Shownotes

Did you know that in business and life, not every season is meant to be a sprint? 

Sometimes, maintaining is the smartest move you can possibly make. But so many high achievers equate slowing down with falling behind. 

So ask yourself: What if holding steady was actually part of your growth strategy? 

Listen to this episode, where you'll discover whether you're in momentum season or maintenance season. Our host, Diane Rolston, shares why understanding these seasons is crucial for sustainable success and what happens when you push through momentum when you should be in maintenance mode.

Listen to learn these key takeaways:

  • The critical difference between momentum season and maintenance season, and why most business owners don't plan for both
  • Why holding steady is actually part of your growth strategy, not a sign of falling behind
  • Diane's personal story about pushing through a book launch after her father passed, when she should have been in maintenance mode
  • The specific signs that indicate which season you're currently in and why ignoring them can be costly
  • How high achievers often mistake maintenance for failure when it's actually strategic positioning
  • The hidden benefits of intentionally choosing maintenance season instead of constantly sprinting
  • Practical strategies for navigating each season without guilt or pressure to always be "on"
  • How to recognize when it's time to shift from one season to another and what that transition looks like in real life
