As we head into the end of the year, I know many of us are gearing up for school holidays or the festive season. In Australia, it’s our big break, and if you're in the U.S. or the UK, your major school holidays or holiday season might be approaching too. But let’s face it: taking a break from business while juggling life and family can feel overwhelming, and for many mama CEOs, it means seeing momentum grind to a halt. Today, I’m diving into a better approach. We’re talking about how to take intentional, strategic breaks so that your business continues to grow—even while you’re enjoying holiday time. I’ll share how I shifted from feeling constantly behind to having a business that sustains itself during my time off. It’s all about planning, understanding lagging indicators in marketing, and making sure your revenue and visibility don’t take a nosedive. Let’s make 2025 your smoothest year yet! Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode: 00:02:00 Why going “momentum zero” during school breaks sets you back more than you think. 00:05:30 How to create sprint-rest cycles that work for part-time entrepreneurs and moms. 00:07:00 Setting up automated systems and recurring revenue streams to secure income even when you’re off. 00:09:30 Reverse engineering your revenue goals and planning your promotional calendar ahead of time. 00:12:30 How to get ahead now in Q4, so you’re not playing catch-up in February 2025.

This episode of Signature Online Course Secrets is 🔥 - I’m diving into the top 5 ways I fix businesses *just like yours* If the goal is to make a breadwinning wage from your business in 3 days per week - but what you’re doing isn’t landing right now - this is going to give you some major clues as to what you can work on in your business (or work with me on) to reach those goals. I always remember when my daughter Olivia was in and out of hospital when she was a baby and while one hospital would turn us away every. Goddam. Time - the children’s hosptial would rush us straight through triage and admit us right away. One day I asked why that was and the nurse at the children’s hospital gave me an answer I’ll never forget: the other hospital listens to maybe 2 kids chests per day. I listen to 100. And so - I can tell right away when a kid is really sick. Well - that’s like me with women creating breadwinning businesses in part-time hours - all day my business is focused on supporting women through the Peace and Profit Mastermind Tune in to discover: How your offers might be sabotaging your revenue (and how to fix them) The pre-launch secrets that make or break your sales Why some expenses need cutting, while others are worth every penny How to simplify your content strategy for maximum impact The mindset shifts that take you from overwhelmed to thriving Resources Mentioned: Apply for Peace & Profit Mastermind – Early Bird Enrollment Follow me on Instagram for updates and tips LINKS + WORK WITH ROBYN Run a 6 figure+ business in just 16 hours per week - Steal my work week schedule Get a 30 Day Free Trial of Kartra - our Course, Email and Funnel Software Swipe our Manychat Setup (and our Instagram Story to Subscribers Sequences + more) Want to launch an online course?

Ever wondered how much you really should be investing in coaching, courses, and professional development for your business? Today, I’m addressing the elephant in the room: how to strategically invest in your business without wondering whether you’re being swayed by the ‘always be investing’ messaging of the coaching industry. The truth is that I do believe sometimes you need to invest in your business, and that sometimes you need to invest far more than the standard narrative of 10% - and that there are going to be times when, if you don’t, your business may shrivel up. But…. I also believe that sometimes you don’t need to invest much, or even at all - and as someone who has more than 20 years’ experience in business - it’s about being strategic, understanding return on investment (and the cost of investing, as well as the cost of waiting or not addressing skills gaps) and planning like a CEO in your business. In this episode, I share the times when I’ve invested and the thought process I’ve used to do that, give you a glimpse into how I budget (and what that might look like for you as you enter 2025) and some big red flags on when not to invest.
