In this episode, Ivy Slater chats with us about the importance of conducting a mid-year review for our businesses and ourselves. Ivy encourages everyone to pause and evaluate their progress so far in 2025, analyze what’s working and what’s not, and determine where to focus for the rest of the year. She also shares actionable insights on how to course correct and leverage resources moving forward.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
How to conduct a half-year review of your business, including evaluating progress toward your goals and checking if you’re on track.
-
What specific areas to assess at the mid-year mark: financials, team performance, and marketing effectiveness.
-
When to take action, using the mid-year as a prime opportunity to course-correct and double down on what’s working.
-
Why evaluating sources of new business (like conferences or referrals) can help refine your focus for the remainder of the year.
-
How and why to prioritize rejuvenation and personal enjoyment—even during a business review—since recharging boosts energy and creativity.
