If you are in the south with children, you probably this week have realized that summer is pretty much over, like the kids go back to school this week and next week. And that blows my mind to sit back and think about everything we've done. You know, over the past 60 days, the experiences we've had, the moments we've had, and just that time of bonding with my kids. And one of the things that also occur that I want to share with you is, my children were supposed to go with my mom and dad to St. Simons Island. Now St. Simons is about, I don't know, five and a half, six hours from where we live outside of Atlanta. And it's, it's a beach, you know, area, a lot of people go there, instead of going to Florida for their vacations. And my parents absolutely adore it like they love the moss covered trees that hang down. If you have ever read the books about Savannah or been to Savannah, like it's got that feel to it. Only Beachy. And you can ride bikes and golf carts everywhere. So they absolutely adore it. About two days before my kids were set to go. And mind you, I was really excited by this, not only were my kids getting to spend the time with my parents, and they wanted to, and even the 15 year old wanted to go spend time with his grandparents at the beach, Jeff and I actually were really looking forward to four or five days of no kids in the house, you know, like where we could work all day long. We could float in the pool at night, have a cocktail, we weren't trying to also go on vacation, we would just have the house to ourselves a little bit. And it's getting to be very obvious to us as the kids get older, like how close we are to that empty nest syndrome. And we're not really sure we'd like it or not. But we're going to ease into it. However, two days before the kids were supposed to go, I had a conversation with my dad that made me really recognize that he's in his 70s. And he had a stroke a while ago, some of you are aware of that. And it was really scary time for all of us, we did not think he was going to pull through because of how the blood clot is landed in his brain. Thankfully, he's still with us. But I really started to have some concerns over sending my kids to the beach with them for a couple of days with dad, maybe being super aware of what's going on. But maybe the times not. And I thought you know, that's a six hour drive with my kids in the backseat. And what if they get down there and something occurs and they don't know what to do. And so Jeff and I made the very last minute decision. And when I mean last minute, I mean like the day they were supposed to leave, we finally did make the decision that I was going to go with them. And here is the cool thing about what I have built here at the B word podcast and Joanne bolt, I was able to on the day my kids were supposed to go pivot, I was able to grab a condo of my own. Because I wanted to give them their space. I just wanted to be there in case something happened that was a babysitting them. But you know, come on, I had some concerns. And I was able to just pack all of my podcasting equipment up into neat little travel bags that I've gotten and throw it in the car, throw my kids in the car, so I could drive them down there to meet my parents. And I was able to go and while at them in the moment, you know, in the heat of the moment, I was kind of frustrated. I mean, I was given up the week with my husband, I was having to go and do something I didn't want to do it was going to inconvenience and an air quote and over here inconvenience me a little bit. The reality is I've built a business to where I have that freedom and flexibility to also spend the time with what's really most important right now, which is my family. Because if I think about the reason for having to go down or getting to go down to St. Timon, it's because my parents are a, you know, aging, they're getting to that point where as an adult, you're starting to need to take care of your parents, which is a whole different mindset to enter into it. It's an entirely different experience in and of itself. So if you're not there yet buckle up buttercups, because not only are you watching your own kids, now you're watching your parents too. Here's the thing, as I really reflect back on that I thought gosh, I was able to do that. Like I had that time with my parents. I had the freedom and flexibility to jump in the car and go down there that gave me extra time with my kids and hunters gonna be a sophomore so there's only so many summers I have left with him before he you know becomes a real big kid goes off to college and doesn't want to hang out with mom anymore. And the beauty of it is it Because the building business I've built, so I sat down and thought, Gosh, how can I serve my audience with this information more than just giving you a story of why you should build this kind of business? And the example of me getting to go to St. Simons, it's how can I help you get there. Because ultimately, it doesn't matter if you want to build a $30,000 a year business to just put your kids through private school. Or if you're building a business to provide college education for your family, if you want six figures, and that means 100,000, or you want six mid figures at 500,000, or you want to hit that seven figure mark, every single one of you has your different goals and what you're, you know, shooting for for your own financial freedom and your own families. So I decided to do something a little bit outside the norm for me, instead of giving you just a PDF freebie or a couple of 15 second podcast here and there on the B word where you may catch them. And you know, it would scroll out through a couple of weeks, I decided to get really focused on creating a series of episodes that is specifically for those of you that want to know the framework for building out a seven and six figure podcasting business. It is legitimately the framework that I followed, once I figured it out. And it is a framework that if you sit down and really put the time and effort into it, you can do too. So I've created a special limited series podcast, you can register for it at www.Joannebolt.com/limited

It is its own podcast. It's a standalone, I'm going to release it August 16. And there are four days and four episodes one per day, where I'm going to walk you through exactly what you need to do. I'll start with mindset, because we got to get that right, folks. Then on day two, we'll go into the clarity with your content, you may think you're clear, I'm going to help you get even clearer. Day three, we're going to talk about the secret sauce to scaling that business that you're building and Dave, for planning for your profit. And I promise you if you listen to day one all the way through day four, and then you grab the workbook that we're going to put out that goes with it. You will have a framework built just for you. To help you build a business no matter what size works for you. And I am super excited by this is something I've never done before. And so I'm interested to see how it will work out for you what you think of it, putting it as a separate Limited Edition series means you gotta grab it now. And then I'm going to pull it down. It's not going to live on Apple connect forever. It's not going to be available on Spotify forever think Spotify is going away anyway. It's only available August 16 through the 31st. So you need to go now and register www.Joannebolt.com/limited and I will give you access to the link so that you can find the podcast so that you can listen to the podcast so that you can have the workbook that goes along with the podcast. And hopefully you'll be able to dive in and start creating that dream business step by awesome step that will allow you the freedom and flexibility just in case your family needs it like minded. Have a great day guys.
