Ep 710. Avoiding the Mid-Summer Slump: How to Book Your July and August Schedule Now

Proactively book your July and August schedules now to avoid a mid-summer slump, as sales often slow down significantly after spring's initial rush.

Prioritize 'hard hard work' (e.g., proposals, billing, team leadership, systems) over 'easy hard work' (physical labor) to ensure long-term business growth and stability.

Implement robust scheduling tools like LMN to prevent overcommitment and constantly revise your schedule to maintain efficiency and client satisfaction.

Utilize professional financial management services like Cycle CPA to gain a clear understanding of your numbers and build accurate cash flow projections.

Build a strong 'tech stack' (Company Cam, LMN, Cycle CPA, Lean Scaper) to streamline operations, improve communication, and track profitability.

Recognize that problems scale with your business; proactive management and system implementation can make these issues more manageable regardless of company size.

Understand the true cost of errors or lost profit: a $6,000 mistake with a 10% profit margin requires $60,000 in additional work to recover that profit.
