GROWTH PILLAR: Leadership & Ops WHO THIS IS FOR: SMB owners / Solopreneurs / Coaches / Service-based entrepreneurs managing seasonal revenue WHAT THEY'LL GAIN: Practical strategies for summer cash flow, forward-planning frameworks, pipeline mindset shifts, and seasonal business ops that actually hold up. Most entrepreneurs don't lose the fall — they lose it in June. That's the real message from this East Trade Winds Mastermind session. Host Percy Barr brings together six sharp contributors for an unscripted round-table on one of the most common blind spots in small business: the summer slowdown. It's not just about July and August. It's about what you did — or didn't do — in the months before. Wayne Pratt reminds us that months are meaningless. Seasons are not. Build for fall now, while you still have runway. Tony Gyenis shares how forward-visioning — staying one to two years ahead — turns slow seasons into opportunity windows. His story about acquiring warehouse rollers before he knew he needed them is worth the listen alone. Carl Richards points out that a September podcast launch means work starts now. Sixty to ninety days minimum. Waiting until you're back from the cottage is how January becomes April. Noemi Beres confirms the podcasting world never really stops — and that the best booking windows close faster than most people expect. JoJo LaRiccia brings it back to trust. Show up. Keep moving. Life shows up for the people who do. Bernie Franzgrote ties the room together with a runway metaphor that applies to every entrepreneur planning an event, a launch, or a rebrand: the marketing has to breathe before the moment arrives. Percy anchors the whole session with a simple reframe — this is spring. It's the right time to plant. Topics covered: Summer cash flow gaps and how to plan around themWhy reactive entrepreneurs always scramble in fallForward visioning as a daily operational practiceTech disruptions and the hidden cost of ignoring update noticesPipeline psychology — staying confident when leads thin outThe 60–90 day rule for launches, podcasts, and eventsRe-engaging dormant clients before the slowdown hits Connect with our contributors: Percy Barr — canadagrowthnetwork.com | LinkedInWayne Pratt — freshlybrewedcoaching.com | LinkedInTony Gyenis — lovehigherself.com | LinkedInNoemi Beres — podcastconnections.co | LinkedInJoJo LaRiccia — laricciamedia.com | LinkedInCarl Richards — podcastsolutionsmadesimple.com | LinkedInBernie Franzgrote — Kreativ Insight Consultants This episode is brought to you by: @Hive — Real networking for freelancers and growing teams.
