What Autumn Can Teach Entrepreneurs About Change

Autumn begins today, and it makes a point every business owner eventually learns.

Nothing grows year-round without a season of pruning.

"Trees do not shed leaves out of failure. They shed them to survive the winter."

Prune the Offer List

Most businesses carry a service or product line that consumes attention and returns very little.

Cutting it is not a loss. It is capacity returned.

Plan for the Slow Season

Use the quieter months for the projects revenue months never allow: systems, training, and brand work.

Seasons are a schedule, if you treat them like one.

The Takeaway

Name one thing to retire before year end and one project to start with the time it frees.
