Summer, for many, is a more lax time of year and a break from the hyper-focused work from the other months of the year.
However, depending on your business industry, most marrriedpreneurs stay in 'grind mode' even throughout the Summer, leaving virtually no time for refueling and recharging.
As marriedpreneurs, if you're anything like us, you choose this path of entrepreneurship for the time freedom it can bring along with the opportunity for increased income- on our terms.
Right?
If you're with us, you've likely created your own 'rat race' even within the entrepreneurial ecosystem. So you may sometimes feel like there isn't a big difference regarding the desired outcomes.
We get it.
Whether you take a 'break' in the Summer or not is not the point; instead, use the Summer as a reminder to make space for a new rhythm. When we were in school as kids, we always looked toward Summer.
At the time, we thought it was because it was a built-in break from school. But as adults, we've since learned that our physical bodies and emotional/mental states actually know when we need a break.
The crazy thing is that it's often the same time of year.
Let three Summer months remind you to schedule a reset for your life and business.
Common toxic beliefs objections:
- I can't afford a vacation right now: It doesn't have to be fancy to be fruitful. Start where you are and build from there.
- Everything will fall apart if I pause: This is a sign to up-level automation, tighten your systems and delegate tactical items. Batching items in advance is also a great way to prepare for downtime.
- It's Just Not Possible: Fix your mindset. Instead of saying it isn't possible, ask, 'How can this be possible?' It frees your creative thinking.
These are just a few steps to shift into resetting seasons. If you're seeking the next steps on implementing suitable systems to increase profits and have more time freedom, grab our free marriedpreneur checklist here.
