This Business Seasons article was first published on my very first blog platform yes it still exists…What a journey it’s been!
Now, I hope all awesome Mothers in UK had a fantastic Mothering Sunday, and were spoilt divinely by your loved ones. So why is Mum the word them and what obstacles are we talking about. Gimme the opportunity already…
AND what am I talking about though? Business Seasons, yes business has seasons and most Network marketers and bloggers just want the Harvest season. They dont want to know about all the other times that get you to the harvest…
DO YOU KNOW THE SEASON OF BUSINESS YOU ARE RIDING RIGHT NOW?
Nurture the seeds that you planted in the last 90 days.Well, what can I say…It’s spring yay and it looks like we are having a lovely sunny warm one. Doesn’t everyone seem that much nicer when its sunny and warm? They do… here in the land of Queen Eliza!
Now, I am sure you are planning ahead to the summer and the so-called network marketing slow season… 
Many network marketers spew that out every summer. While others are crushing it out of the park!
As in life, business is cyclical. And so as the Visionary, you must journey each season with the confidence that: no matter what season we’re in, it shall soon pass into another. Granted, some seasons may drag out for yonks. But eventually, everything will shift and move forward. If You are Patient and stay focused.
In other words in business seasons, this is “actually spring time too yay.”
This is a time to CREATE stuff. Whittle down the serious and visitors, a time to tighten our belts and keep our eyes on THE WHY i.e. Our Targets.
So we must turn the ground over, plant some beautiful seeds for summer…Or nurture the seeds that you planted in the last 90 days. ASK yourself Am I planting the right seeds right now?
SUMMER is actually the season of Growth. Its when things could get Truly HOT and STICKY. So keep the water flowing, nurture, nurture, nurture. And you just might get through to the Harvest.
Which happens to be Autumn. This is the season of joy, ease, fun, reaping…Its also when You MUST prepare for the Slow Cold, dry and even lean winter season.
So save some of your harvest aka revenue as seed or capital for the planting season which is Spring. Even as you allow for the Rest season which is winter. And you shall always have a harvest.
Winter can feel dry financially as those clients seem to simply dry up and disappear.
And your banker wonders what happened to the sweet flow of cash. Don’t mind all that. Clear out house, prepare to ride out the season.
Nurture the seeds that you planted in the last 90 days.
You want to get yourself The Winning Planner So you can plan out your seasons and Projects for the Seasons of business. To focus your next 90 days on success and actually achieve it. Or a level of it. Go take a peekaboo right now, we’ll wait.
It’s time to turn the land, take the weeds out, turn the soil, put in some manure and let nature do its thing. How well you work in this season will determine your “harvest” in the autumn and summer of business.
What do I mean by this? Well, use this; opportunity to connect, communicate, collaborate and Cross more thresholds. What we call the pillars of the 4-C Formula.
Prospect more, fill your funnel with leads, write a blog, make some videos, and share them with your Facebook audience.
Put together some interesting webinars and train your down-lines on how best to maximize your business. And if that sounds like pulling teeth from a rat, definitely outsource the training to Our Exclusive mastermind.
We are open to Train Groups, teams and even companies on personal branding, digital and network marketing. So do get in touch.

How to get Organic Laser targeted leads from Facebook
Let us Talk about Business Seasons and How they Affect You.
I am going to show you exactly how to get Organic Laser targeted leads from Facebook. I did share with you how to hack the algorithm, >> Click Here to get that done>>
Handle your friends and followers with professionalism and show them that you genuinely care. Invite those you qualify and determine need to your niche Group and ask them to like your fan page. And guess what, you will get some sales.
WHY?
Many network marketers have never made a dime in various programs and are desperate to make some money.
I promise you, they do and would follow the right “LEADER” if you get my drift.
So go ahead and share lots of valuable content. Add value to them, mentor them, engage with them, and marinate them (I love that word.)
And at the right time, they will come to you without you chasing them or pitching them. This takes time but it works for 6-7 figure earners, why not YOU. Rome wasn’t built in one day was it?? Neither did you grow up overnight so deal with the time issue already!
This is what alphas do…
And guess what else the Alphas and big hitters do, whether they’re planning a trip to the beach, or whatever, many pick up and read a book or two daily.
Allow me to give you a gift of a free e-book <<Click this link>> to take delivery. Its free no obligation, just because I love to read a good book, one that uplifts me and share the joy 🙂 This is your season of sowing and nurturing…Spring!
Leaders are readers, Model them, get some traction in your business.
BUT again there is some surprising info, According to Amazon Kindles Tech statistics, most people never get past the first 2 chapters of a book.
A real shame because books do change lives. You may have great “plans” to read a book, but allow other things to take priority. We are also getting shorter and shorter attention spans, and what do we prefer? Most would rather watch some brain cell-killing reality T.V. a few hours daily, and for some, that’s all day!
In the online marketing industry, I believe it’s worse because we’re bombarded with ads, via email selling new products daily. Mind you it’s VERY easy to hit that “Buy Now” button.
Sheishhh I have done so a few times, thank God I do have my senses and cancel in time. Many times the claims are ones that excite the heck out of us, many also have the potential to change our lives. And on a few occasions, I have been blessed with a gem. No risk taken no gain, Right?
Sadly though many people buy a ton of online products, and never actually go through the training, much less apply anything from it.
Thus they lose time and money and sometimes friends and colleagues too! Other times, programs Fail us miserably, either due to greed, OR Just due to a lack of New affiliates/distributors, making it hard for the owners to keep it running.
This is definitely a business winter Season.
Just like in any Offline business, No customers, no money. Overheads pile up and the math doesn’t add up anymore…
What does one do? It is again a matter of risk management and hopefully picking the right gem.
So, it’s only when you decide to take real, focused action that things start to happen. That your stars will start to align. You can be a buyer…A reader…Or a DOER… or keep going on all kinds of fool’s errands!
But you know what’s NOT a fool’s errand? Getting serious and signing up with a real business or starting an offline business after calculating all the risks, doing your math, and creating a strategy & plan.
Once you have a business and a plan, part of that plan should and must be Marketing. And for that, we highly recommend this program.
Do this, and I promise you, your life will take a strong turn for the better.

Continue to help more moms especially by being an example to them. Even though I am a man, some points can still be applicable. (y)
Thank you Michael 🙂
YOu have a lot of good points here. I agree that planning and perfect timing in setting up a business is really important and I also believe that in order for you to succeed on it you need to have a passion of doing it.
Passion,…In and of itself is nor a recipe for success, Its Habits, Consistency, ACTION, that birth PASSION and in turn Success! 🙂
#MyTwoPence
I agree you need to follow through on the things you want in life you want any success from them. There will always be reasons to quit and escape. Only the successful ones will see things through.
Hard to find content like you. Quite interesting and informative
Thank you Annie 🙂
Great blog post, I definitely agree with everything that you said. Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips.
You are welcome Nina 🙂
all i can do is smiles, but great point though thanks.
🙂 Thanks for stopping by Ogbugbu
Completely agreed.
Planning and correct timing is the most important point in business.
Spot on Samar 🙂 PLUS Positioning
I enjoyed reading about business. I honestly never knew how to handle my business until now. Good points that you make here.
Wow, I loved reading this, It also had some amazing business guide, I definitely need help in that area.
I am glad I found this point. I agree, there’s a season for everything. I always recommend riding the wave or making the most of the good times.
Yes Sue,
for there is a Time for everything and that is the truth.
oh wow I’ve never really thought about business seasons before! I definitely need to look into that and start planning! Love this planner too! I am just awful at using one!
Azirtak,
We are what we repeatedly do, so if you build a habit of tracking, journaling and planning your days and business you will build success faster 🙂
Paying attention to the season will help businesses learn when is the best time to market something. It’ll even help them with knowing how to go about marketing something. By paying attention to what people are doing at different times of the year a business will have a better grasp on how to market their service or product to their potential customer for sure.
You totally get it Jasmine 🙂
Seasons bring a lot of different things, and that includes trends. Always have to know whats trending to be successful. You made some pretty good points.
it is an interesting point. I think it is important to think everything through esp in business.
Great and very informative post. Since I am new in this field so I guess that it will help me in a long way. Thank you so much.
You are welcome Arun, glad you got value!
I have notice a trend change in the last few years, where early spring had been a slow period and in resent years they have been busier. Late fall the trend would be for things to start to slow down before the end of year explosion and again the trend has been that the slow down was hardly noticeable. I believe this was in part to household expenditures that have changed from annual fixed anniversary date to a diverse payment date.
Indeed Sometimes the Natural global seasons are reflected in our Business Seasons. That said. every one’;s business season is different from the otehr and often times different from nature and geo seasons 🙂
Interesting post! In my freelance business, spring & fall are definitely the high points – as a management consultant in Sweden where all offices are almost empty all summer & several weeks in December/January there’s no work to be had then. But then again, for my other food blogging business the high season is late fal/christmas/january – so I guess it balances it out well. And leaves summer less crowded which is always nice 😉
Definitely agree that there’s a season for everything and it’s so important to know what season you’re product/service sells best!
Yes! In everything there’s seasons. A good season for sales in books is round the winter holidays. But that’s the worst time to advertise for instance
Isnt that the best observation about Advertising and the winter season 🙂 YET Its the best time to advertise for Christmas related stuff 🙂 Everything has a season for sure Lieze!
Syl
there are definitely seasons in business. however, for food blogging the “in” season is fall and winter, and it all dries up in the summer!
Business seasons do not necessarily follow Earth Seasons Danielle. Coz we each Sow into our Businesses at different times of the year. So whatever that time is count that your Business Spring. 🙂 That said, some businesses do follow the earth bound seasons
Syl
i always learn a lot from you! Thank you!
Glad you get value Jessa. 🙂
I am ready for Summer the season of growth!
It’s slow for my business right now so I am ready for that!
We are all ready for the growth and harvest mostly, we ignore the lower season that comes immediately after seeding and the time of nurturing. Glad you are ready for growth Ashli
Never thought about using “seasons” to describe how a business is doing. I guess I am going through a “winter season” right now. Business is slow and there is no one to blame but me. I get back up on my feet and make this business boom! Oh and yes, I agree – Planners are a great tool for the success of any business.
Like everything in life, there are cycles, ups downs or seasons and business is no different Kristine 🙂 So yes we do have Business Seasons and a new startup or Biz owner would be very much on the right path by following the path of least resistance and do what works best in the different seasons.
Syl
So informative! Thank you for sharing with us. The planner seems kind of cool.

You are most welcome Elizabeth 🙂
Great article. This is a topic I know I need to learn more about you really helped me understand some good ways.
Very interesting! I never thought about seasons of business. I especially like this quote: “You must journey each season with the confidence that: no matter what season we’re in, it shall soon pass into another.”
I’ve never thought about it in terms of the seasons. That makes so much sense!
If it werent seasons Tammie, we would be in One constant state all the time. Like Farmers we must embrace the Business Seasons and win more. 🙂
I could not agree more with you. this such an informative post. thank you for sharing 🙂
