The Systems That Keep Your Business Running When You Slow Down
Can you afford to take 30 days away from your business? What would happen if you can’t but took the time anyway?
Sometimes, things come up. Personal or family illness, the impending birth of a new baby, or just needing a break can spark the need for taking some extended time off.
But for a lot of small business owners, taking that time would essentially shut the business down. You’d stop marketing, working with clients, and making sales... unless you have systems in place that keep your business running when you slow down.
This past April, I had to step away from my business because of a flare-up of my chronic illness that caused me extreme pain and kept me up at night. But if you listened to the show in April, you’d never know that because I had systems in place that could help me weather that situation.
So in this episode of the Promote Yourself to CEO podcast, you’ll learn the systems I use to make sure that my business runs smoothly even if I have to step back for a bit. By growing through some of the systems I use in my 5-part framework, I’ll teach you how you can keep on serving your clients and generating revenue while you’re away.
On this episode of Promote Yourself to CEO:
5:09 - I talk about the biggest changes I’ve made for more flexibility in the “delight” stage of my framework.
9:18 - What do these changes look like functionally inside of The CEO Collective?
18:20 - How do I make sure sales keep coming in even if I have to step away from my business?
25:08 - If you think you need to be active in the nurture marketing stage all the time, systems are your friend here. I reveal how.
31:29 - Where do I spend the majority of my time, and why should you do the same?
39:33 - It took me a long time to follow this final piece of advice.
