[Summer Series] The Seven Things I'm Doing Whilst "Taking a Break" - Episode 325

Hey there, it's Jenn!

After six incredible years of weekly podcasting, I'm mixing things up with a Summer Series to give myself a little breather. This episode revisits the seven things I tackled during last year's "break" (yes, that's in quotes because, as business owners, is it ever a real break?).

From refreshing my speaker and media kits, updating my website, and auditing my digital chaos to mapping out goals and podcast ideas for 2024, I'm sharing the practical steps I take to set myself and my business up for success in the year ahead.

What about you? Are you shutting down completely, or like me, balancing a bit of work with some well-deserved rest? Whatever your plans, I want 2024 to be your best year yet.

And to help kick things off, I've got a FREE webinar on January 18th, all about marketing in 2024 – the trends, changes, and essentials small business owners need to know. Join me live or catch the recording. Register here: https://bit.ly/marketing2024Jenn.

Enjoy this Summer Series episode, and don't forget to join the Like Minded Business Owners Facebook group to share your plans for the year ahead. Let's make 2024 amazing together!

Big love,
Jenn 😊

Running a small business often feels like a constant juggling act, where the big dreams meet daily grind. The Small Business Made Simple Podcast cuts through that noise with practical, actionable conversations. Host Jenn Donovan brings her background as a speaker, author, and marketer directly to your earbuds, but she’s not just theorizing. Having been deep in the trenches herself, she understands the unique mix of ambition and overwhelm that defines the entrepreneurial journey. This podcast focuses on real-world application, offering bite-sized social media and marketing strategies you can implement immediately, without needing a massive budget or a dedicated team. You’ll also hear from fellow small business owners who share their own stories-the successes, the stumbles, and the lessons learned along the way. It’s a blend of expert guidance from Jenn and peer-to-peer solidarity, all designed to provide both clarity and accountability. Think of each episode as a focused coaching session that helps break down larger goals into manageable steps, reinforcing the confidence that you can, indeed, build the business you envision. Tune in for honest talk that simplifies the complex, making growth feel less like a solitary struggle and more like a shared, achievable path forward.
