Roadpreneur: Business Building for the RV Lifestyle

RVers are on the road a lot. When that travel lifestyle combines with an entrepreneurial lifestyle, it can be difficult to show up in a more human way for the people you serve. But, the temptation to digitize and step back might not keep working for you in 2023. This is the year that Qualtrics has deemed to be all about human connection (and I happen to wholeheartedly agree). Listen in to learn about how you can infuse more human connection into your business, why it’s so crucial, and what it has looked like for me with Roadpreneur and Cruisin’ + Campfires over the past few months.

The holiday season is here and as you move into the busy crunch time, hitting the road to be with family, you might be wondering how you can keep your head above water with your business AND with your personal life.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to plan your schedule so you can find that elusive balance (and maybe even sneak in a guilty pleasure TV show here and there).

This planning system is the one I use to get more done in less time. It’s how I am able to consistently crank out content, show up big for clients and get them huge wins, keep my business visible in the market, and also bake more batches of cookies than should be reasonable.

Bonus: Waiting there for you right when you join are the Black Friday/Cyber Monday emails to speed your time to crafting those emails and scheduling them so you can kick up your feet and watch some football, rest, or indulge in an extra rum ball or two.

From pre-Thanksgiving sales to post-Christmas sales and everything in between, we’re in for a busy last few months of 2022. For entrepreneurs, that means being in a crazy messy spot. Part of us wants to unplug like the rest of the world. Relax. Watch football. Fall into a turkey coma for a night without stressing about Black Friday the next day.

And guess what? That’s totally possible EVEN as a business owner.

In this episode, you’ll hear my approach to using a marketing calendar to plan a less stressful business, so that I can have even more time with my family and outdoors this holiday season.

This episode is sponsored by the Roadpreneur Community. You’re invited inside to simplify your marketing this holiday season even further while also collaborating with others who will help you get over those inevitable humps in your business. Sign up here: https://roadpreneur.com/Community/

Communities seem to be popping up everywhere. Some are free. Some are paid. If you’ve had it on your heart to bring your customers together in some way, then chances are you’ve thought about starting a community of your own. But, because you’re living the RV lifestyle, you don’t want to start a community that’s going to become a time suck with little return.

In this episode, Kimberly Crossland breaks down how to decide whether to start a free or a paid community. You’ll learn how to identify where you best show up on the customer journey and where you can be the biggest help to your audience. You’ll also learn how to keep more of your community members in your membership for longer, so that you can build your revenues while also making an impact and not burning yourself out.
