Episode Synopsis
What if I told you that you could make $131,522 in two months while mostly offline? That's exactly what happened during my summer "ghost mode," and I'm spilling all the details on how I pulled it off.This summer was supposed to be my full unplug season. We're talking lake swims, cottage mornings, road trips through Ontario and New York State, and honestly having no clue what day it was half the time. I posted two Instagram photo dumps total, did zero launches, and stayed off the content hamster wheel completely.But here's the plot twist: my business didn't just survive without me—it thrived. We brought in over $131K in July and August alone, did 490 sales with a mix of new and returning customers, and everything ran like clockwork. So if you've ever wondered what it actually looks like to take real time off AND keep the money flowing, this episode breaks down exactly how I did it.I'm getting into the nitty-gritty of the systems that made this possible, why paid ads aren't optional if you want consistent revenue (yeah, I said it), and the few CEO-level projects I did tackle during my "off" time.
