Description

Welcome to the 43rd episode of Take the Leap's second season. In this episode, "Making the Most of Downtime: Systems, Strategy and Staying Ready," co-hosts Ashlan Glazier-Anderson and Victoria Proppe share insights about using downtime to build infrastructure, the importance of valuing adaptability and diverse problem-solving skills over traditional qualifications, and embracing the inevitable ups and downs of entrepreneurship, among other reflections from our conversation with Charles Howard. Listen to the episode with Charles Howard that we reference on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or watch on YouTube.

Key Takeaways from the Episode: 

• When client work slows down, use the opportunity to build internal systems, document processes, and invest in your own business infrastructure instead of treating it like a break.
• Even as a solopreneur, having repeatable systems (like SOPs and pricing checklists) can save time and prevent costly errors as your business grows.
• Entrepreneurs in a position to hire should rethink traditional job requirements and intentionally build inclusive, human-centered work environments from day one.
