This is a Client Case Study, and today we’re talking about the TWO choices you have for your work schedule this summer - which are you picking?

What happens when your kids get home from school? 

What does that do to your work hours?

What do you *want* that to do to your work hours?

This is what one of my clients came to me with recently. She was looking forward to the start of the summer break season, but also practically evaluating her schedule and cutting down on client hours so she could spend more time with her kids.

Note: this was because she *wanted* to, not because she felt she "ought" to. 

If you can't reduce your work hours for some reason, there are all sorts of other ways we can make summer special for your family.

But ultimately it's about what do *you* want your summer work schedule to look like this year.

Go on, think about it! What's *your* version of an ideal summer? What do *you* dream of doing with the kids - and with your business - during this break?

See, I don't have a one-size-fits-all summer rhythms advice or summer business prep strategy for my clients. 

I listen to what *they* want first.

Because if you wanted a "half a break off going to the pool with the kids" and "the other half head down working while they're at summer camp" kind of summer, my job is to *support* that - not tell you why that's a bad idea or "good" business owners shouldn't do that.

You're a mom! You've got kids! You *want* to make your summers enjoyable for them!

So let this be permission to you, like it was to my client, to decide what *you* want out of summer *first*.

Not what you *think* you want, or what you *should* want - what you actually *do* want. Go from the ground up. 

Weekends, weeknights, mid-days - what do you picture as happening? What does that practically mean for you? Where are you fitting in client work?

And *that's* when we can brainstorm, and strategize, and shift everything around for you to have a *supportive*, enjoyable, summer off-or-not experience.

Because I’m ALL about MORE time with your kids – which is EXACTLY what I’ll show you how to get in my work/life balance program – AND making sure you cover your responsibilities on the CEO side of things.

Because you’re not dropping one, or the other – you’re BOTH. And it’s not acceptable to you to NOT fill both. So I’m going to provide you with the nitty gritty scheduling strategies – and outsourcing ones! - that allow you to ramp DOWN and ramp UP your work according to your school break schedule – so that you never run into “oops! I scheduled my launch for right then” regrets again.

So here's the end of the story. My client knew, right off, that she wanted to take one weekday off (the entire summer) so she could spend more time with her kids.

So she notified the appropriate people on her team, set her new schedule in place, and started looking *forward* to the break up ahead.

Because what *she* wanted most was family memories, and a bit of a biz break.

And that's what excited her most.

Over to you now - what sounds *exciting* about your summer schedule options right now? What sounds incredibly life-giving to you?

*That's* the one I want you to put on your schedule.

Deal? Deal.
