🌞The Summer Hustle Hack: How To Be Present With Your Kids And Still Make Sales On Autopilot

It just hit me.

My oldest is 9.

Nine years have gone by in the blink of an eye… and I know the next blink will bring 18 candles on his birthday cake and a packed bag heading out the door. I feel like I need more time. I want more time.

The last thing I want is to miss these precious years because I was glued to my phone, hustling for sales at the beach or replying to DMs during zoo trips.

Sound familiar?

You’re building a business that’s supposed to give you freedom… but sometimes it feels like it’s stealing the very moments you’re working so hard to protect.

So here’s the deal: you can be present this summer. You can still hit your sales goals without living in your inbox or sacrificing sweet memories with your babies.

Here are a few practical tips to help you save time, automate more, and reclaim your summer—without losing your momentum (or your mind):

🌞Tip No. 1 - Get Yourself A Stan Store

If you want a platform that does everything—email marketing, digital product delivery, auto DM replies, upsells, link-in-bio, even community hosting—Stan Store is it.

I’ve used the others (ClickFunnels, Systeme.io… trust me, I’ve tried them all). Stan is WAY more affordable, easier to use, and honestly? It’s made for creators like us.

Here’s what you can do with Stan:

• Collect emails with a lead magnet

• Automate email sequences for your freebie or product

• Add order bumps to increase your cart value

• Build a paid community for recurring monthly income

• Use the Auto DM feature to respond to Instagram comments automatically

• Upload your customer list to Facebook Ads and create lookalike audiences (hello, warm leads!)

  
  

All this in one simple dashboard—and yes, it’s mobile-friendly, so you can check things quickly without diving into work mode.

🌞 Tip No. 02 - Hire A VA (Even Just Part-Time)

I used to think hiring help was a luxury. But honestly? It’s a lifesaver.

There are talented virtual assistants all over the world, and the exchange rate makes it super affordable—I pay my VA just $3.50/hour and she’s worth every penny.

Here’s what a VA can do for you:

• Draft emails and newsletters

• Post your Reels and content

• Reply to DMs and comments

• Organize your files

• Schedule your blog posts

• Manage your calendar

• Set up techy things like landing pages or product links

You don’t have to do it all. Delegate the busywork so you can focus on living.

🌞 Tip N0. 03 - Use AI (It’s Not Cheating—It’s Smart)

No time to record Reels every day? Same.

I use OpenArt AI to create an AI twin of myself, so I can make videos without having to do my hair, set up lighting, or even be awake. 😂 It takes some time to set up, but once you do—it’s a game changer.

Need help getting started? I used ChatGPT to walk me through it.

Also, Instagram’s new Edits tool is 🔥. It’s free and uploads your videos lightning fast. Batch a few at night and you’re good to go for days.

🌞 Tip No. 04 - Set Up A Passive Income Stream (That’s Actually Hands-Off)

You need at least one income stream that brings in $500–$1,000/week—even if you’re offline.

If you don’t have one yet, I highly recommend checking out my Soft Life Guide To Peaceful Profits. It teaches you exactly how to set this up using a strategy that doesn’t require:

• DMs

• Facebook ads

• Customer service

• A social media following

  
  

It’s on sale for just $17, and you can read it in under an hour. You’ll be set up and ready to roll by the time your kids wake up from nap.

Summer only comes once a year.

But these years with our littles? They only come once in a lifetime.

Build your business in a way that lets you live your life. 🌞

Because at the end of the day—people > profits.

Always.

Enjoy your summer, friend. You’ve got this.

Cheering You On,

Porcia 🫶🏽
