You’ve been talking about pursuing your dream since high school. You’ve been stuffing a file with places you’d like to travel since you got your first job.

Congratulations-It's A Business!
Imagine having a newbo dropped off on your doorstep wrapped only in a blanket with a note attached that reads, "Take care of me." For the sake of argument say you wanted a baby so this is like a windfall. You bring the child in the house and it only takes a couple of moments to realize that you have no diapers and no formula, so out you go (or you send your husband) to buy the necessary items. When he returns, you change and feed the infant and begin rocking her to sleep, but once she drifts off you are at a loss as to where to put her.

Making The Most Of Your Down Business Cycle
When I first started coaching my mentor coach warned me that August and December tended to be slow months while January, April and September were the busiest months in terms of clients seeking coaches. Armed with this information, I was able to build a realistic income forecast for my business as well as plan personal downtime. Planning around my business cycles is one key way I have been able to stay in business for 12 years. Unfortunately, too many people believe that the amount they make one month will translate to all months and then they're in trouble when that's not the case.
