Do you know the season you are in?

“Life is about constant, predictable patterns of change. The only constant factor is our ability to adapt.” — Jim Rohn
Every business has seasons — just like nature. This rhythm is not just a metaphor. It’s a model of growth, resilience, and renewal. Mastering the seasons of business means learning when to plant, when to work, when to harvest, and when to rest.
Jim Rohn, one of the most respected voices in personal development, taught this with extraordinary clarity. In his classic Leading an Inspired Life and many of his seminars, he reminded us that success is never a surprise — it’s the result of doing the right things in the right season.
And the truth is, this principle didn’t start with business or personal development. It’s ancient. It’s biblical.
“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7
If you plant with intention, you harvest with joy. If you delay planting or sow carelessly, the harvest will reflect that.
So, what season are you in?
🌱 Spring: The Season of Planting
Spring is the time to sow ideas, test opportunities, and prepare the soil of your business. It’s fresh. It’s exciting. But it requires courage.
Jim Rohn said: “Springtime is the season of opportunity — and we must take advantage of it quickly because it doesn’t last long.”
Ask yourself:
- Are you planting enough?
- Are you learning new skills, networking, creating content, building systems?
The seeds you plant now will become the fruit of your business later.
☀️ Summer: The Season of Nurturing
Summer is hot. Summer is hard. In business, this is where effort counts. You’ve planted the seeds, now you must protect them — from weeds, storms, and doubt.
It’s a season of work, refinement, and persistence. The temptation is to slack off. But as Jim taught, “You’ve got to nourish your values like you nourish a garden.”
Now is when your systems are tested. Your leadership is refined. Your mindset is shaped.
🍂 Fall: The Season of Harvest
Fall is the most rewarding season — if you’ve planted in the spring and protected in the summer.
But here’s the wisdom: you only reap what you sow.
If you sowed nothing, or little, or carelessly — your harvest will reflect that.
This is not punishment. It’s a principle. A life law. A business law. A biblical law.
Celebrate your wins in the fall. Evaluate your harvest honestly. Let it guide your future.
❄️ Winter: The Season of Rest and Reflection
Winter gets a bad reputation. But winter is not the enemy.
In business, winter is a time to:
- Review systems
- Prune what’s not working
- Rest, reflect, and realign
Jim Rohn said: “Learn how to handle the winters. They come regularly. Some are long. Some are short. But they always come.”
The wise business leader doesn’t fear winter — they use it. They sharpen their vision for the next cycle.
💡 How to Work with the Seasons
Here’s the key: You cannot skip seasons. You can’t harvest in spring or rest in summer.
But you can recognize your season, and work with it — not against it.
🔄 Ask yourself weekly:
- Am I planting new ideas?
- Am I putting in the work to support growth?
- Am I harvesting or refining?
- Am I using downtime to prepare for the next chapter?
When you operate in alignment with the seasons, burnout decreases and results increase.
