Of course, every season is important in your business, but winter is often overlooked. And while these seasons may look different for everyone, it’s important that each one is included in your schedule so that you can have a healthy balance of growth, both personally and in your business. Unlike the seasons in real life, they don’t (and shouldn’t) last an entire quarter. Actually, each week should have a bit of each season in your schedule. Why is Winter important? That's exactly what we're going to talk about today! Find the complete show notes for this episode here.

Did you know that your business has four seasons? Well, it does! And in today’s episode, we’re going to look at them in a big picture view to introduce this concept and mini-series. Each of these seasons allows us to develop a different aspect of our business. BALANCE While living in, for example, a summer season might be fun for a “beachy” person, if our business was always in that season, we’d find other areas lacking. In this episode, I talk a little bit about what your business might look like if your seasons are out of balance. I also introduce the concept of the orchard model in your business. The beauty of this model is that, unlike in “real life,” these seasons are flexible and can run concurrently. Read the complete show notes here.
