231: How to Go From Overwhelmed to Highly Efficient and Reclaim Your Life with Kris Ward

Author of Win the Hour, Win the Day

Today’s guest knows how to get attention. In a good way, of course.

She reached out to me recently with her compelling story that included a personalized video she created.

Kris shared with me that she was inspired to write the book when the cards life had dealt forced her team to move forward without her leadership for a time.

The resulting book is called Win the Hour, Win the Day: Time Management for Small Business.

In it, Kris hopes to help teach you how to accelerate your business beyond your wildest dreams while reclaiming time for yourself.

Time management, she says, isn’t about going faster or being in a constant state of high activity. It’s not about being busy; it’s about being productive. Amen!
