In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CEO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., tackles the challenges of managing seasonal ups and downs in your business. From fluctuating cash flow to balancing tax planning and growth goals, Danielle shares actionable strategies to help you weather any season stress-free with KSA's framework. Whether you're an entrepreneur dealing with summer slumps, winter lulls, or unexpected expenses, this episode is packed with insights to help you stay ahead. Learn how to identify seasonal trends, plan effectively, and keep your mindset strong, no matter what challenges the season you're in brings! Key Takeaways: Understanding Seasonality: Use your financial data to identify patterns of seasonal sales and profits by running a profit and loss report by month (covering at least 24 months) to spot trends.

Don't wait until you're in desperate need and are scrambling! Maximize Downtime: Slower seasons are the perfect time for strategic planning, professional development, system audits, and personal well-being. Strategies for Peak Seasons: Despite high cash flow, this is the time to avoid overspending and start saving for the off-season.

250: What if your business was run like a juicy red strawberry stand, only in season in the summer? And the rest of the year was focused on planting the seeds, watering them, and nurturing them with enough sunlight to burst out of the ground? This is the beauty of seasonal working - or what I'm coining as wavy marketing. In this solo ep, I break down the components of wavy marketing, explaining how it allows for periods of high and low activity that align with personal energy levels and life's curveballs. This style of running my biz and marketing has allowed me to maintain a thriving business while prioritizing travel, relationships, and personal growth. If you're an entrepreneur or content creator seeking a more flexible and intuitive way to approach your marketing efforts, this episode is for you! Snippets: • ‘I believe I've personally confused consistency with frequency. I think I've also confused it with being prolific.' • ‘I consider what I do very wavy. So here's what I mean. Wavy marketing is essentially seasonal marketing. I like to work in seasonal cycles versus always on.' • ‘Why am I going to force myself to do these things that I don't like, just to say that I'm quote unquote marketing? I don't think that's good marketing if you don't like doing it. If your energy is being depleted and you hate doing it, and you're like, this f***ing sucks, I think people feel that energy.' • ‘Make a quadrant on a piece of paper and on the top left, write what I love and what I'm good at. On the right, write what I love and I'm bad at. On the bottom left, write what I hate and I'm good at. And what I hate and I'm bad at. Now, once you list all those things out, decipher where to put your energy, and the hate sections, the bottom, that should either be automated, delegated, or deleted.'

Kimi Chadwick chats with us about running a pumpkin patch without any farming experience! Kimi is the co-owner of Craven Farm, winners of the Best of Snohomish County two years in a row. She and her husband are incredibly savvy business owners who are utilizing vertical integration in nearly all aspects of their business, including a fleet of in-house concessions and floral design. It's no surprise that on the day of our interview, they closed on the purchase of Whitewall Brewing Company, a local brewery that had been considering shutting down.

Kimi is smart, yet incredibly humble, and I absolutely love her and her husband's innovative business approach.Subscribe on Apple Podcast , Spotify or other major streaming platforms.Let's connect!Subscribe to my newsletter: Time To Live: Thriving in Business and BeyondWebsite: https://www.annemcginty.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annemcgintyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annemcgintyhost

Just off the coast of Portland, Maine, in the Casco Bay lies Great Diamond Island, the home of Crown Jewel, a unique dining hotspot where you are sure to make new friends and memories while you delight in the chef's creative twists on seafood standards and truly smashing cocktails. A 20-minute ferry or water taxi ride will get you there, but you'll definitely need a reservation. This gem is open Memorial Day to Columbus Day and offers an intimate dining setting, with 35 seats, in what was long-ago a Blacksmith's shop.Crown Jewel's creator and owner, Alex Wight, has had a longstanding passion for creating memorable dining experiences; she has made this her life's work. As we discuss, after studying at the Institute for Culinary Education, Alex received hands-on training in the kitchens of some of the most renowned restaurants in New York and San Sebastian, Spain. Hardwired for entrepreneurship, she knew early on that she wanted to bring her creative visions to life with her own restaurant. As with many entrepreneurial journeys, getting to and succeeding on Great Diamond Island has not been easy. Alex learned to be a resilient and creative problem solver from her mom. Her unflappable demeanor continues to serve her well. We discuss the challenges of owning and operating a seasonal restaurant on an island with a limited water supply, making friends with neighbors, and launching a “boatside” service during the pandemic. We get Alex's impressions on how the restaurant business has evolved during her career with respect to diversity and equity. Finally, Alex shares her thoughts on labor shortages and environmental sustainability in the industry.

I had a dance teacher say, “If you can't fix it, feature it!” As a studio owner, you may experience a slower season. (actually a lot of businesses feature “slower months.”) So how can we feature our business well with SEO during our slower month(s)? Do you have products or services that maybe don't get the lime light? But the thought of not carrying them in your studio would be out of the question. THIS is what you can feature in your SEO so that those key words are coming up at the right time and place for your potential clients, making those slower months, well - less slow. In todays episode I share exactly what happened in my brick and mortar studio to spark this conversation and give a few other examples of what you can do to amp up revenue in your local brick and mortar.

Seasonal Business Tips During Inflation Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. It is a bit of a tricky challenge if you're a business because this is your peak time, during the summer in New Jersey has a tremendous amount of seasonal businesses that come out and are doing the fairs and you know or the summer or the lake region attractions. And so they have to make their money during this time. And so it is the repeat visit that's going to help. And so when you sell something to a consumer, you have to market and sales expenses in order to do that. And now it's of sell the second thing, there is a marketing and sales expense. However, if you go back to the bundling that I mentioned, where you can sell the multiple things, you eliminate the sales and marketing expense from that second product. The next thing that you do is when somebody leaves, and they're exiting from your attraction or your place of business, you give them a coupon to–for a savings when they come back. Right, encourage that second visit, encourage that third visit. And the other thing that you can do is if you are in a community where there are other businesses, team up with your non competitive businesses, and offer coupons and discounts to your neighbor business as they leave so if I go into your breakfast restaurant, and luncheonette that's not open for dinner. As I leave you give me a coupon to come back for breakfast there. But you also give me a coupon to go to the dinner restaurant that's right next door, and they'll do the same. And so that's a cooperative way, where by lowering our sales and marketing expense, we can still do well even by offering that discount. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Greg Kitzmiller is an expert on how to retire and live as an expat in Panama. He shares everything he knows in his book “2 Retire In Panama: Adventures Of A Young Retired Couple.” Greg and his wife Jen did their due diligence and research before taking the plunge toward retirement in Panama. He shares his ongoing research in a weekly newsletter, providing updates to a growing community of people who are considering retirement in Panama. I venture to say that his book and newsletter are also very helpful to the digital nomad crowd, as younger people are looking into location independence. Living as an expat in Panama myself, I can atest that Greg's book is packed full of useful content. You can find Greg's book and newsletter at 2RetireInPanama.com. In this conversation we cover Greg and wife Jen's research and exploration of Panama, the post publishing challenges of marketing the book, his plans for paid content related to retiring and living in Panama, and the creative motivation behind his next book. Greg is a super nice guy. I've enjoyed working with him on his website and newsletter. I have also enjoyed getting to know him a little better through this conversation and random meetings about town in the Coronado beach area. Please enjoy my chat with Greg Kitzmiller.

How have restaurants in tourist economies adapted to meet the challenges of operating (or not) during a pandemic? Before considering COVID, these businesses face a number of struggles unique to seasonal populations - challenges finding staff, housing staff, and catering to a fluid, changing customer base that increases tenfold during the season. For an already challenging industry, adding a global pandemic is a death knell unless operators get inventive.
"I had to plan ahead in terms of if I will be selling this business. I need to make sure that my business is not only on Etsy and Amazon because I don't believe it looks good if you want to sell a business to only have online stores and you don't own the customers, you don't have their email, it's not your customer base. It's Etsy's or Amazon's customers. I wanna grow my customer base so that I'm able to make those plans if I need to at some point, like selling this business."–Maria Laurin, Founder of Willow and Bee and Host of the Handmade CEO podcastIn this episode, Ben Schneider and Maria Laurin talk about how to start and grow a niche product on Etsy and Amazon, the operational side of a seasonal business, the challenges of growing a small business as a solopreneur and a full-time parent, and the #1 breakthrough moment that increased her sales.EPISODE NOTES:Maria Laurin is a small business owner and a podcaster. She specializes in creating and selling faith-based jewelry and has been podcasting since February 2020. She created her jewelry business, Willow and Bee, while her kids were in school. She later had to learn how to juggle the transition into homeschooling while still growing her business. She's currently selling her products at a national retail store Von Maur, Etsy, and Amazon Handmade. Although her niche is very seasonal, she has come to enjoy the break that this gives her. During her off-season, she's able to pursue helping others through her podcast–the Handmade CEO.Social media works differently for different niches. For Maria Laurin, her time and energy are put more into face-to-face business communications advantages.

The Perfect Seasonal Business Many years ago, Don and I got to interview Blake Smith from The Decor Group (Christmas Decor, Nite Time Decor. At the Décor Group...Franchising is their business.

They had no prior decorating experience, but they understood what it means to work hard to grow a successful business. Each one found that Christmas Decor was the perfect seasonal business to expand their revenues.

We sit down with three business owners to discuss how they're preparing for these unexpected changes. Featuring Suzanna Cameron, owner of Stems Brooklyn in Brooklyn, NY; Kim Moistner-Bartlett, Kona Ice Franchise Owner and Chief Learning Officer; and Beau Coan, Chief Operations Officer of Papa Noel Christmas Trees in Texas.
Catering to some of Muskoka's finest waterfront properties has not been the easiest road to success. In-fact, relatively seasonal work, remote projects that are often on islands, and a small rural population of people to attract, recruit and retain employees make Kevin's business one of the more unique in the green industry. The vast majority of their landscape projects are centered on Lake Muskoka, Lake Rosseau, and Lake Joseph, and if you live in that area, they've probably worked on your lake property too. Experienced crews operate together in their specialty areas such as hardscape and stone installation, gardens and planting, lighting and irrigation, property maintenance, and caretaking. And their clients appreciate the complete landscape experience they offer from the first conceptual drawing to the first sunset in your Muskoka chair.13 years later, in the landscaping business, and Muskoka Landscapers owns the lion share of work within the Muskoka area and is in a position to work with select customers who appreciate the company's attention to detail and quality craftsmanship at every level. Throughout this episode, Stanley Genadek pokes and prods Kevin to share some of his experiences in operating what is mostly a seasonal business, how he manages his cashflow, and retains his employees. They also get into the details and processes in how Muskoka Landscapers have grown and managed their growth since 2007.
Recently I overheard a coach saying that her business had been doing well and then over the last two months everything came to an abrupt halt.Prospects weren’t showing up. People stopped opening emails and engaging on social media. And her income slowed way down.She was ready to give up on her business. And I thought to myselt, “Don’t do that! Instead accelerate and expand your efforts to attract ideal clients.”Hearing her anxiety made me remember when I was a new coach. But here’s what I realized down the road. That daily pain I felt about fluctuations in my business came down to one mistake …Taking things personally instead of responding strategically.Do you know what I mean? If you are feeling blown around in the wind and like you have no control over your coaching business, it’s time for a mindset shift.You Control Your Results in Your Coaching BusinessHere’s the truth … you do have control over your business. Yes, you may need to may small incremental adjustment to help your coaching business thrive, but YOU hold the controls for the most part.Think about it … You control how often and how effectively you’re getting in front of your target audience. This is the first place to look if you’re not earning enough as a coach. You control your fees, what value you deliver and can even have a significant influence over how attracted your audience is to what you offer.If you haven’t heard it already, I have a whole series called Coaching Business Checkup with 9 episodes that go step by step into the most strategic things you can do before you launch your coaching business.There’s also a downloadable self-assessment to test what’s working and what’s not working in your coaching business. Find that series at prosperouscoach.com/checkupThe Seasons of Your Coaching BusinessAll that said, there is one thing you can’t control. You cannot control a seasonal slow down. But you can shift your mindset about how you respond it and even plan for it.Depending on your target audience and the flow of their lives there may be a few times each year when paying clients will be less likely to hire you.Typical slow down times relate to the school year:· Spring break· Late summer· Christmas and New YearsAnd then there’s events like major elections, such as the Presidential election coming up in the US.Short-term stress leading up to and just beyond an election may mean people are less grounded to make big decisions. The stock market often dips then as well.But don’t think that long-term stress has the same effect. It does not. That’s why I don’t recommend that you hold off on launching your business or that you let it lapse during the pandemic.Recently, I published an episode called Should You Launch Your Coaching Business at a Better Time. Find that at prosperouscoach.com/91. Give it a listen because there’s more insight in there about how we fool ourselves into thinking certain times aren’t good for running a coaching business.How Can a Smart Coach Respond to Seasonal Slow Downs?Plan both practically and emotionally for these slower times.Find more Show Notes here.

How do you keep a business going, when your service or product is seasonal? David Lepak owns a pest control service called Mosquito Joe of Waukesha County. He shares his journey to buying a franchise and building a customer base of 600 in the first year. About Dave and Lynn Lepak Lynn is a registered nurse and Dave is a recovering politician. After downsizing their home, the couple wanted to get into a business where they could help people. The idea for getting into the Mosquito business came after throwing a party on their new outdoor deck. As the sun started to go down, the mosquitos came out, forcing everyone to go inside their smaller home. After that experience, the Lepak’s learned the mosquito was a dangerous predator, causing the most deaths in the world. They also discovered mosquito control was a “thing.” They originally worked with a pest control franchisor that proved to be non-responsive to their needs. Then, they discovered Mosquito Joe and became the first Mosquito Joe franchise in Wisconsin in 2018. Mosquito Joe Mosquito Joe has just under 300 franchisees in the U.S. and they all treat only mosquitos. The company has a Barrier Spray Program that uses three products. The first product is sprayed around the property’s problem areas to deter flying pests. A second product is sprayed on foliage to kill mosquitos, followed by a third spray that inhibits reproduction. The first treatment eliminates 75 to 80 percent of all mosquitos, and more than 90 percent by the third treatment. Treatments typically last three weeks, so having a regular treatment program is best. All Mosquito Joe products are low toxicity, but there are also all-natural products available made from garlic extract or rosemary and peppermint that have no toxicity but are not as effective. The Mosquito Joe Difference David says the real difference in his pest control service from competitors is customer service. The company spends lots of time with its customers finding out how they use their backyard so that they can be effective. Mosquitos are the only thing Dave’s company treats, so they strive to be the best at mosquito control. Running a Seasonal Service Mosquito season in Wisconsin may only be 5 months max, but according to Dave, it’s a year-round business. During the off-season, David spends the time evaluating the last season and making improvements, maintaining vans and equipment, restocking products and marketing materials, and updating customer lists. While profit margins take a hit in the off-season, Dave keeps revenues coming by offering attractive deals for customers who renew and new customers who sign up for the next season in advance. Staffing is also a challenge in a seasonal business, although David typically targets college students and places a heavy emphasis on training. Advice for Franchise Seekers If you’re looking into purchasing a franchise business of your own, David has this advice: Call as many franchisees as you can and make sure you get answers to all of your questions Do some vetting of your own regarding the leadership team, finding out how long the organization has been in business, how much turnover there has been within the company and what kind of operations and marketing support it provides the franchisee Get to know the franchisor and support staff by visiting the headquarters Understand the franchise contract in totality because you can’t change it Be passionate about your business. Don’t just dial it in. Connect with David Lepak Phone: 262-232-7570 Email: waukeshacounty@mosquitojoe.com Facebook: @MosquitoJoeofWaukeshaCounty Website: https://waukeshacounty.mosquitojoe.com/
