Summer Edit For Your Business
True confession – in a perfect world, I’d take off from Memorial Day to Labor Day every year. The time would be spent outside with family and friends talking, laughing, playing and loving life.
I have yet to achieve my perfect world summer – which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It means I get to work with really amazing clients – helping them buy and sell real estate.
Rather than pout about working during the summer, I use my motivation to take time off to do a deep edit on my business. What can I let go of that isn’t working? What can I do differently for better benefits?
Here’s what’s on the edit list this year:
- Feeling like I need to be in front of a screen all day. Whether it’s my laptop or phone, I clock a lot of screen time. Summer is a great time to connect with people IRL – so back away from the screen and connect with people in real time.
- Filling my calendar with endless appointments just to say I’m busy. I used to feel like I had to say yes to everything. Only to show up not present and wonder why I had committed to something that wasn’t a good fit. This summer I’m only saying yes to things that make me happy and fill my soul.
- Thinking that work and play are separate. That coffee you had with a friend last week that turned into a referral? That’s what building a referral based business is all about. It doesn’t have to be endless hours locked in an office cold calling for your next client. It’s about connection in all areas of your life, and trusting that business will come from it.
How about you? What edits are you making in your business right now?
To your success!

Letting Go Of The Hustle Sounds Great, But You’ve Got a Business To Run
To be clear, I am 100% for less hustle, more flow, manifesting, receiving, regulating my nervous system, and letting things be easier.

The Beauty of Not Doing It Alone
Thank you for being part of this community! I learned something beautiful and powerful last week. It was vulnerable to post about recalibrating, and being in the messy middle of grieving.

Recalibrate In a Business That Runs 24/7
It happens to me every year about this time. The need to recalibrate. In a business that can run 24/7 – it’s easy to look up one day and realize, your batteries are drained and there’s no break in sight. Side note – It doesn’t have to be a 24/7 thing, but that’s a topic…
It’s Okay For Things To Be Different
I often find myself comparing things.
