On this week's episode of Not Your Average Online Marketing Podcast, I'm sharing the details of how I'm stepping away from the business for TWO WHOLE WEEKS to get married - without sacrificing what I've built - team, time, and revenue. 

I'll share what I've put in place to maintain business operations and growth during my destination wedding and honeymoon.  When you listen in you're going to hear:

• How I'm leveraging  Facebook ads and automation while I'm out of office to continue sales and revenue generating activities
• The importance of communication and expectations if you are going to step away from the business - for both your team and your audience
• The role that recurring revenue is playing in creating stability to aid in stepping back

We all need a little support (from our team, audience, and students) to step back - and this episode breaks down how we're approaching getting that support.
