Are you all set for summer?

What are your summer goals?

Usually when I talk about goals, I’m talking about launching a podcast or writing a book. 

This time, my goal for this summer is take a bunch of time off.

You know me, I hate the cold weather. So winter is the perfect time for me to hunker down and get work done. Now that it’s warming up and we’re heading into summer, I’m definitely in more of a vacation mindset. 

What about you? What’s summer going to look like for you? Will your kids be in an extended school year online? Are you planning a getaway? Or thinking about how to manage childcare so that you can keep up with your clients, you know, a freelancer summer?

The thing is, if you don’t spend a little bit of time now to plan your summer, it’s still going to happen — it’s just going to sneak up and you and force you to conform to whatever is going on in the moment. 

If you take the time now to plan what you WANT your summer to look like, you have a much better chance of living that reality — whether it’s margaritas on the beach (you’ll call me, right?) or quiet mornings working while your kids are at camp. 

Need some help to figure things out? No problem. We’ve got videos on how to take a vacation without burning down your business, my best time-blocking tips for moms, maintaining boundaries with your clients, how you can work from anywhere, and how to juggle motherhood and your freelance life.

I’d love to hear your freelancer summer plans, mama, so head over to this thread and let us know what’s going on!

Summer is coming — and I’m pretty excited!
