Welcome to our Summer Short Series – bite-sized tips that you can digest in under a minute.
While you’re on vacation this summer, be thinking about “what’s perfect” when it comes to your schedule. Years ago, I interviewed Joe Calloway, and he shared that he no longer accepts weekend speaking engagements. Cool. Perhaps you decide that when you don’t have a gig, you’ll take every Monday off, sweet!
In this beautiful chapter of my business, Monica (my right arm) and I set it up so that Fridays are off (that’s a year-round thing), and we stockpile podcasts to run through the summer, so Mondays are also free days from June-Sept. For the rest of the year, I record podcasts every second Monday.
My friend Rhonda Scarf told me that she and her husband, Warren, always take the week after a long weekend off during the summer months. Here in Canada, that means a week off in July, August and September. Nice!
When was the last time you really asked yourself – what’s perfect for me? Are there times when you are on the road and think to yourself, “I’m not enjoying this at all!”?
Remember, this is your business, so run it the way you see fit. Do we have to work hard and pay our dues in the early days? Sure! But keep these ideas in mind for when the time is right.
This is some summer food for thought! Enjoy, and I’ll see you soon Wealthy Speakers!
