It's wild how Summer is nearly here.
It feels like we just crossed over into the new year!
This is only a sign of how quickly the Summer will come and go before we know it.
Whether you plan to travel abroad or relax on the Jersey shore, having a vision is key.
We've learned the best way to capitalize on the gift of time is to plan, make memories, and protect those plans intentionally.
For instance, what do you want to accomplish this Summer?
Is it a Summer of rest and reward?
Or is it a Summer of the hustle and bustle?
Whichever it is, be intentional about the goal and the reason for the goal.
As marriedpreneurs, we understand that there has to be initial seasons of diligent work in order to stop and enjoy the fruit of our labor. But we also know that every season can't be diligent work, or we will miss out on diligent rest.
There's a season for both.
We won't pretend that the Summer months require the same outcome for everyone. We know that some businesses use the Summer months to catapult growth as one of the most important times of the year.
Our main message is simply to know what your focus is so there are no regrets.
One of the ways we focus is to take a look at previous seasons and use that data to help our focus for this season.
For us, we know our month-long break is coming up in September for our wedding anniversary, so our team is focused on batching content, leaning into our coaching clients, automating systems, and the like to be sure we are better prepared this year than last year.
That's just an example.
We use our Marriedpreneur Operating Systems Planner to help keep us accountable so we are fully present for each other during that time 'off.'
If you're a marriedpreneur couple seeking systems to plan and grow your business together, schedule a success-mapping call with us here.
Here's to living purposefully, powerfully, and profitably in sync,
