Learn how to manage your business and family and build a business that is a benefit to your family and not a burden.Meet AbbeyHey there! I am Abbey. I started in business a decade ago when I opened my own photography studio, AK Studio & Design. I was just like so many others out there. I struggled to figure out how to run a profitable, effective business that made me happy and wasn’t a burden on my family.Have you ever felt that way? Do you stay up long after everyone else has gone to bed? Do you entertain your kids with technology so you can sneak work in? I have been there and I know how that makes us feel as both business owners and parents and it isn’t good.We all started these businesses to be a BENEFIT to our families, right? But it's really easy for that dream to get lost in the details of doing the work. It took a lot of hard work but I finally figured it all out and grew my business from a one-woman hustle to a thriving team. I was able to put all my business degree skills to the ultimate test.And now with my team at Seven Summers Creative we are helping even more of you do that exact thing!Noteworthy(0:51) Who is Abbey Kyhl(1:49) How to build a business that is a benefit to your family and not a burden(2:48) Their team of moms(4:07) Time management pre kids vs. Time management after kids(7:02) Recognizing the season you’re in and working with it(7:36) The Jar Approach(9:30) The reason behind the name 7Summers Creative(11:16) Have you always had a business that fits with motherhood?(14:30) THE SHIFT!(18:16) Being ok with who you are and the epitome of Pinterest Moms(22:40) The pressures we put on ourselves and motherhood(26:40) Abbey’s workweek(33:00) Starting the habit of being unplugged and getting to bed earlier(40:37) Spend 3 Hours a Week on Marketing(45:37) Motherhood/Business Hack(45:48) Mel Robbins 5 Second Rule(45:57) If you could do it all over again what would you tell yourself or do differently(46:19) Favorite app/software/system(47:57) Emily Ley’s notes app tips(48:14) Best book you’ve read or are going to readBetter than Before by Gretchen RubinThe Four Tendencies by Gretchen RubinThe Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin(51:52) Where to connect with AbbeyLinks to ConnectJoin the $1k Mom TribeScreenshot today’s episode and tag me on Instagram Stories7 Summers Creative Website7 Summers Creative Facebook Group7 Summers Creative Instagram
