886: The Slow Season Strategy: Proven Ways to Boost Sales When Business Dips
You know those moments in business where things suddenly feel a little too quiet? Maybe the inquiries slow down, sales dip, or your calendar just isn’t as packed as usual. It can feel unsettling, especially when you’re not sure why it’s happening or how long it’s going to last.
The truth is, EVERY entrepreneur hits those slower seasons. In my business, summer tends to be our slow season. Depending on what you do, it may be around the holidays, or in the Fall. Having busy and slow seasons is a natural part of running a business. The most important thing is for us to make the most out of these ebbs and flows to prepare for when things pick back up again.
That’s why today I’m bringing back a conversation that originally aired a few years ago about four strategies I lean on when things slow down in my own business. They’re timeless, practical, and focused on helping you use these quieter times to your advantage!
So whether you’re currently feeling the weight of a slower season or just want to be prepared for the next one, this episode is packed with four simple yet effective ways to reignite momentum and boost your sales. Let’s get into it!

884: The Summer of Systems: Inside Our Playbook Project for Peace & Clarity
This summer, I am not focused on launching something new. I am focused on building something essential: playbooks. Clear, step-by-step documentation that makes our business run smoother, with or without me.
Dan Martell’s book Buy Back Your Time reminded me that real freedom comes from documented systems, not just delegation. And my friend Stacy Tuschl challenged us to not just build playbooks, but to test them. That hit hard!
The truth is, I learned this lesson the hard way. One of my team members broke her foot during a major launch and suddenly we realized she was the only one who knew how to do a few key crucial elements of her job.
From that moment on, I knew that if we wanted peace, to grow with ease, and to actually protect our people, we had to build the playbooks for each role. So, come along this journey with me while I explain what a playbook is, how we’re building them out, and how we’re testing them!

What happens when Instagram expert Brock Johnson grills me about my favorite platform? A rapid-fire strategy session that turned into a full-blown Pinterest masterclass.
