The winner gets a prize
of my choosing or sometimes, depending on the season or holiday, I’ll have
a variety of prizes. For example, I’ll have the winner choose from 4
Easter eggs. Each
egg has a prize in it on a piece of paper such as 10% off any item they
purchase or a gift I’ve pre-purchased at the $ store.

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. I have seen it too many times. A business owner will have a
big party and overspend after having a great month then they are short
when a lean month comes along.
Most businesses have an annual cycle and it's imperative to know what
that cycle is for your business.
Determining The Cycle
If you have been in business for a year or more, go back in your
records and chart the amount of business each month. Is it steady? Are
some months much higher while others much lower? Use this information to
define your business cycle.
If you are just starting out, do some informational interviews with
other people in your industry. Ask what the busiest times of the year are
and what the slowest are. Ask what affects people's decisions in buying.
It's important to make the distinction that the business cycle I'm
speaking of in this article is not dictated by the economy but rather by
the buying habits of your clients and the seasonality of your market. Slow
periods created by a down economy require additional measures be taken to
generate business.
Making The Most Of Your Business Cycle
Once you determine your business cycle, brainstorm ways to leverage or
minimize the slow times. Here are some ideas:
* Do side work - For example, I teach classes at a virtual university.
During slow client months I keep my calendar full by teaching more classes
and replace the client cash flow with teaching cash flow. This minimizes
the impact of client's taking vacations and breaks that month.
I would recommend that the side work either relates to your main
business, compliment your main business or feed a passion in you. The
point is to stay engaged, not to start something completely new and
different.
* Catch-up. Although it's great to think we get everything done we need
and would like to, the reality is we often don't. Make a list of
unfinished projects such as scanning business cards, calling old contacts,
updating addresses, hiring a new CPA and plan to knock out the list during
a slow month.
* Create. Design new products, set-up partnerships or create a
marketing campaign that will roll out following the slow cycle.
* Plan. It seems easier to take time to think, plan and strategize when
there are fewer day-to-day activities happening.
* Update systems. When fewer people are using the systems you have in
place it's easier to transition to newer, better ones. Some systems
to review: credit card processing, database, newsletter provider and
communications among your team.
* Schedule doctor's appointments. I book all my annual doctor's
appointments during my slow months. Doing so keeps appointments from
conflicting with my client call schedules and gives me more wriggle room
around the appointment so I don't feel rushed to get back to the office.
* Connect. Meeting friends for coffee or taking the time to have lunch
with your spouse can be a luxury during a busy month, so plan some outings
when you can.
* Rejuvenate. Slow months can be the perfect time for you to get away
because fewer clients will miss you. I take two to three weeks off in
December to spend quality time with my family in Colorado. I find that
during this time I can turn off my computer completely and enjoy really
quality downtime to refresh my creative juices.
To offset the weeks without work, I offer clients the opportunity to
pay upfront for the following year's sessions if they need more tax
write-offs in the current year. Typically, two to three clients take
advantage of this offer that helps to keep my December income balanced
with other months.
No matter how you choose to use the extra time during slower months,
make sure you do use it efficiently. Time is a commodity for small
business owners.
