Hello, hello and welcome to the show. Today, we are talking about summer proofing for six figure CEOs, how to step back without your revenue dipping, and similar disclaimer to the beginning of last week’s episode, there are nuggets to take regardless as to whether you are making six figures yet. So if you have not yet hit that elusive sales goal, then please stay with me, because what I have learned in my experience about both supporting my clients and on my own business growth trajectory is that the sooner you start thinking and operating like a six figure CEO, the sooner that actually materializes. So there’s a lot of good stuff that I’m about to share that you should, 100% already be creating the foundations for to enable you to attract in more money with more ease. And that’s what this whole show is about, right? Make more money without selling your soul. And for me, selling your soul is not being able to take a break over the summer. Now, I know there’s a strong personal bias here. I also know there’s a very relevant UK bias in that we have to tolerate gray weather like 75% of the year. So damn right, when the sun is shining, do I want to be outside? Plus, I am a little kind of covert nature bunny, like I’m a city girl, but my goodness, I’m the happiest on a sunny day in the trees having a picnic. I was going to say with my kids, but actually, with or without. Anyway, let’s get into this. So this episode is going to finally confront how much of a bottleneck Are you still in your business, and how to fix it before August turns into a stress fest. So I’m recording this beginning of May. If you’re listening to this as it drops, then you still have plenty of time to get ahead and get these systems in place.
So if you’re thinking, Polly, this is a bit early, like we’re barely into the summer, that is exactly why we start working now for the summer we desire to have that is always the way when it comes to business. And I know if you’re six figure business, you know that anyway, right? Like if you are already making six figures, chances are you are out of the weeds of being reactive, and you are planning ahead. But let me help you do that with more efficiency. Consider this the equivalent of like your travel checklist, where we just make sure you’ve packed everything, not just in your suitcase for the perfect holiday, but into your business for the ability to be as off as you can possibly be. I’m not going to go into it, but there have been other episodes where we’ve discussed what a danger burnout is for online business owners, because of the very nature that online business is on all the time. So when I’m sharing this stuff, I’m not just sharing it through the lens of I want you to have a business that almost feels too good to be true. I want you to have that cushy business. Because while yes, that is true, if you are also considering what I’m sharing right now and indulgence, I would encourage you to reflect on yourself and your long term goals for your business, because if rest and ease isn’t baked into how you do things, then you, my friend, could potentially be on the trajectory towards burnout. So I want you to really take these things on board, because these are the things that prevent burnout, so that you can truly be off and not just pretending to be off. We all know what I’m saying. Yes, I’ve been there too.
Okay, so as I’ve just said, you know, are you the bottleneck in your business? Let’s add a little personal story here for some context. So back in I think it was 2022, I was really excited, because my business was finally making enough money for me to not only take my family on holiday for two weeks to a gorgeous Spanish Villa and hang out in the hair and go to the gorgeous sandy beaches and have that moment of enormous pride, if anyone’s ever been to one of my free trainings, I often share an image of myself in the pool with my two kids, and it’s an awful picture of me, like my eyes are shut. I remember that feeling every time I look at that picture, and the pride I felt that I’d gone from being the single mum stuck in a tiny flat who could barely afford a day out to being able to afford a villa with a pool and hang out with my kids was just a real, a real milestone for me, a real i I’ve made it moment like, if I can do this, I can do anything. And then on the flip side of that, I took my lovely now husband, who, back then was a boyfriend for a. Three week kind of trip around Crete, and we spent those three weeks traveling. Now, on the surface, yes, it looked like I’d made it. And yes, there were lots of elements about that trip which were undeniably amazing. I mean, you could be working from home, or you could be working from, you know, a Greek little kind of chair on a balcony looking over the beautiful, shimmering sea. Of course, of course. You know, working from that environment doesn’t feel so much like work, and when you do work, you love again. But here’s the thing, here’s the kicker. Oh my goodness, I’m sounding like chatgpt. I just said here’s the kicker. But anyway, here’s the thing. When I booked that holiday to Greece, I’d taken two weeks off for Spain, and I thought, I don’t dare take another three weeks off for Greece. So I was planning to work while I was in Greece, and the whole thing was an absolute disaster. Everywhere that I had booked that said it had Wi Fi. I mean, it was a very generous definition of Wi Fi, like there was a thing that would very slowly allow you to upload your Facebook page within about five minutes. There was no way in hell I was going to be able to manage Facebook ad accounts, which, if you’ve ever been an ads manager, it’s already a very slow loading thing. There are in top patchy Wi Fi, and it’s basically impossible to open. Also zoom calls. I ended up having to Voxer people instead of hosting zoom calls, because it was impossible for us to stay talking to one another without me cutting out or the sound or the visuals going messy. It was a disaster, and I had to actually eventually, for my own mental health and sanity, just become more loosely attached to what was going on. And funnily enough, because I was less in delivery mode, because I couldn’t be in delivery mode, but I was still able to make lots of invitations and message people. I ended up having one of my profitable months in business ever. That was where I talk about my making 50k from my sunbed. So here’s a little extra context to add. And it wasn’t all pretty. It was a reaction to a situation where I couldn’t be on.
Fortunately, at that stage, I developed enough of a team that I could just about trust in their ability to manage things, and I could troubleshoot with them live. But was it the most relaxing holiday ever? No, is it one of the main reasons behind why I now take August off? Yes, I learned very quickly over those five weeks that I was still very much the bottleneck in various areas of my business, and that it wasn’t an easy thing to separate myself from the business and leave my team in charge. And I kind of decided afterwards, what’s the point in creating those beautiful holiday experiences with my family, if I can’t be truly present with them, and do I have a business that needs me to be on all the time? So let me share with you the three things I like to take into consideration, and that I feel are pretty universal in terms of, how do you ensure that you are a, not the bottleneck in your business, and be, very importantly, able to take time away from your business. Because, let’s face it, as I regularly reference from, I think, the E Myth book, you know, if you are your business, you basically just have a glorified job. You do not own a business. Your business owns you, okay? And I don’t want that to be the case, because, like I say, those are the kind of businesses that burn out within less than five years. Okay, so number one, and I’m actually going to put this ahead of stuff that may seem more obvious, but communication, we’re going to go into systems and funnels because they’re also super relevant too. But if you have both systems and funnels and communications aren’t baked into those systems, then it won’t matter if all of those things exist if nobody knows they exist, okay? And what I’ve learned is, no matter how good your systems are, quite often we need to add a manual, or, you know, an actual interaction with people, to ensure that they remember that we are taking this time out, because there is nothing worse than getting on a plane and getting a panicked communication. From a client. Do you think you’re going to switch off on that plane journey, or do you think you will be reeling in your brain over the response you should be giving that client again?
Maybe it’s more of a reflection of my own psyche, but I know I work with a lot of a lot of very good human beings who had struggled to switch off knowing that their clients are feeling a need to speak to you or reach out to you and are unable to get you, or similarly, a team member who is in panic mode, and we can avoid that. Okay, so in terms of communication, how do we get around it? One of them is, tell your clients early, let them know you’ll be offline well ahead of time, like four to six weeks. I mean, I just keep on reminding them, week to week to week. How do we do that? We do that by having it in my email signature, and more, by the way, this is part of it. One part of it is having it baked into your email signature, saying that you know we are going to, I’m going to be away in this time and directing them to resources, templates, your VA anyone else who can help them. In that time, so that they’re aware of who they can go to. We actually have a really fabulous template, if we’re out of office, which a lot of my clients take to make their own because they think it’s so good. So if you want that, I’m going to be including that in a checklist that covers everything I’m sharing this episode. So simply, DM me the word checklist if you’d like to have that template, which is also within the checklist. The other thing that helps people know about it is, you know, make it part of your contract. Make it that when they sign up, they you know, I always include in any 12-month agreement or inside my group programs that they get. Say, if it’s 12 months that they’re actually getting 13 months, but one of those months includes no live calls, just resources, prompts and access to our tools. So in many ways, that for them is great. It’s like a bonus month.
They can still get access to a lot of the goodies in your world. The difference is, is they can’t get access to you. And what I’d say is a bonus alongside that, is when you model that kind of boundary and give yourself that kind of rest and ability to be away from your business, it gives your clients permission to do the same, they’ll respect you for it, and usually feel relieved that they don’t have to pretend to be on all summer either, or have to juggle finding a way to attend calls, when perhaps it might be more challenging for them as well. You know, a lot of clients reflect to me in August that they equally don’t have much time or desire to be implementing heavily over August. So actually, having that break works really well for them too. And it’s stuff like that that we can get in our own heads, right, and be like, Oh, they’re going to be upset.
Oh, they’re going to, like, struggle without me. It’s all stories. Just remind yourself of that. It’s all stories. And with communication, we help these people get ahead. So another thing we do, aside from having it in the signature, aside from having in our contract, we also proactively encourage our clients to book in advance. So my VA will nudge people in my world, my one to ones to kind of ensure make sure you know they don’t just say book in your July call, they will say and if there’s anything you need to ask Polly before August, this is the cutoff date. Make sure that you have, you know, booked, either booked your call in by then, or asked your Burning Question by then. Or, you know, this is the last date that you can speak to her on Voxer before it reopens again in September. You know, pre warned is prepared. And where this can often so go wrong is somebody saying, but I didn’t see it in the contract. I didn’t see it in the email signature. And let’s be honest, that’s an easy thing to do. We’re bombarded with information, so make sure the important people in your world know. So beyond the one to one, similarly, in my group program, I’ll almost do a kind of live call countdown where I’m like, right? It’s July. We’ve got three more of these calls, then I’m off for August. So make sure you’re rinsing these calls. If you are using August to get ahead before September, let’s make sure it’s all dialed in before I’m away, because I will not be answering any burning questions during that time period. Okay? And again, people don’t mind when they know the challenges is when they’ve totally missed the memo, and I can at least feel good when I’m like, it’s in our signature, it’s in the contract. It’s been referenced three times as a notification within the group, and it’s been mentioned at the beginning of every coaching call. In that scenario, you can feel pretty good that responsibility was on them and not yourself, because you made it visible in as many ways as humanly possible, and they similarly will recognize that too. And of course, you know, lots of my clients listen to this podcast. So this is, this is a reminder in and as of itself.
Okay, so number one is communication. Like you say, systems are great, funnels are great. But ultimately, the human touch in business is so important. Anyone who’s in my world knows how that’s one of the big differentiating factors about working with me, is that, in the same way, if you go into a good restaurant, people go in above and beyond to personalize the experience for you and make it special. Well, if you’re in a boring chain, they treat you like a number. I see the same in the business and coaching mentoring world, and that’s just not how I roll premium vibes all around my friend. I take care of my clients, and I make sure that there is that human element of like, Yes, I’m going to do my best to make sure that you are supported, and I’m going to make sure you see that. Okay, so number two is systems, right? This is the more obvious one. This is where it gets real. If your team still has to come to you for decisions or direction, you haven’t built systems. You’ve built dependency. You’re not managing a team. You’re managing chaos, as my lovely client, Kate would say, from rise higher, when I saw her say that, I was like, yes, yes, my friend, that is it. Okay? So these are the things I want you thinking about before we get to your summer break. Build solid SOPs. Those are standard operating procedures. Okay, from onboarding to email replies, nothing should rely on your brain power. If there is anything repetitive that you are doing in your business and you haven’t automated or delegated it, then, now is the time to be doing that. Now, again, I’m assuming you’re a six-figure business, so chances are you’ve done a lot of that, but there is usually always opportunity for refinement. There is usually something sneaky that starts to drop. In. Now is a good time to kind of see what is that sneaky thing that we can be adding in. You know, are all our platforms up to date and doing what they should be doing? You know, we recently realized that our podcast onboarding system wasn’t letting people know that we record the videos of the episode, and so people were arriving with no makeup and not their hair done. And it was through recognizing, oh, we needed to update that. So if you’re not, you know, at least quarterly update, you know, auditing your systems to ensure that any updates have been added to your systems.
Make sure you’re doing that certainly before you want to go away. Track where your team are still asking questions. So if you’re like me, we have our SOPs, we have our air table where they’re all, you know, there we have drives full of templates, you know, to respond to various different things. And, you know, there’s a whole bunch of stuff, like one-to-one onboarding that my assistant has all mapped out. But that doesn’t mean I don’t still get questions from my assistant and my team, and where we’re receiving regular questions, that is an invitation to look at what is the SOP that is missing. Okay? So it’s one of the most simple ways. If someone says to me, where do I start? I’m like, Well, if you have an assistant and they’re regularly asking you questions, or they’re asking you the same question, to do the same thing, that indicates there is a process lacking, okay? And whether you empower autonomy and encourage your team to go about, you know, designing that procedure or process, or whether it’s something that you do together on a team meeting, it doesn’t really matter. There will be some people in your team who will probably be very qualified to design it by themselves, and maybe others who require input get those things done, like, for example, with my assistant, I prefer to write emails that are going out so she may say to me or I’m regularly having to respond to this kind of email, and I’ll be like, right, okay, I’m going to create a template for you that we can adjust according to what’s being asked here, but let’s make sure that you just have a consistent way to respond, so that you’re not regularly having to ask me how to respond to that kind of inquiry.
Okay? And that’s all part of planning quarterly, not week to week, you know. And I say this because I have worked with six figure businesses that are lickety, lick super processed, super clean, super organized in the back end. But I’ve also worked with six figure businesses where it’s like, you know, we’re like, they need a fire hose to manage what’s going on like it is mental on the back end, and it’s still highly reactive, and there’s still a bunch of team members losing their heads and causing additional stress for the CEO. Oh my goodness, what were my voice there? I think it’s a bit of a trauma still living inside me, coming out there. But you know, still, you know, and it is absolute chaos. So I don’t want you to imagine, dear listener, if you’re not a six-figure business owner yet that by getting there, everything is going to be lickety lick because, believe me, I’ve worked with enough even all the way up to seven figure business owners, where it is an absolute shit show on the back end. So if you are one of those business owners where you are going to, rather reluctantly, would raise your hand to recognizing that in your business, where you know your team members are being reactive, disorganized, and you’re constantly let down by them, usually, if you have a team members or a team that you regularly let Bart down by, that’s rarely about the team members, and it’s about your lack of processes around hiring, around setting clear expectations, setting clear goals, and encouraging them to work autonomously if you have not got those things in place. And as I say this, I feel like I should dedicate a whole episode at some point to hiring and how to manage a team effectively. But in the meantime, the most important principle to share here is like, if you are planning quarter to quarter, processes and systems will naturally be baked in. People working autonomously, will be more of a feature, because they will not be reacting week to week, moment to moment.
So you know, rather than thinking week to week similarly, if you’re thinking quarter to quarter, then you being away for two weeks is just a detail and not a deviation. Okay, so a really, really simple and obvious thing, but my goodness, the amount of times they see business owners freaking out over this is, please get approvals and signs sign offs well before you go, do not leave it to the week before, because we know what it’s like working with agencies or working with contractors who’ve got various other businesses that they’re working for. It just takes one staff member being ill or one child being poorly, and then suddenly you are not able to sign off on the thing before you go away. Things like ad creative. You want to have a whole bunch of it already signed off, so that where an ad creative isn’t working the way you want it to, that agency doesn’t need to reach out to you for sign off. You’ve already agreed. Phase two, phase three of testing can look like this. And yes, I’m happy with it, okay? You don’t want them to have to be getting sign off on all of the pieces, okay? And, you know, obviously one of the really important pieces about that is really knowing your data, which I’ll go into in a moment. Okay, but get those sign offs done, like, get get those done first, and then, you know, creates a summer troubleshooting protocol. This is a really, really simple. Thing that you can do, and that is just making sure that you have one document, document in one location if x happens. And what I’m talking about here is, like, refund, tech issues, passive income purchases, all of it for every scenario that’s happening. I mean, basically that is our SOP SOPs.
But it’s useful to have one document, particularly for more like when the shit hits the fan, if a client’s complaining, if something’s not being delivered, if agency or kind of contractor has not delivered the thing, which is then holding up a bigger project. What needs to happen? Like, the more you can get ahead of these things like this will serve you well beyond your summer holidays. It will mean that you can be more in your own zone of genius and getting on with things in your own time, your team members will be happy because they’re able to operate autonomously. So, you know, essentially, you want to empower them to understand how to deal with adverse situations, which the bigger your business grows, the more inevitable they are. It’s not something we try and hide away from. We know things like refunds or, you know, payment plans that have bounced are part and parcel of running an online business. How do we manage that? How do we make sure that rather than you getting a panicked message saying, this payment hasn’t dropped in that they instead can confidently know what emails to send, what follow ups to send, and what processes to follow, where it carries on right so that they can be confident, and you don’t even have to hear about it.
You don’t have to be feeling stressed while you’re away about some payment that’s not dropping in because your team member has it in hand. Okay, one of the best ways that your team can really understand if things are going the way they need to, and whether they need to notify you or not, is regularly checking in with your data, if they know how many sales usually come in week to week, if they know how well your social media is performing week to week, if they know how many inquiries you’re normally getting week to week, and if particularly they can compare that to previous August is, let’s say we’re talking about the month of August. That will empower them to feel like, Yep, we’re on track. This is exactly what Polly was hoping for, or you were hoping for, or be thinking, Oh, my goodness, things have really dipped. I don’t know what’s going on here. Like, for example, if the Facebook ads have suddenly gone off a cliff, they can then under no they can then ascertain, okay, well, where our cost per lead was three pound 50, and it’s jumped up to 12, and our inquiries have gone down by a third. Yes, that is urgent. Can I know is this in my troubleshooting document where I can reach out to the agency myself and highlight this highlight to them on do they know what to do next?
Or do I need to speak to our CEO and bring them in the loop with this? I mean, the majority of occasions that kind of thing can be dealt with by itself, and there’s absolutely no reason to involve the CEO, because that would be on the ad agency. But does that ad agency require pressure while the CEOs away so that they’re not just taking time to lean back while the CEO is not on it? Maybe, maybe. So anyway, this is turning into the longest episode ever, but I’m hoping, I’m hoping you’re finding this helpful. So finally, we’ve talked about communications. We’ve talked about systems. I mean, all of these subjects are ones that I could go in so in depth on I just wanted to kind of add a bird’s eye view here, otherwise this would turn into, like, an hour-long episode, and I already talked really fast, so Lord knows. I don’t know how you guys playing me at double speed are coping right now, but let’s get into part three, which is funnels. Let’s talk revenue. You can’t truly summer proof your business if all your income relies on you being live and present. So this is where group programs and evergreen funnels, everyday sales systems come in. These are your 24/7 salespeople. These are what give people a taste of what it’s like to work with you and guide them to buy your signature offer without needing a sales call. But similarly, even if you don’t have these things in place, you know, like, if you’ve got a podcast, make sure that’s operating like an effective funnel towards your signature offer or towards your entry level offer, right? If you’ve got an engaged audience, make it easy for them to buy. Don’t force them with, you know, a zoom call gate. Like, you know, if you are needing people to have a sales call with you for them to buy from you. You’re going to be losing sales when you’re away. That’s just entirely pointless. It’s time to design your business so that people can jump in without needing a conversation, you know, and if you have got a breathing program, there’s absolutely no reason why you can’t be pre selling it, or building up a wait list while you are away, or just selling it full stop, if it’s a program or offer that can operate without you. So plenty of your audience are already sold.
They just need the right link and the right invitation. This is where stories can come in too. Like a lot of us can assume, Oh well, I’m away this summer. That means everyone’s away and they’re not going to be buying right now. And that is just not true. People are still buying all the way through the summer. I want you to be able to take time off. But that doesn’t mean everyone else is just not thinking about their business, particularly those advanced business owners. They know that when they plan ahead right now, that they can be having a really solid final quarter. So people are still investing in their health, investing in their well, being, investing in their business. Just. Just because it’s August doesn’t mean it drops off. Okay? So make sure you are still, you know, by having a funnel, you can be sure that you’re still making invitations in a consistent way. And then it’s for you to check the data throughout the year to see, is there a dip in August, or does it stay pretty consistent? Is there, in fact, an even bigger opportunity to enroll even more people, like in the fitness space, I see a lot of people in August thinking, oh my goodness, I’m not feeling good in the swimsuit. I’m joining a gym now. So there’s various things that actually the summer can incentivize people to jump into rather than run away from. Okay, so if your only conversion pathways hop on a call, you’re bleeding potential revenue. And if you want help building that kind of funnel, that’s what we build inside the accelerator, which, by the way, if you’re listening, in May, it’s the final month to save 2000 pounds on joining us. So if ever there’s been a time to take a look at the accelerator sales page, it’s now, I will make sure it is in the show notes so you can check it out. It is the best business. I mean, it’s a borderline mastermind at this stage with all the established the established business owners that are in there at a fraction of the price of a mastermind, it is such a stellar place to be with the very best resources.
AI prompts a plenty, and people are getting wins in there. Last month, someone was celebrating their first 20k month, another person celebrated Forex in their revenue from 2k to 8k so there are winds. Are plenty going on inside there. I would love for you to be part of that. But anyway, this is a bit part four, the bit that I bet you haven’t heard elsewhere. This is what I want you to also be thinking about, which is reentry planning. I don’t want you to be in that place of like, oh my goodness, coming back to work feels like a freaking avalanche, all the emails, all the things they need to respond to. It feels really heavy. Again, with systems and processes, you could actually have your VA marking those unnecessary emails as read or deleting them if necessary, and responding to things so that you’re not coming back to a crazy inbox and simply just flagging the few emails that need your eyes only. Okay, like there are certain things you can do to prevent that. But beyond that, the other thing I’d say, on a very practical level, is block the first two days after your return with no calls, no client sessions, just CEO time to breathe and prioritize. Take a moment to reconnect with your team. Take a moment to catch up on any communications. Perhaps take a moment to kind of check in with anyone who’s got one to one access with you, to say, Hey, I’m back. I’ll be properly responding to you, and, you know, in a couple of days, but in the meantime, well, but you know, just give yourself a bit of breathing space.
You know, it’s no surprise when people dive back in. They can dive back into their old patterns. And I don’t know about you, but I find every time I go away, I come back with better intentions. I’m like, You know what I am going to schedule in time at the gym now, because I want to make it a non-negotiable. You know what I am going to make sure I’m hydrated and that I get up and go for a walk and lunch time to make sure that I’m not just sat on a chair all day? You know what I am going to know? Like, I’ll come back with those intentions, but if I throw myself back into the grind of my business, I will just fall back into old patterns. That means that this following holiday, I’m having the same thoughts and kicking myself for like, how did that not happen? Over the last year? It didn’t happen because I didn’t create space for it to happen, and I didn’t make it inevitable that I would succeed, because I didn’t put the practices in place to support the outcome that I was desiring. Okay, so, you know, we’re all always trying to be our very best. We all tend to drop off somewhere along the line. So allow yourself that time to be like, you know, what does a cushy co How does a cushy co move and operate and be supported? And how do I make sure that’s in place for me? The other thing you can do to get some bearings is check your metrics. What performed well while you were away, what didn’t? Again, that’s a great opportunity to revise, okay, so what is lacking in my systems, what is lacking in my funnels that I can be tweaking and refining to ensure that that final quarter is really strong, obviously, reconnecting with your audience as a whole on social media, letting them know that you’re back, letting them know about your podcast episodes that have been dropping.
I mean, I’m assuming that we’re already doing basic bitch things like batching right, and that your content has been going out in the meantime, or that you’ve got somebody managing that for you, but that personal touch point again, of being like, it’s me, I’m here, I’m back. You know, just, just feels good again. It’s bringing the social-to-social media. And, you know, the other thing is, start slow, build intentionally. Okay, like, this is not a race. And when you go into your business with intentionality, you will not just be doing, I don’t know, 100 days of lives to get visible, to make people like you like that’s not a strategy. That’s just a way to make you feel like you’re doing something productive. Like, yes, there are advantages to it, but in 100 days, you could also be building a funnel that’s gonna get you sales on autopilot. I know what I choose. Okay. So there you have it, communications, systems, funnels, the three pillars that allow you to step back without everything falling apart. Please do not just listen. I want you to implement to help you do that, I’ve created a CEO. CEO can never say that word summer proofing checklist that covers everything we talked about today. I say we raw, we plus a few extras you probably hadn’t thought of. Okay, so if you want the checklist, DME the word checklist on Instagram and I’ll send it over your way again. This is not, you know, I’m not you know, I’m not going to tell you off if you’re not already earning six figures. I am very happy if you’re already thinking like a six-figure business owner, because this is stuff that you know. Once you’re beyond making those baseline sales, this is the next step. Okay, so I told you this was a series. Last one was what you know, how to summer proof your business when you’re earning under 5k this week was how to summer proof your business when you’re earning six figures and above, and next week’s episode part three, the final part is summer proofing your business based entirely on your questions. Okay, so I’m hoping you’ve listened to this and it’s helped you think about like, well, what does this look like? Or how do I do this? Or what’s the opportunity here?
