5 Things Entrepreneurs Should Do This Summer

For many entrepreneurs and freelancers the summer is just another three months. It's business as usual and it's even more challenging to try and get new clients and keep things afloat when the rest of the world has unplugged.

Here are five things entrepreneurs should do while things are slow over the summer:

1. Review your annual goals to see how far you've come and how far you have to go before the year ends. This is the perfect time to make adjustments and tweak your processes as we enter the next half of the year.
2. Revamp your website and marketing materials. Freshen up things and give people a reason to visit your site. 
3. Reconnect with fellow freelancers and past clients. Do some networking to see if you can get repeat business or collaborate for new opportunities.
4. Reclaim your passion and share it with others for FREE. Yes, that's right, for free. Sometimes you have to give away business to get business. Share your expertise in your community with someone who might not normally be able to afford your rates; their word of mouth will go a long way in bringing potential PAYING clients your way.
5. Relax. Even the mighty entrepreneur needs to take a break every now and then.  Take some real time off and unplug from your computer and your phone. Set an out of office message on your email and focus on rejuvenating your mind, body and spirit!
