Summer hits in T minus 10 days (for the parents out there)

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Summer hits in my home office in 10.5 days.

That means 4 kids. All summer. Creeping near my home office.
Two self-employed parents.
And a to-do list that doesn’t care if it’s July.

If you're a business owner trying to keep your business moving and stay sane this summer — I want to help.

🟢 I just opened up my calendar for the next 10 days to help working parents make a summer game plan, fast:

Imagine it's next week...
​
You sit down with coffee in hand, ready to tackle the day.
But the first thing on your list? Another proposal.

Your brain’s already juggling pool schedules and baseball practice…

And now you’re digging through Google Drive for copy-paste scraps to glue into a doc.

You get halfway through and you’re winging it. Again.
Explaining your value five different ways.
Promising a custom approach. (Because you always do.)
​
Explaining your value in five different ways.
Promising a custom approach (because you always do).
​
And you think: “Why is this still so hard to explain what we do?”​
​
You’re proud of your work. You’ve got the results.
But packaging it into something repeatable?
Still feels like trying to catch smoke.
​
Your team’s good... but they keep waiting on you.

And now your house is full of kids... while your inbox keeps filling up and ever firedrill still lands on your plate.
​
You've outgrown the hustle era.. But scaling? That takes structure.
​
You want space. Clarity. Leverage.
​
And most of all - you don't want to be needed in every part of the business this summer.

Let's build a plan to manage both: Your business and your life.

I'm opening my calendar for the next 10 days to help other business owners get a plan to manage the summer hustle, without losing your mind.

This one is for you Reader. People like you... but could you be making it hard to refer you? This week, I grabbed a zoom coffee with a brilliant consultant. Sharp. Smart. But struggling to get traction. She was exhausted. “I keep getting the wrong leads... and referrals to the wrong people. I’m going in circles here.” It’s frustrating to know you’ve got the skills, but not seeing the traction. Searching for the find the words and coming up blank. As we unpacked her intro, I noticed the...

Hey Reader, I’ve talked to a lot of smart, capable founders lately who are quietly wondering the same thing: “Did my offer stop working… or did the market just shift under my feet?” If that’s you, I just want you to hear me say this: it’s not a failure to tweak your offer.Tweaking is smart business. Last week I took my car into the shop because my Honda Pilot started to drift to the right. Prolly because I’m really good at nailing this one curb in my target parking lot. Like, A LOT. But when...

Hey Reader, "This is the driest my pipeline has been in 4 years." I was having coffee with another marketing friend. He was near tears and exhausted. Last year he had a strong business, a great reputation, and years of momentum. But over the last 6 months it feels like something shifted. And suddenly, none of the usual levers are working. That’s when the guilt crept in. He started wondering:“Did I mess this up?”“Is it me?”“Do I need to burn it all down and start fresh?” Was it time to pivot?...
