Hey Reader, I told a friend this week that I feel like I have summer whiplash. You know the feeling? It’s calm... but somehow still busy.
One minute I’m melting in 105° heat 🥵, sneaking in a nap between pool time and cheer camp drop-offs… Next, we are celebrating 19 years of marriage (🥂). How time flies...
...and shifting in and out of deep in strategy mode for our big Crush the Rush™ “Holly Days” project. It’s that weird limbo where your brain wants to slow down, but your business still has ideas that won’t leave you alone. 😳 Which got me thinking…
The Anti-Social™ Shift: Create Your Momentum
Summer isn’t always the season of big launches or flashy growth—but it can be the season of quiet power moves. And you don’t need a huge plan to feel like you’re moving forward.
Ask yourself:
What’s one thing you keep pushing to the bottom of your to-do list that could actually move the needle?
If you had to land one new client without social media, what would you try?
When’s the last time you shared your freebie or “signature method”? (👀 Seriously.)
Sometimes momentum also looks like:
Cleaning your office.
Scheduling a coffee date with a friend.
Getting a haircut. (Or a photoshoot. Me! 📸)
Because the act of doing something intentional—no matter how small—reminds you that you’re still in the driver’s seat.
Strategy Snapshot: The "One Bold Move" List
If you want to build momentum without burning out, try this:
Each week, write down:
One action that brings in revenue
One visibility play (off social!)
One thing just for you (rest counts)
Keep it short. Keep it simple. Then… do the boldest one first.
That’s momentum. On your terms.
If you’re feeling the itch to refocus, recharge, and realign your business this summer… you’re not alone. We’ve got something fun coming soon (hint: it’s Holly Days level good).
Let’s make this your most aligned, momentum-filled summer yet.
Stay cool out there—literally. I’ll be over here alternating between iced chai and SPF 50.
XO, Holly … keep reading to see what else is happening this week at Crush The Rush Headquarters!
