Do you ever find yourself feeling frustrated and unfocused in your business to the point where you know you aren't doing the things that need to be done in order to get you to your big business goals?
This can be especially prominent in the summer.
So, instead of giving you a list of things you can do to "keep up", in this episode, I want to share how you can balance work and time off. How you can take a break without falling behind, and the ONE practice I have put in place in my business that ensures that I'm staying focused and on track towards achieving my goals... even during the summer.
Even if you do nothing else for your business over the summer apart from this, you will be MORE than okay.
We are here to keep things simple and strategic, to create success on your terms. You’re here because you want more freedom, more flexibility, and more impact - you want to be able to create your own definition of success.
But one of the biggest challenges I hear from you is: we set those big dreams and goals at the beginning of the year, but a few weeks or months in, we find ourselves off track. We find ourselves struggling with those shiny objects that keep asking for our attention, begging for our attention, and as a result, we're not getting where we need to go.
Sound familiar? Do you relate to that feeling of sitting down at your desk and just feeling completely unsure of where your time and energy should be focused each and every day?
Well, if that's you, you're in luck because I’ve got you covered today.
The one practice I have that helps me stay focused each and every week in my business is... (drumroll please)... my Weekly Prep Meeting.
Here's what we cover in this episode:
The purpose of having a weekly CEO date in your business (plus how to carve out the time for it) Two major parts of this weekly self-accountability session that mean you can work through this in 30 minutes or less The only two metrics you need to track in your business (and how to identify them for you specifically) All the steps we go through for the Weekly Prep Meeting, and what tasks and projects you need to be laying out for the week ahead This episode takes you through this step-by-step (it's truly one of mine and my clients' favourite parts of running our businesses!
To making it happen,
Holly

In this episode, I have another client case study for you, where I’m breaking down how my client doubled her turnover in a year.
You’ll learn more about their results and strategies to make this happen, as well as get lessons to implement in your own business.
I’m going to walk you through how she achieved this using The Focus Method that I mentor and manage my clients through.
What’s so interesting about this is that we worked together to implement this method into her business to generate these results - and we’re about to do the same again for her next level, next iteration, next phase of business which I’ll also talk about!
We’ll dive into:
How to stay the course when you’re in the “messy middle”
Why it’s safe to raise your prices (and important to do so)
The importance of staying true to who you are and what you preach

270: Proven strategies for a fully booked business on repeat

Here's all the info you need about The FOCUS Experience! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MQBXEOOj4ZWC_hdYV1AEk7Rx5iiY9YQ0-sPj0UFtcVY/edit?usp=sharing
Welcome back to the podcast! We’re continuing our series around running your business on an operating system so you can generate more sales and visibility in less time.
So far, we’ve talked about where The FOCUS method can take you, what’s currently holding you back from building the business and life you want, and today - we’re going to dive into proven strategies to create a full booked business on repeat.
As a mentor, I am BIG on implementation.
Because being fully booked once is one thing. But sustaining it from there is the biggest difference. Not to mention sustaining a fully booked business while life naturally “lifes”.
There’s also a big different between just running on intuition vs having a plan and a strong foundation.
We want both - the space for creativity and intuition, as well as a sustainable system to grow from.
So let’s dive into 6 proven strategies that can help you build a fully booked business on repeat.
It’s going to be juicy!

Here's all the info you need about The FOCUS Experience! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MQBXEOOj4ZWC_hdYV1AEk7Rx5iiY9YQ0-sPj0UFtcVY/edit?usp=sharing
Buckle up, because we’re going to talk about the elephant in the room in terms of what could be holding you back from reaching your next milestone in business.
Last week I really spoke about what is possible for you when you implement my FOCUS Operating System into your business.
But I also think it’s important as your Mentor, to meet you where you’re at.
The FOCUS Operating System has been created based on the 6 most common problems I’ve seen clients struggle with in their businesses.
In this episode, I’m going to walk you through each one (using REAL words from my clients), how these might manifest in your business PLUS how to solve each one using a component from the FOCUS Operating System.
It’s going to be a good one!

Customer Reviews
Obsessed with Holly!
Holly is a breath of fresh air for entrepreneurs. She embodies what she teaches and makes me feel supported in my own dreams and goals!
Great info!
Just started listening. So I am going backwards. I’ve listened to the most recent so I am going back and listening to all the old episodes. I could listen to Holly all day! She is a great motivator!
A Bloggers Best Friend (Next to Tea and a Laptop)
Holly is such a sweet, down-to-earth, brilliant host, and her Blog It Boss It Podcast is every blogger’s dream. Not only does she take the time to walk listeners through her tips and tricks so they really understand how to apply them, but she also shares the hard truths about blogging. It’s tough. Some days are hard. Some days you want to quit. And I love that Holly GETS it. She shares her journey to success through like-minded eyes. Listening to her is like listening to a friend you admire. She holds your hand, encourages you, builds you up, and makes sure every listener feels important and needed in the blogosphere. I always walk away feeling empowered and excited for what new journeys blogging will take me on. This is such a great podcast to listen to.
