A Second Spring

By Joe Templin · October 2, 2026 · 1 min read

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

— Albert Camus

Once Labor Day hits, there seems to be a second wind to everyone’s business

Vacations are done, the air is a little cooler, and the shortening days start to convey an urgency to get the harvest in and business done.

If this is the psychological shift in the waning days of summer, lean into it. Clients that were pushing this off during the halcyon days start to feel a bit of a chill and are more likely to move forward, and to introduce you to others in their world that are starting to feel the same.
