477. Summer Planning for Business Succes...

Jacqueline Snyder
About this episode

Hello fellow Product Bosses! It's your go-to gurus, Jacqueline and Minna, back again to light up your path towards entrepreneurial triumph. We're peeling back the curtain today to share our blueprint for navigating the summertime business landscape. This season presents unique opportunities and challenges, particularly for us as moms. We've been tirelessly paving the way to this point, and now, we're ready to strategically dial it down for the summer, immersing ourselves in precious family time. However, we're not going completely off-grid.

While you might not see us in the front row as often, we'll be working diligently behind the scenes to maintain the business momentum. But let's be honest: we're also planning on hibernating a bit, prioritizing our children, and enjoying the sunny season. And yet, we've never fully paused. Our commitment to growth and progress remains unshakeable. Even in moments of challenge, we stay the course.

We're diving into the dynamics of planning and managing your business activities around the summer months, striking a balance between reaping the benefits of a flourishing business and basking in some well-deserved poolside relaxation. We've planned ahead, establishing our availability, planning activities with our kids, and batching our work in advance to ensure the summer months are as productive as they are refreshing. Join us as we break down these strategies and inspire you to carve out your own version of a successful, fulfilling summer.
