Compost What No Longer Serves Your Business

Nature doesn’t waste anything. Fallen leaves, kitchen scraps, even decay itself—all of it becomes compost, feeding next season’s growth. In business, we have the same opportunity: to take what’s no longer working and transform it into wisdom, clarity, and space for what comes next.

The problem is that we often resist letting go. We cling to offers we’ve outgrown, beliefs that shrink us, or habits that quietly drain our energy. Sometimes it’s fear, sometimes ego, sometimes sunk costs. But if we want fresh growth, we have to clear the soil. Composting is not failure—it’s alchemy.

Think about one offer, habit, or mindset you’re carrying that feels heavy. Maybe it’s a program you dread delivering, or a story that says you’re not ready to raise your rates. Write it down, thank it for what it taught you, and let it go. Burn it safely, bury it in the soil, or tear it into pieces and release it to the wind. What was once dead weight becomes fertilizer for your next harvest.

Every “no” you’ve received, every idea that didn’t work out—they aren’t wasted. They’re feeding your resilience, sharpening your clarity, teaching you how to move differently next time. That’s compost in action.

September is your reminder: you don’t have to carry everything forward. Let go of what no longer serves you. Trust the cycle. The soil will hold it, transform it, and gift it back as nourishment when you need it most.
