I'm excited to take you behind the scenes today to chat about how I've set up my seasons of business in 2023. I love sharing these types of episodes with you because I know how much I enjoy listening to behind-the-scenes insights from other entrepreneurs. It's fascinating to see how we all live, work, and plan in our businesses. So, get ready for some valuable tips on planning strategically and finding that perfect balance between growth and rest.

I've found that dividing my year into three distinct seasons works wonders for avoiding burnout and staying focused on my goals. In this episode, I go into detail about these three seasons which centre around growth and launch, delivery and rest. 

My growth and launch season is when I'm all about bringing new clients into the business. During this period, I'm fueled by creativity and have somewhat of a push energy to really push the needle forward. I share exactly what this looks like in my business in terms of when I structure these seasons and how they flow really well with my Mastermind model. 

Following these launch periods, I shift gears to prioritise client support and delivery. This period is somewhat of a maintenance mode, ensuring that my clients are supported in the best way possible. I talk about how this period is during the winter months for me, enabling me to really nestle into those cosy vibes. 

Throughout the year, I place a lot of importance on rest and rejuvenation, which means that I schedule proper holiday periods where I'm completely off calls to recharge and disconnect. I also have rest pockets during my call-free weeks where I can avoid Zoom fatigue and give myself that extra downtime. This is such an important piece in terms of understanding what I need to avoid burnout and really be able to give my best to my clients. 

In this conversation, I also share how I anchor my Masterminds during certain parts of the year and strategically create space to be able to flow with my energy and creativity around other launches. I also talk about constantly looking three to six months ahead to create a sustainable business strategy.

I hope you find this episode really helpful and that it provides you with a structure that you could take into your own business in a way that supports you.
