In my last post I shared the challenges for many moms that work at home because we have little, medium, and even big ones that seem to hang around the house all the time. To say the temporary summer schedule is disruptive is an understatement.

Summer time is a necessary time to be flexible with your home based business. Although I haven’t been writing as much, that doesn’t mean I’ve ceased all income producing activities when it comes to my business, far from it.

In fact, I’ve been more proactive in “branching out” … talking and making new friends in person this summer than I have throughout the year. Taking a step back from writing for my blog and un-plugging (okay, reduced) from social media have been liberating because I’m forced to be creative.

And by using the summer opportunity (where you’re more likely to meet people with kids) to plant the seeds for the new season, you have something to work with when school starts. When the kids are back in school that’s when women/moms are more likely to consider starting a business or do something while their kids are in school.

As I head into the fall, I’ll share more on some of the “creative” networking I did this summer while out and about with my kids. Okay, most of it isn’t anything new, but the point is it’s amazing what you can do with the time you’ve got IF you’re open-minded enough to get creative and explore different ways to keep on growing your business. 

Exciting things are happening in the next few months. My company will be hosting its FIRST annual conference in viva Las Vegas first week of November. What a great way to celebrate the company’s growth and the bright future ahead in just a couple  years in business. Not to mention it will be a great weekend with the girls sans kids .

I’m also going to do a few changes to this blog and update you on what I’m working on. It will be an organic process but exciting all the same.

I’d love to hear what’s on your plate heading into fall. Feel free to share your plans with us in the comment area.

Chat with you soon .
