Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Seasonal Planning for Entrepreneurs

• Why book out before July?
  • Jenna shares the concept of taking it easier in July and August, inspired by her own "Canadian summer mindset" where enjoying good weather takes priority ([01:00]).
  • “What if we reverse engineer our lives and we plan to sell a ton in the fall and chill in the summer—which would mean, right now… we book out our service now, ride that revenue into the summer, and then repeat?” — Jenna ([04:45])
• The importance of capitalizing on the energetic vibe of spring to set up a productive, revenue-rich fall season.

2. Defining "Booked Out" and Setting Capacity

• Before selling more, know your limits: Jenna emphasizes the need for a real, honest calculation of your business’s capacity ([07:20]).
  • “The very first step we need to do is figure out what your actual capacity in your business is. This is boring. It involves a little bit of math.” — Jenna ([07:35])

• Fix It: Address the barriers that keep clients from booking.
  • Perfection isn’t required—being effective and scrappy is enough ([12:08]).

  • “We go hard for June with the goal of hitting capacity. And then once you hit capacity, you enjoy your summer, you serve your people.” — Jenna ([16:06])
