This episode was originally recorded heading into the holiday season, but the truth is, every entrepreneur has her version of this stretch — the time of year (or the launch, or the project deadline) when the calendar suddenly feels tighter than the goals you set. The risk in those moments is the same: you either grind through and lose the joy, or you protect the joy and watch the goals slip.

In this solo episode, I walk you through five tactical things I do to stay focused through high-pressure periods without burning out the parts of life that actually make the work worth doing. They work for the holidays. They work for end-of-quarter pushes. They work any time the to-do list and the calendar are at war.

If you're heading into a season — any season — where you need to keep your foot on the gas without losing yourself in the process, this is the conversation to listen to.

This episode originally aired on Hitting Rock Middle, the show that has since evolved into The Sallie Ogden Show.

About the show:

The Sallie Ogden Show is for the woman who's already built something — and is stuck at the plateau where the old playbook stops working. Tactical when you need a number. Honest when you need a mirror. Hosted by former lawyer turned consultant Sallie Ogden.
