    #012: It’s a New Season. Now What? | Your Q4 Business Reset

    Welcome to a brand-new season of GeauxGetter! And this season, we're doing things a little differently. Every Monday morning at 5 AM CST, the GeauxGetter Podcast is becoming your Monday Morning Meeting—a space to pause, reset, get your mind right, and get intentional about what you're doing in your business that week. Because sometimes you don't need another 47 things added to your to-do list. You need to step back, look at the bigger picture, and figure out what actually needs to happen next. And that's exactly what we're talking about in this episode. We're entering a new season—and we're also entering Q4. The digital landscape is changing. Social media is changing. The creator economy is changing. Consumer behavior is changing. And if you're a business owner, you may be feeling some of that pressure. But here's the thing: Change doesn't mean opportunity is gone. It means we may have to change how we're approaching the opportunity. In this episode, we're talking about what it looks like to reset your business, get resourceful, and stop letting everything happening around you dictate how you move forward. We're also talking about the mindset required for this next season and why you can't continue making decisions from a place of overwhelm and expect to build a business that feels sustainable. And then we're getting practical. We're breaking down the four areas I want you thinking about as we move through Q4: → Sales: Do you actually have a plan for hitting your revenue goals? → Content: Is your content actually supporting the growth of your business? → Lead Generation: How are you consistently getting in front of new people? → Systems: Is your business structured to support the growth you're asking for? This season, we're going to talk about all of it. So grab your coffee, open your notebook, and let's get to work. This is our Monday Morning Meeting. Before you move on with your week, take a few minutes to: 1. Set your October revenue goal.What are you trying to generate, and what are you actually selling to reach that number? 2. Evaluate your marketing.Are your current marketing efforts attracting, nurturing, and converting the right people? 3. Identify one thing that needs to change.Not ten things. Just one. What's one decision, system, offer, habit, or strategy you know needs to be different this season? You don't have to have the entire business figured out. You just have to be willing to make more intentional decisions. If you've been listening to this episode thinking, "Okay, I know something needs to change in my business, but I don't even know where to start," this is for you. Our Business Strategy Sessions are designed to help you step outside of the day-to-day and look at your business objectively. We'll look at your current systems, sales and marketing efforts, performance, opportunities, gaps, and where your business may be losing time, money, or potential customers. We'll also look at where you want to take your business next and what needs to happen to get you there. For the entire month of October, get $100 off your Business Strategy Session. Visit HeyEricaSmith.com/strategy and use code FALL when booking. If this episode gave you something to think about, send it to another business owner who needs this conversation. And make sure you're subscribed because I'll meet you right back here next Monday at 5 AM CST for our next Monday Morning Meeting. We're building, we're adjusting, we're getting resourceful—and we're getting to work.
