Balancing Act: Entrepreneurial Wisdom for a Relaxing Summer
Hey there, it's your host Saskia, and I'm back with another episode of Pattern Shift. Today, I'm excited to share some valuable insights from fellow creative entrepreneurs about how they approach their businesses during the summer months. Summer is often seen as a time to relax and take a break, but how does that translate into the world of business? Let's dive in and hear what some of our guests have to say.
Guests include artists Anna Bauer and Natasa Heijdra, Hanna Lisa Haferkamp (Making Stories), Linda de Ruiter (the Slow Wardrobe), therapist Kathleen Kettles, Solveig Petch (Petchy) and Pilar Letelier (Cabeza de Alfiler). I also share my personal ideas and best practices. How I schedules my day, what works best for me, what I have learned over the years about taking breaks and how to do it, and how to reflect on your business.
MAIN TAKEAWAYS
- Find a rhythm that works for you. Understanding your own needs and finding a schedule that works for you can help you be more productive and take breaks when you need them.
- Reflect on your business. Take time to think about what they really want and what their business needs, and to listen to their bodies and their minds.
- Embrace the unique rhythm that summer brings to your creative practice.
- Adapt your offerings to meet changing customer preferences during the summer.
- Intentional breaks are essential for recharging and business development. They can help you make conscious decisions
