Growing a business often feels like working on a puzzle with the pieces upside down. We can piece together the edges and the corners, but filling in the middle feels like a shot in the dark. By using the seasons of your business as a guide, I’m hoping to help you understand where you are and what things you need to do to get to the next season. This week, episode 128 of the Product Powerhouse Podcast is about the five seasons of your product business! 

Build your Shopify store in just 14 days. This roadmap walks you through exactly what you need to do to design a strategic and beautiful Shopify store.

Here is a quick breakdown of each of the seasons, but be sure to listen to the full episode to get more details. In each, you’ll also get actionable steps on what you should be doing to move from one season to the next.

Season One - Establishing

In this season, you are going from zero to one. You’re building from resources easily available to you. It usually costs you heavily in time and sometimes money as you get your business up and running. 

Season Two - Growing

You are putting down roots in this season. You’ve successfully built something that needs to be tended to so that it can grow sustainably. This is a great time to start automating and creating systems to give you more time. 

Season Three - Full Steam Ahead

In this season, you are focusing on running on all cylinders because your product suite and processes are fine-tuned. This is a great time to consider how your business fits into your life.

Season Four - Max Capacity (Coasting)

Things steady out in this season, and some business owners decide to stay in this season instead of moving into the next one. During this time, your team is supporting you with orders and customers, your systems are running smoothly, and your profit margins are healthy.

Season Five - Expansion

You’re preparing for what’s next in this season. You have a clear vision of the direction you want the business to go and you’re getting everything ready to make that happen.
