That weird quiet week between Christmas and New Year's? It's not for hustling harder — it's for clearing the clutter behind the scenes so January feels calm, clean, and focused. In this episode, I'm walking you through a simple "CEO Reset Week" plan to help you organize your business backend: money, systems, client experience, marketing, sales readiness, and your calendar. You'll leave with a step-by-step checklist you can tackle in 60 minutes, 2 hours, or over 5 days — so you can start the new year ahead instead of scrambling.
