It's the most wonderful time of the year . . . I LOVE FALL! I used to run cross country - I love the smell in the air, the look of the trees, the wood stoves firing up. I get nostalgic for those times. But what is nature really telling us at this time of the year?

Things die. Leaves are falling to the ground. Tilled my garden under for the winter.
Things hibernate. Grass is turning light brown for the winter, but will come back in Spring.
Things turn cold. Left the bedroom windows open last night. We FROZE!
Time to pack things away. That incredible teal floral hawaiian swimsuit I bought thankfully goes away until next summer.
Time to get ready for different weather. Having my famous wood stove cleaned as I type - wood is being delivered this week.
Time for my favorite foods to appear. Macoun apples are MY favorite. By the way - looking for them - some help here would be appreciated.
Get busy. Squirrels are losing their friggin' minds collecting thousands of acorns that have fallen on the ground.

How does this align with business? You career? Your life?

Things die. Mourn their loss (a project, a system, a job) and MOVE ON. Right Now. It's never coming back.
Things hibernate. A stream of business has gone away - look for others - don't fret! Take Action.
Things turn cold. That's life - sometimes people or businesses give you the cold shoulder - find where the warmth lives.
Time to pack things away. Things that haven't been working now might need to be put away for awhile. Work on new and interesting stuff.
Time to get ready for different weather. Change your game - start targeting people instead of waiting for them to come to you.
Time for my favorite foods to appear. New things appear on a regular timetable - what happens in your industry at this time? Take advantage of it - be prepared.

And finally . . .

GET BUSY! Stand up, get out, and start collecting the thousands of acorns that have fallen on the ground.

Just one might change your life.
