Hi, Reader! I wrote a quick guide to help you plan Q4 (and the start of next year) based on your actual capacity - not internet "shouls" and expectations. In 20 seconds, youâll name your season - Survival, Maintenance, Momentum, or Scale - and get right-sized moves to match it. Why this works: when your strategy fits your season, you waste less energy, protect what matters, and grow more consistently. Itâs simple stewardship - of your time, attention, relationships, and business. A strategy that ignores capacity isnât a strategy - itâs a strain. If youâre ready to trade âalways onâ for whatâs right-sized right now, start here: Cheering for the season youâre actually in,
P.S. Not sure between two seasons? Choose the lower-energy one for now. Let me know what season you're in with a reply or just send your favorite seasonal emoji!
