In this episode, I open up about my personal journey as a business owner preparing for maternity leave at 36 weeks pregnant. I cover the strategies and challenges of managing my graphic design business while getting ready to take time off to welcome my new baby.
From establishing systems that allow the business to operate without my direct involvement to the intricacies of maintaining ongoing marketing and support for my courses, I provide a real look into the preparations I'm making (which has been SO different from when I prepared for baby #1 3 years ago).
I delve into the decision-making process of opting for at least 2 months of leave and the diligent planning required to set up the business for seamless operations during my absence. This includes the training of my team, setting up autoresponders for email communication, posting to social media, and creating robust systems to facilitate smooth functioning. Join me as I navigate through this significant chapter of my life and business, sharing insights that can resonate with fellow business owners planning for extended time off.
