EP 55 - Hump Month
In this episode we chat about the point in your summer where you have the opportunity to step away from your business a little more, and delegate more things to your teams. We discuss the process of what this looks like, and how it can vary from team to team and franchise to franchise. We also discuss how this point in the summer can also be a continued grind to fill the remaining spots in your summer schedule, and to remember that at the end of the summer you will not regret working a little bit harder when you have an extra 5K in your bank account! We hope you enjoy this episode of The Edge Podcast!
