  1. Why Your Business Strategy Should Change With the Season You Are In

    12/23/2025

    Why Your Business Strategy Should Change With the Season You Are In

    Most of us have been taught that business strategy is something fixed. You make a plan, set the goals, and stick to it no matter what. In this gentle yet grounded episode of Soulful Strategies™, Kathleen Amy invites you to see strategy differently, as something that evolves as you do. She explores why your business strategy needs to shift with the literal seasons, the emotional seasons, and the changing seasons of your business, rather than holding you in place when life is asking for something new. Moving through seasons of building, maintenance, and deep rest, Kathleen shares how each one calls for a different approach to planning, capacity, and visibility. Instead of forcing yourself to uphold a plan that no longer fits, she encourages you to meet yourself where you are, honour your energy, and let your strategy become a companion instead of a cage. This is sustainable strategy for soulful business and creative entrepreneurship, rooted in honesty and self-worth, not urgency. Kathleen also shares a simple reflection practice you can return to weekly or seasonally to stay in tune with your current chapter: asking yourself, “What season am I in right now?” From there, you can re-align your goals, boundaries, and support so your business identity and strategy continue to evolve with you, holding you with depth, care, and long-term sustainability.
