Thrive Through Summer Bonus EP01 - The Summer Struggle Is a Mindset Problem (not a business one)

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'

Welcome 👋

Hello my lovely people! Welcome to this juicy bonus episode of the Treat Your Business Podcast. I’m Katie Bell, and yes, I am 37 weeks pregnant, recording podcasts while preparing to go on maternity leave and exit two businesses at the same time. Because why not throw in four bonus episodes for you to enjoy over the summer? My gut told me you needed this, so here we are!

Episode Summary 🌞

This is the first episode of my brand new “Thrive Through Summer” bonus series. I created this for clinic owners and business owners who want a summer that isn’t defined by financial dips or emotional burnout. Whether you’re juggling kids, staff on holiday, or just trying to take some well-deserved time off, this series is all about flipping the script. Summer doesn’t have to mean lost momentum or money. Let’s make it a season of leverage, not survival.

Key Takeaways 🌱

• Mindset is everything. The expectation of a slow summer can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Plan for the season, don’t just react to it.
• You deserve time off. Your business should support your need for rest, not fight against it.
• Vision needs space. You cannot grow your clinic from a place of depletion. Taking intentional time off leads to creativity, better leadership, and stronger boundaries.
• Rest is revenue generating. Your worth isn’t measured by how available you are. Model healthy boundaries for your team and your clients.
• Leverage the summer slowdown. Step back from the doing and review your business design, delegate, automate, and pre-sell packages.
• Set clear boundaries. Book your own time off first, communicate plans early, and set digital boundaries for true rest.
• Less is more. Focus on the one or two things that protect your revenue and profit right now. If your business relies on you 24/7, it’s time to make a change.
