Have you heard this song by The Happenings?  It was a hit way before my time, but the radio stations still play it every year in May and June. 

 I’ll be alone each and every night


While you’re away, don’t forget to write

Bye-bye, so long, farewell


 

See you in September


See you when the summer’s through

 For so many solopreneurs, this becomes their theme song.  They develop and accept the mindset that summer business will be slow and they stop taking action.  Often, solopreneurs “wrongly” assume that everything will pick up again in September.  The problem is that your business can’t go from a speed of 4 or 5 (or even worse, 2 or 3) and then automatically to 10 in September.  You’re just too far away and your speed is too slow. 

 

See you in September


See you when the summer’s through


Here we are

Saying goodbye at the station

Summer vacation

Is taking you away

Have a good time but remember


There is danger in the summer moon above


Then what happens is you become scared, frustrated or even desperate because the business you were counting on to happen at the end of the summer, isn’t showing up. 

Can you really afford to not make money over the summer?  Can you really afford to go 3 or 4 months without that steady income?  If you can, you’re in the minority. But most solopreneurs, have to have that income coming in at all times.

Also, your clients (that you were counting on) may find someone new (as this song says “ …
Or lose you to a summer love”) to do business with.  Where does that leave you?  Probably more frustrated and scared than before. 

 

Will I see you in September


Or lose you to a summer love
(counting the days ’til I’ll be with you)
(counting the hours and the minutes, too)

 Here are my Success Tips for you: 

1. Realistically look at how much money you want and need to make this summer.  Set a goal by looking at what you earned in previous years and increase it – 10% is a good amount to use.
2. Realistically, look at how many hours you are willing to work this summer.  If you have children who will be out of school in the summer, your work hours may change or be limited in the summer.  You want to make sure you set yourself up to succeed
3. Check out my brand-new program which was created to help you have consistent income throughout the entire summer.  I’m going to teach you what action steps to take to make money throughout the entire summer.  Here’s the link to learn more: http://www.successcoachingwithKate.com/quickcash
