Dear 

Happy August!

For those of in the northern hemisphere, the beginning of August signals our last precious month of summer.

Summer is a good time to take a break from your regular routine and do things that you usually don't have the time to do. This applies to your work as well as your personal life.

It's not just about getting away for a vacation with family and friends but also it's about getting out of your comfort zone at work. It's a time to take on projects that stretch you before the back-to-school rush and holiday frenzy.

Consider that you've got 4 weeks between now and Labor Day. What special project are you going to take on?

Personally, I'm creating my Content Curation Workshop and related content for Content Marketing World in Cleveland. I'd be thrilled if you joined me!!!

Additionally, I'm in the process of rolling out Heidi By The Hour, where you can purchase an hour of my time via phone or Skype to help you with your marketing challenges. If you're interested in being one of the first people, please email me at [email protected] .

Happy marketing,
Heidi
