Is your business summer-ready?

Forget the beach body, did you get your business summer-ready? Never mind being beach body ready (because let’s face it, mine never will be), I’ve been focusing on toning my business abs into a six pack for Summer. Have you? Traditionally, summer can be a quiet time for businesses. But if you think like I do, then you certainly won’t see that as an opportunity for taking afternoons off with a ‘99 and a flake!
