. So because of that, something needs to change. Not only a complete business restructure and rebrand (!) - but also in my approach thinking. The big mistake I made is this: What has been driving everything for me has been “what will bring in money and what do I think my audience wants/needs?” Vs “What do I feel so called to share? Where do my passions lie? What’s my mission and my legacy? What can I help people with and why am I the person to help them with that?” This is what my next level looks like. No more creating offers just because that’s what other coaches in the space are doing. No more talking about certain content topics because it’s what a business coach does. I am not your average business coach and I never have been. And the truth is - I have not been honouring my business in the way it deserves and that all changes now. A new era of ABOH is evolving. Do I know all the specifics yet? No, but I’ll be bringing you along for the ride. And in this episode, you’re hearing it all first. I’m sharing the specifics of how I’ve been feeling, what I’ve been craving in my business (that I haven’t shared yet), plus what I’ve done so far to navigate through this. This is your permission slip if you need one.

Boss - I’m about to make that a reality. In this episode, I’m going to share 10 ways you can actually get 10 hours back in your work week. These are things that have helped myself and my clients, and now they’ll help you to become less overwhelmed, to be more productive and to get more time back in your business, so you can spend your time how you want to be spending your time, rather than your business running your life. And full transparency - that used to be me. I used to work more than 60 hours in my business each week. I wasn’t getting done everything that I wanted to get done and I didn’t feel like I was creating momentum or achieving any of my goals because I was always putting out fires. I just felt like I was keeping my head above water with the day-to-day tasks that needed doing each week. Now, I’ve changed all of that so I’ll skip the story and get into how you can create these productivity systems for yourself. Get ready to take notes!
