I've been thinking a lately about how much we need fallow times in order to have healthy growing seasons.
If you read traditional business advice, it seems like your practice should always be growing, bringing in more clients, getting bigger and bigger each month, each year.
Growth does take a toll, though. Eventually, quieter periods will come.
Sometimes, there will be fewer clients. Fewer people will sign up for your class than did last year or the year before.
It doesn't mean the whole ship is going down. It may mean that your practice ebbs and flows like everything else in nature.
It takes trust not to panic when this happens.
Fallow times serve a purpose, too.
Take care,
Camille
