"In the Spring, I have counted
136 different kinds of weather inside of 24 hours."

Do I dare challenge Mother Nature or tempt fate by discussing weather patterns in Wisconsin? Let's walk on the wild side! The ground might be a drab shade of brown, but the warmth in the air and the delightful feeling of sun on the face, certainly feels like we are ushering in spring. And with only four days left of winter, milder weather will be here to stay...and then leave again.
I saw this post on social media that depicted Wisconsin's seasons with detailed accuracy. We are not only fortunate to experience 4 seasons in Wisconsin, we get to ride the climate rollercoaster which feels more like 11 to 12 seasons!

Just like our beloved weather patterns, business falls into seasons, or cycles. Business cycles are categorized as expansion, peak, recession and trough. Sounds kind of like spring, summer, fall & winter! Ha! When you narrow the scope and look at small business development you'd here terminology like start-up, growth, expansion, maturity and transition. Knowing the season of your business is a must, because simply put, you don't wear snow boots to the beach. Not that you can't, you can labor through sand with hot sweaty feet trapped inside water resistant footwear covered in unwelcomed sand. But that sounds like torture. Moving too fast or not moving at all can leave a business navigating the beach in snow boots. Torture!
Our 12 month calendar keeps us tied to the climatic changes. Rain vs. Snow? We know what to anticipate. That same calendar does not exist with business cycles. Business leaders have to discern when to grow and when to transition to ensure a productive business climate. They have to discern the appropriate footwear [business measures] all with little help from the local meteorologist.
Spring is knocking at the door. But maybe what's waiting at your doorstep is expansion. Or maybe it's transition. Perhaps you're deciding whether or not to commit to the daydream and make a leap into start-up! For all intents and purposes, pay attention to the forecast and carry a spare set of flip flops, cause you just never know what's coming.
