Thank you to everyone who joined our August Monthly Momentum Call! This month we explored why August feels so weird. It's one of the rare months where we experience a middle-of-the-month psychological shift. You're trying to do two contradictory things at once: enjoy the rest of summer while also not ending up flat-footed when September arrives.
Rather than getting caught in August's strange psychological split, we used this transitional moment strategically. An impromptu mini-workshop helped everyone zoom out to the end of the year and identify what would make the remaining months truly count, with four key questions to clarify priorities and create focus when everything feels scattered. The full workshop questions are available for paid subscribers below.
Some of the key themes we explored this month:
-
Avoiding Manufactured Urgency: Recognizing when you're creating artificial pressure and crunch around things that could just as well get done after the break
-
Workshop Success Stories: Celebrating breakthrough moments when trusting your instincts and simplifying your approach leads to better outcomes than overcomplicating
-
Platform and Technology Decisions: Weighing the pros and cons of consolidating business tools versus maintaining separate systems, especially when considering long-term sustainability
-
Staying Motivated Through Slow Progress: Reframing expectations when working on complex, relational changes that don't move as quickly as we'd like
-
Transitioning vs. Executing: Understanding the different criteria for success when you're in a learning or transition phase versus when you're in execution mode
-
Permission to Prioritize Your Needs: Addressing the challenge of treating your own goals and creative needs as equally important as other people's priorities
