Can you truly balance the chaos of entrepreneurship with the joyful madness of the holiday season? Join us as we unpack this challenge with our guests Jess Hallahan and Janet Bernstein, who share their ingenious tips for maintaining sanity during the festive rush. From strategic advice on pacing tasks to the delightful suggestion of dancing stress away to holiday tunes, you'll find yourself equipped with new tools for juggling multiple roles. Adding depth to our conversation, Janet, a stellar professional organizer from England, takes us on her inspiring journey from Scarborough to leading Philadelphia's largest organizing team. Her story of transitioning from a dreamer inspired by her father's toy store to a successful entrepreneur is a testament to growth, grit, and holiday cheer.

Dive into the heart of entrepreneurship as we explore building a business from the ground up, highlighted by Janet's transformative shift from hands-on organizing to scaling her operations through delegation and systems. Learn how embracing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) and focusing on personal strengths can catapult a solo endeavor into a thriving team effort. Our discussion underscores the importance of strategic planning and nurturing talent, illustrating how even the most daunting tasks can become manageable with the right approach and vision.

Finally, let's wander into the world of goal setting and global living. Janet enlightens us with her philosophy of tackling one major goal per year, making the overwhelming feel achievable.
