Summer Recap Living In Portugal
Manage episode 439063500 series 3550086
As entrepreneurs, we NEED time to slow down our businesses, reconnect with our loved ones, and recharge our batteries. Staycations don’t always get the job done, as it’s hard to fully relax when everyone around you is still ‘GO-GO-GO.’ Maybe you dream about putting your biz on quiet mode and jetting off to a coast or cabin for the summer — but wonder what that actually looks like in practice (especially if you have kids). Thanks to my annual tradition of spending the summer in Portugal, I can give you a little sneak peek!
This episode of Marketing Sucks marks the return of my first-ever guest: my husband, Phil Ginther. During this conversation, we look back on our summer living and working in Portugal — our fave moments, our big takeaways, and why we’ll think twice before booking into another haunted hotel!
Marketing sucks. Let’s learn together. Hit play to discover:
- How we balance work, rest, travel, and kids while living in a different country
- Why you need to embrace flexibility and manage your expectations while abroad
- Why my work experience was different this summer (and the biggest lesson I learned)
