Managing Down Time (Sick Days, Vacas, and Holidays, Oh My!)
Update: 2023-07-02
Description
Sometimes, taking a break from business activities can actually feel stressful for entrepreneurs. In this episode of Marketing Like a Mother, we delve into the challenges of preparing for sick days and other times away from your business.
To help ease the burden and create a buffer for those inevitable sick days, we want to emphasize the value of planning in advance. In the episode, we offer practical strategies such as batch-creating content, scheduling posts, and laying the groundwork for future marketing efforts.
The conversation also touches on the benefits of creating evergreen content – content that remains relevant over a longer period of time – and the flexibility to incorporate timely elements when possible. But, while having a plan in place is crucial, we also want to stress the importance of embracing spontaneity and recognizing that certain moments are best captured live, in the moment.
Join us as we dive deeper on these topics, as well as:
Creating a content schedule for effective marketing
Collaboration and networking as a marketing strategy
Strategies for managing health, energy, and productivity
And more!
