Entrepreneurship is HARD and maybe it's time for you to take a sabbatical. To take a true break and step away. In this episode we will talk about ways to have a sabbatical and if it's time for you to take one! Burnout as an entrepreneur is almost inevitable and strategic time away from all the doing and going may benefit your long term success.
Using the model of seasons in your business will allow you to build a thriving orchard. Ideally, you'll find yourself in winter, cultivating spring, seeing the fruits in summer, and working with people in the fall - all year long. Find the show notes here for all the details!
Sumer = Sales And if you love what you do and the people you serve, this is how you have to show up! (After all, we have to sell things to keep our business open, right?) Be encouraged, friends, especially if you feel a little "sticky" about selling. Lean in with me, and let's enjoy some summer together! Find the show notes here.
What does Spring look like in your business? Our time for sowing! A time for lead generation, making new contacts, and networking. This is the time to plant seeds to nurture that will grow and blossom into something beautiful down the road. This is also a time for personal sowing…so don't forget yourself in the mix! And find those all-important show notes here.
Of course, every season is important in your business, but winter is often overlooked. And while these seasons may look different for everyone, it's important that each one is included in your schedule so that you can have a healthy balance of growth, both personally and in your business. Unlike the seasons in real life, they don't (and shouldn't) last an entire quarter. Actually, each week should have a bit of each season in your schedule. Why is Winter important? That's exactly what we're going to talk about today! Find the complete show notes for this episode here.
Did you know that your business has four seasons? Well, it does! And in today's episode, we're going to look at them in a big picture view to introduce this concept and mini-series. Each of these seasons allows us to develop a different aspect of our business. BALANCE While living in, for example, a summer season might be fun for a "beachy" person, if our business was always in that season, we'd find other areas lacking. In this episode, I talk a little bit about what your business might look like if your seasons are out of balance. I also introduce the concept of the orchard model in your business. The beauty of this model is that, unlike in "real life," these seasons are flexible and can run concurrently. Read the complete show notes here.
With all the hats that moms wear (whether or not they're getting a paycheck!) rest is super important. Not only do we model rest to our children, but - as they say - you can't pour from an empty cup. These tips will help prevent "working mom overload" in every season of your life. Find the show notes here.
