As the summer beckons us to slow down and kids are off from school, life changes just a little. Schedules loosen, days start with warmth and sunshine and end with campfires, s'mores and the most gorgeous sunsets. No one wants to work in times like this. Vacations call our names and we want the freedom to up and go. Yet as business owners, it's not that simple. If we all but abandon our daily business tasks, our sales slip, we lose engagement, and hungry prospects find others sources from which to feed. Yet if we embrace our work, continue to press in with full fervency, we miss out on making memories or feel torn halfway between work and special moments with our family. There's got to be a happy medium. Before I share what that is, imagine this summer without preparing for this season in your business.
Picture yourself constantly tethered to your phone or computer, anxiously trying to keep up with client inquiries, sales, and social media engagement. Every family outing, every moment of relaxation, overshadowed by the nagging feeling that you might be missing something important.
Your precious time with your children, your spouse, and your loved ones becomes fragmented and chaotic. Instead of being fully present, your mind is preoccupied with business tasks, constantly checking emails, and frantically responding to messages. The joy and peace that should accompany your summer activities are overshadowed by the stress and overwhelm of trying to juggle it all.
Your family vacation, a time that should be filled with laughter, connection, and rejuvenation, turns into a working holiday. You find yourself sneaking away to answer client calls, missing out on building sandcastles with your kids or taking long walks on the beach hand-in-hand with your spouse. Instead of making memories that will last a lifetime, you're left with a nagging feeling of guilt, knowing that your attention is divided. As the days grow longer and the children enjoy their break from school, you witness the passing moments slipping through your fingers. Summer activities, picnics, pool parties, and outings become a mere backdrop to your screen time. You find yourself longing for the days when you could fully engage, fully enjoy, and fully embrace the blessings that God has given you.
And the consequences aren't just personal. They affect your clients too. As you're struggling -torn between the two - your clients feel the effects of your lack of attention, which leads to missed opportunities and a decline in sales. The stress of trying to catch up with work upon your return from vacation threatens to overshadow the joyous memories you created with your family.
Sister, this is not the life that God has called us to live. You should be able to honor your primary ministries of marriage and motherhood WHILE building a thriving biz. And while I know the description above sounds bleak and hopeless, the solution and fix is SIMPLE. I know, because I've been there and walked these very same shoes.
As Christian business owners who are looking to steward all things well, the solution is implementing systems of AUTOMATION.
By embracing automation, you can reclaim your summer. You can create a business that runs seamlessly in the background, freeing up your time and mental space to be fully present with your loved ones. You can enjoy the precious moments, savoring the beauty of each experience, knowing that your business is thriving and your clients are being taken care of.
Choosing not to automate means choosing to sacrifice the present for the sake of the future. It means sacrificing the joy, peace, and fulfillment that come from being fully present with your loved ones. It means sacrificing the opportunity to build lasting memories and strengthen the bonds of your family. But it doesn't have to be this way.
EMBRACING THE IMPORTANCE OF AUTOMATION:
In today's digital age, automation has become a powerful ally for entrepreneurs seeking to streamline their operations. By automating essential aspects of your business, you can create more time for the things that truly matter in life—your faith, family, and personal well-being. Instead of being tied to your screens, you'll have the opportunity to be fully present in the moment, soaking in the joy and beauty of summer with your loved ones.
THE BENEFITS:
a) Uninterrupted Sales and Client Acquisition: Automation ensures that your business continues to generate leads, make sales, and attract new clients even when you're not actively involved. By employing automated systems, you can maintain a steady income stream and foster growth while you embrace the joys of summer.
b) Peace of Mind: Knowing that your business is running smoothly in the background grants you the freedom to disconnect and be present with your family. You won't have to worry about missing important opportunities or falling behind in your business endeavors.
c) Strengthening Faith and Family Bonds: By automating your business, you create space in your life to nurture your faith and cultivate deeper connections with your loved ones. Embracing these precious moments will not only enrich your own spiritual journey but also serve as a powerful example to those around you.
UNLEASHING THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA AUTOMATION:
Social media platforms provide incredible opportunities for business growth, but managing multiple accounts can quickly become a time-consuming task. By implementing social media automation tools and strategies, you can keep your online presence vibrant and engaging while reducing the need for constant manual updates.
a) Scheduled Content: Use social media scheduling tools to plan and create content in advance, ensuring a consistent presence even while you're enjoying a well-deserved vacation. I teach simple systems of how to repurpose top performing content into multiple forms of copy that you can share seamlessly across multiple platforms. In just one day you can plan your entire summer. Preparing a content calendar aligned with your business goals and values allows you to maintain an active online presence without compromising precious family time.
b) Automated Posting: Set up automation tools to publish your pre-planned content at optimal times, maximizing visibility and engagement. These tools enable you to keep your business running smoothly without having to be tethered to your devices during your summer adventures. There are multiple platforms you can use for this type of service. In our 10 Days to Automate Training I recommend top choices for you!
c) Engage with Efficiency: Utilize chatbots or automated messaging features like ManyChat to interact with your community, ensuring that your customers receive timely responses and information even when you're away. These automated tools can handle routine inquiries, freeing up your time to focus on enjoying the present moments with your loved ones. I also teach how to set up your social platforms to run like a well-oiled machine, while optimizing search efficiency to extend the life of your work and make sure you get found for months (and even years) away!
Imagine streamlining your business in just ten days to set yourself up for FREEDOM- throughout summer and the rest of the year! With just one task per day, I walk you through creating simple systems that you can use and replicate through any season. No more being tethered to your phone, constantly creating, and feeling torn between your first ministry and your business.
