Are you afraid your business will tank if you take a little time off? Truth is, as mompreneurs, we don’t necessarily have a choice about how we spend our time in the summer. With the kids home from school, many of us have increased family responsibilities and less time to focus on our online business pursuits. And I’m here to tell you that’s not just okay, but healthy.
In this episode of The Inspired Business Podcast, we’re talking about some practical ways to keep investing in your business through the summer even as you limit the time you spend on it. Ultimately, as Christian business owners and messengers, we run our work according to our values. Taking time off to focus on family during the summer months just might speak louder to your audience than any blog post or podcast episode ever will. Tune in to discover how to maintain your business and your sanity through a summer of pause.
