A few years ago, I never thought I'd be able to take time off my author business or marketing business because I was working so much, but this summer, I have 6 weeks of travel and am enjoying every minute of it!
In this week's episode, I'm sharing the 4 different steps I took to prepare my business for time away, so that I wouldn't have to work much while traveling and so that I could truly step away without stress or having a ton of work to do when I'm back. We'll talk about organic marketing, paid advertising, collaborations (and more), and how to keep things going if you want to take well-deserved time away from your work!
