"Most entrepreneurs are trying to be artists instead of operators."
-Gary Vee on why most people won't succeed
In this week's episode, we chat about busy times and how to leverage them for continued growth.

Don't hide behind the fact that you'll be busy during the holidays (or any time).
Instead, continue taking action to grow your business.
The holidays will come to an end, and you'll be right where you were when they began.

This isn't the time to take your foot off the gas if you're trying to build or make progress.

You can 100% enjoy your holidays; no one is taking away from that. In fact, you should take time around them to enjoy yourself with friends and family, and you should guard that fiercely by having boundaries with clients and work, but that's another topic for another day.

The trick is to stay focused on the details. Don't skip the little stuff because you're busy, or you won't STAY busy.

"Plans are useless, but planning is essential."
-Dwight D Eisenhower

Another thing we should consider is planning ahead for the upcoming year. If you experience an influx of clients and you find yourself a lot busier around the holidays, take the time to identify slower times of your year and plan accordingly.
Save some money, maybe.

We need to get out of this just deal with stuff as it happens mindset. Too many people will accept being slow and hope they make it to the busier times.
When a tiny amount of time planning could be what gets you ahead and allows you to build something that's actually stable.

Skipping the fundamentals because you're busy is never a good game plan.

We've seen people do it at our salon. A hair pro starts to build a bit, and suddenly the details start to take a back seat.
