Let's see them out in style!

Celebrate your summer memories, with a 2 minute grand finale of the best fireworks in the world, courtesy of Walt Disney World. 🎇🎆

Took my breath away and brought a tear watching these displays back. If I lived in Orlando, I'd be in those parks every night just for this!

So, enjoy:

Magic Kingdom: 4th July Fireworks finale.
Epcot: Luminous - The Symphony of Us finale.
Epcot: 4th July Fireworks finale.
Magic Kingdom: Happily Ever After finale.

As the Summer Holidays draw to a close, I invite you, as a Solopreneur, to reflect and be honest about how this summer has gone.

The day to day, whilst juggling the school holidays, the run up to your vacation, your presence on holiday, how you returned ... and generally how you feel it's gone.

I truly hope it's been incredible and you've made lifelong memories.

Take note of what went well and how it came about.

Take note of what you'd like to avoid or do better next time.

Also take a moment to consider who has helped you this summer and thank them.

Equally, if you've been trying to figure it all out yourself, consider whether it would help having someone by your side who gets what it's like being a Solopreneur.

As always, it's important to review, learn and act on that learning, even when it comes to something like the Summer Holidays.

Our summer has been a blast, and we're already planning our next. How about you?

My favourite client moment this summer was this ...

A business owner who went away with their family for the longest time they've been on holiday, not stressed in the run up, totally disconnected from work whilst away, didn't dread coming back, and surprise surprise nothing "bad" happened whilst they were away.

If that sounds remarkably similar to what I've been encouraging and sharing for the last two months ... that's because it is. That's been the goal.

But there's a Big difference between knowing the theory and putting the work in to make it happen. This client did ... and got the results ... and "Be where your feet are" has even become one of their favourite mantras.

Now, here's what's really important ... this client has an incredibly vivid imagination! They can imagine worse case scenarios like it's a gift! So much so that the past has been full of stress, anxiety, fear, total distraction, unable to switch off, reluctance to go away and at times choosing not to go away or coming home early.

This summer was, therefore, Massive ... and I've ensured they've really taken that in and given themselves the credit they deserve.

Because here's the wonderful thing ... now they know it's possible for them. Not others. For them.

They have the tools and real life factual experience that squashes all the fear mongering fictional stories.

With that comes confidence, courage, belief, faith and trust ... that they can take into any time away from their business, be that 12 hours, 2 days, a week, or longer.

The lesson here is you get the lifestyle and confidence you're willing to put the work in for.

For my amazing business owner clients that means investing in support that gets it, that's lived it, that's figured it out, that's willing to listen, understand and share what works. Together we then add a healthy dose of accountability, encouragement and celebration.

So the question is, how was Your summer, and do you have the right support by your side to help you experience the summer holiday and lifestyle you want?

Enjoy and reflect this Bank Holiday weekend.

As we approach the summer Bank Holiday weekend, before the school year starts next week, firstly enjoy it.

Have fun and give summer a great finale.

Secondly, reflect on this summer.

What have been your Highlights? Even share them below, I'd love to hear what you've been up to.

What did you do to create those Highlights?

Equally, what hasn't quite gone how you'd have liked, and how did that come about?

As my clients and community know, I'm all about what we've learnt and then applying that learning.

So if things have gone well and you'd like to replicate them next summer - or at any time - make a note of that.

If there were things you'd like to improve, make a note of them too!

It's much easier to do this now, whilst it's fresh, than later.

So, go enjoy the Bank Holiday weekend, and ask yourself "what have I learnt this summer?".

Maybe this summer hasn't quite gone to plan.

If you've been a little more distracted with work this summer than you would have liked ...

If you haven't quite spent the time you'd have liked with your family this summer ...
.. it's not too late.

In this final week of the summer holidays, here in England, now's the time to reconnect and make yourself available.

It's not about making up for lost time; it's about being present - where your feet are - today.

Please don't write off this summer and say you'll try harder next year.

This summer is still here. Your children are still off from school. Next year they'll be a whole year older and they'll be a whole different person! Trust me!

Embrace the time left and enjoy it.

The final week of the summer holidays ...

Enjoy it.

Whether you're going away or staying home, make the most of it.

Next week the schools are back. School runs, uniform, lunch boxes, folders, bags, PE kit, homework, after school clubs, parent evenings, exam stress, friendship strains, maybe even a new school or college. It all starts.

As parents, our year is influenced more by the school year than anything else.

So, enjoy this week with your family, without the academic routine and everything that comes with it.

This time is precious and important.

Don't take it for granted ...
.. because some people are worth melting for and might just need a warm summer hug! 😉

Back from holiday? Worried about returning from holiday?

Give yourself time and space to catch up with where things are and make informed decisions about your first steps.

You are not making up for lost time, and the first thing that crosses your desk isn't necessarily the first thing that requires your attention.
.. and for goodness sake don't go booking - or allowing others to book - back to back meetings in your diary on your first days back!

Being a business owner is about owning your time and availability. So, own it.
.. and welcome home, I hope you had a great summer vacation!

Worried something's going to happen to your business whilst you're away?

It's a common concern amongst Solopreneurs.

The likelihood of something catastrophic happening to your business though is extremely unlikely.

Let's switch it round though to if something unexpected did happen ...

You've successfully dealt with every single challenge and unexpected thing that's happened in your life - personally and professionally.

You even took the courageous leap to think up and launch your own business!

You're incredible, and you're far more capable than you give yourself credit.

So, work on replacing your worry with confidence.

You've got this. Go enjoy your summer holiday.

If you're in need of some positivity and maybe some magic on this here's a short clip from the finale of the Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away parade at Magic Kingdom. ✨️

Filmed on the final night of our holiday last month, right in front of the castle, it was a beautiful and emotional experience.

Hope it brings you some joy today.
