Don’t Let the Holidays Haunt Your Business

The holidays are magical—but for entrepreneurs, they can also feel a little haunting. Between Halloween festivities, family dinners, and gift shopping, your business can easily get lost in the fog of busy schedules and glittering distractions.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to choose between enjoying the holidays and growing your business.

Today, I’m sharing five “Hocus Focus” spells to help you stay visible, profitable, and energized all season long—without burning out like Maleficent’s green fire.

✨ The Disney Lesson: Lean Into the Magic

Think about Disney Parks during the holidays—Halloween parties, Christmas parades, limited-edition snacks, festive décor. Disney doesn’t slow down; they lean in.

That’s the lesson for us as entrepreneurs. Instead of treating the holidays as a distraction, use the season as rocket fuel for creativity, visibility, and connection.

🪄 Spell #1: The Visibility Charm

Disney Example: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The park is decked out, and people can’t help but share photos and videos.

Entrepreneur Application: Don’t disappear just because things get busy! Show up with content that fits the season—whether it’s holiday business tips, travel hacks, or gift guides.

✨ Actionable Tips:

1. Batch seasonal content in advance so you can stay consistent when life gets hectic.

2. Add holiday flair to your branding—swap out colors, emojis, or imagery to match the festive vibe.

3. Encourage engagement by asking your audience to tag you in their own holiday moments or share how they’re celebrating.

🧪 Spell #2: The Simplification Potion

Disney Example: Genie+ and Lightning Lanes make park visits smoother and more efficient.

Entrepreneur Application: Simplify your systems so your business runs smoothly, even while you’re sipping cocoa or wrapping presents.

✨ Actionable Tips:

1. Automate your top-performing email sequence for November and December—just add festive subject lines and bonuses.

2. Create one-click systems (like a link hub or canned DM responses) to reduce decision fatigue.

3. Review your to-do list and ask, “Can this wait until January?” Focus only on what moves the needle now.

💫 Spell #3: The Connection Incantation

Disney Example: Holiday parades and shows are all about bringing people together in joy.

Entrepreneur Application: The holidays are the perfect time to strengthen relationships—with clients, followers, and your community.

✨ Actionable Tips:

1. Send five handwritten thank-you notes per week to clients or collaborators who made an impact this year.

2. Host a cozy online holiday hangout—invite your community for cocoa, gratitude, and connection.

3. Share your own traditions or behind-the-scenes holiday moments to humanize your brand.

💰 Spell #4: The Profit Potion

Disney Example: Limited-edition holiday merchandise and events create excitement and urgency.

Entrepreneur Application: Introduce time-sensitive offers or holiday bundles that feel like gifts—not gimmicks.

✨ Actionable Tips:

1. Add a festive bonus to your signature offer (like a Holiday Strategy Call or downloadable workbook).

2. Use scarcity strategically—clearly share when your offer starts and ends to encourage action.

3. Create a collaborative gift guide featuring your offers and complementary ones from biz friends to cross-promote.

🛡️ Spell #5: The Energy Shield

Disney Example: Even during the busiest times, Disney provides ways for guests to recharge—lounges, snack carts, and quiet spots.

Entrepreneur Application: Protect your energy this season so you can show up as your best, most magical self.

✨ Actionable Tips:

1. Schedule “no meeting” days for rest, planning, or simply being present with family.

2. Set holiday boundaries—decide what you’ll say yes to and what you’ll decline this season.

3. Create simple self-care rituals like journaling by the tree or sipping your favorite seasonal drink before work.
