INSIGHT

Seasonality Is A Feature Not A Bug

  • Alex Hormozi argues Matthew’s seasonal swings are normal for categories like lawn care, snow plowing, and pools, so seasonality itself is not the core problem.
  • Matthew’s premium catering peaks September through February, while winter stays profitable despite softer private-event demand and more corporate focus.
ADVICE

Scale Existing Channels Instead Of New Offers

  • Do more of what already works instead of launching a new corporate delivery line just to smooth demand.
  • Matthew already gets most customers from SEO and Google Ads, search still delivers strong lifetime value, and Alex says nothing blocks simply spending more and hiring more.
