Why I Love Seasonal Business Goal Setting (And Why You Might Too!)

The approach of Season and nature-based business goal setting transformed my business without wreaking havoc on my nervous system or leaving me feeling like I'm constantly falling short. It's given me permission to grow at a pace that feels good while still making meaningful progress.

If you're tired of feeling like you're swimming against the current of traditional business planning, maybe it's time to try something different. Something that works with your natural rhythms instead of against them.

Remember, business growth doesn't have to feel forced or uncomfortable. Sometimes the gentlest path forward is actually the most sustainable one. And isn't that what we're really after - building something that lasts?

What season are you in right now, and what goals are calling to you? I'd love to hear how you might adapt this approach to your own business journey!
