โœจ How I Can Help This Month โœจ

๐Ÿš€ Take the CEO Week Challenge! Tis the season for crazy schedules. I have had clients 2X their revenue in just one week by implementing this 8-hour workweek schedule. Learn the framework FREE.

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ Book your 1:1 Strategy and Soul Session! This intensive gives you 1:1 support over 3 weeks with 2 strategy calls (over 2 hours of support) giving you the exact steps you need to increase your profit, save time, and get your schedule back. You'll walk away with a detailed action plan and toolkit to implement.

๐ŸŽ„ Get ready for Christmas in July! I love a good theme and holiday around here so we created our own. Starting July 15th. Only on email. ๐Ÿ’Œ

โœจ A Personal Note โœจ

Hey Reader -
As you read this, I am gearing up to chaperone 30 (yes you read that right) 5th graders for a Vacation Bible School pool party and drive them around in our mini-van. ๐Ÿ˜‰ (Thankfully there will be 7 passengers not all 30!)

My ex-corporate self is doing a little happy dance because it is EXACTLY what I want to be doing.
โ€‹
This week I also started a
new workout program (pst, this has been a game-changer for me as I just finished the 6-week shred last week), made homemade pickles, walked around our dahlia garden aimlessly praying they bloom, got a physical, cleaned out my entire closet AND have gone to the pool and become a fish. ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ
โ€‹
I have been so strict with my business hours using the
CEO Week Framework that I have created more free time than I ever have. Ever. The trick...
โ€‹
Create your own momentum. ๐Ÿฉท
โ€‹
My momentum came from wanting to volunteer, actually making time to take care of myself, and being able to enjoy the sunshine!
(As a Pisces water and sun are like my love language). To do that I needed to have super clear goals and a plan (because there is still a business). ๐Ÿ˜‰
โ€‹
How did I do it?
โ€‹
We planned our summer around our current clients (using that 80/20 profit rule) and then created our own holiday.
Amazon and Target do it so why can't you?
โ€‹
โ€‹
Here's why it works:

  • Tired of fighting for attention in December's overflowing email baskets? Create your own summertime spectacular!
  • You call the shots! Choose a time that perfectly aligns with your business goals and your audience's needs. Summer slump got you down? (P.S. There's a reason big retailers have sales in July... just sayin'!)
  • Target Your Tribe with Laser Focus: Craft a theme that resonates deeply with your ideal customers' interests and aspirations. Give them what they want and make it fun!
  • Let's face it, everyone loves a reason to celebrate! A festive theme is a guaranteed engagement booster, fostering excitement and anticipation for what's to come.

Basically, you get to design the perfect holiday experience for your audience and your business!

Want to see it in action? Our Christmas in July starts Monday at the same time our family is on vacation! Yep. #youcandoboth
