Do you need to sacrifice sleep (and health) in order to grow a business? That's a question that I recently heard in a group of small business owners and I totally stopped in my tracks. Sometimes the entrepreneurial journey is a long, tiring and lonely road. Not to mention the world has convinced small business owners that in order to succeed we have to hustle and run on caffeine and a prayer to keep going. BUT, that's not what you should do, friend! That'll lead you straight into burnout.

In this week's episode of the podcast, I'm sharing some helpful tips on how to set boundaries and reclaim your peace this holiday season. Here are some of the ways I've used to keep myself focused and avoid burn-out:

• The importance of setting aside time – specifically time where you'll have the most focus.
• Tackling the "right" to-do list.
• Turn off distractions.
• Give yourself grace.
