If your summer schedule is “I’ll try to take Fridays off (but probably won’t)”, this episode is going to change that. Karin Velez, founder of the Growth Table Small Business Collective, walks you through how to set real summer hours as a solopreneur or microbusiness owner: the three decisions you need to make to design your container, three schedule models that work, and the three scripts you’ll need to communicate the change to your active clients, your potential clients, and your general audience without apologizing or losing business. You’ll also learn how to hold the line when the first push-back comes (and it will), and what to do when you break your own rule. Pull up a seat at the table and let’s get into it. - If you want a place to do this work alongside other solopreneurs, supporting each other in building sustainable businesses that don’t burn us out, come join me in the Growth Table Small Business Collective. It’s a private community off social media with monthly workshops, virtual coffees, mentoring and more. You can find us at GrowthTableSBC.com .
