EP | 708 - This Is Hard: The CEO Mindset for Slow Months and Heavy Responsibility

If your show rate drops, your close rate dips, and your calendar starts looking like a ghost town, I need you to hear me.

That does not automatically mean your business is broken.

Sometimes your business is fine.

Your nervous system is just screaming that it is not.

And if you are a business owner responsible for other people's livelihoods, that pressure hits different. It is heavy. It can feel personal. It can feel like you are failing, even when you are not.

So today, I want to talk about the CEO mindset for slow months, weird months, December months, and any season where you are doing all the right things and results still feel… off.

Because this is hard. And hard does not mean wrong.
