How to Go Into Summer Ahead of Your Competition (& an Important Announcement!) {5.20.26}

Every June, something predictable happens to women in business. The momentum they spent all spring building quietly starts to slip -- not in one big moment, but in a hundred small, completely justified ones."I'll pick this back up after vacation." "This week is weird. I'll reset next Monday." "I just need to enjoy the summer."Each decision sounds reasonable and that's exactly the problem.In this episode, Jen breaks down why summer business drift happens to even the most driven entrepreneurs, what it actually costs at the level you're working toward, and why making a plan before June starts is the one move that separates the women who come out of summer ahead from the ones who spend September trying to catch up.She also shares details about the Summer Strategy Workshop -- a 90-minute live session on June 10th where you'll build your actual summer plan.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy summer drift happens in small, justified decisions -- and why that makes it so hard to catchThe real cost of going quiet during summer at the level you're scaling towardWhy your competition will most likely be checking out this summer -- and what that means for youThe Comfort Cave and how the primal brain disguises a standards problem as flexibility you deserveWhat the Summer Strategy Workshop actually does (the 80/20 framework, time-blocking, Parkinson's Law, and the Self-Trust Bank)How the choices you make between now and September 1st determine how that day feelsResources MentionedSummer Strategy Workshop -- June 10, 2026 A 90-minute live session where you'll identify your 20% needle-movers, build a time-blocked summer calendar, and go into June with a real plan -- not a vague intention.Register here: jenlaffin.com/ssw Connect with JenWebsite: jenlaffin.comSubstack: https://substack.com/@jenlaffinLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jenlaffinThe Momentum Room: jenlaffin.com/tmrAction Accelerator (private 60-min session): jenlaffin.com/action-acceleratorAbout the PodcastThe Goal Getter Guide with Jen Laffin is a podcast for women entrepreneurs who are done with avoidance and ready to move.
