Career Entrepreneur Holiday Survive and Thrive Guide (Audio)

As an entrepreneur, the winter holidays can be a sense of hope and inspiration or tension and stress. It’s very much a push-pull of having to work, wanting to use downtime, and also wanting and/or needing to take part in activities that can refuel you in your work. Whatever your plans, hopes, goals, needs or expectations, this session will give you the tools to survive and thrive as you optimize December (and any time you want to take time off), set yourself up for success next year, and make peace with your choices.

During this 2-hour call we discuss the following topics in detail, with strategies and steps for your success:

Scheduling and Planning:

How your colleagues plan to spend their holidays and what box you may be falling into.
Strategies to figure out your schedule now and year-round: utilize different scheduling strategies, plan for holiday business responsibilities, find the time you never seem to have to get things done, clearly understand the differences between have-tos vs. want-tos, and bounce back when things don’t go as planned.
Ways to create clear boundaries and expectations with your clients year-round and especially when you are planning to take time off.
