The Six-Week Reset: How I’m Reclaiming My Energy, Focus, and Leadership Before Year-End

Here’s the truth: lately, I haven’t been walking my talk.

Somewhere between managing clients, projects, family, and about a hundred open tabs in my brain… I dropped the ball.
The morning routine slipped. Gratitude journal? Gathering dust. Walks turned into “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Weight training? Haven’t touched a dumbbell in weeks...or months. And my nutrition? Let’s just say snacking while replying to emails with a glass of wine in hand has become a little too familiar.

(Full disclosure: that’s literally what I’m doing right now as I write this.)

And here’s the kicker: I’m the one telling my clients to build healthy routines, protect their mornings, take care of their mind, body, and soul. I talk about boundaries, focus, mindset and energy management… while simultaneously pushing my own wellbeing to the bottom of the list.

Sound familiar?

Because when you’re ambitious, driven, and building something meaningful, it’s so easy to slide into that overworked, under-fueled, slightly frazzled zone. You keep pushing, telling yourself it’s “just a busy week,” but before you know it, your back hurts, you’ve put on weight, and you’re wondering where your spark went.

Well, enough is enough.

There are around six weeks left until Christmas holidays, and I’m making a decision: I’m going to finish strong. In business and in life.

Because as Jim Rohn famously said “Work harder on yourself than you do on your business.”

The truth is, no matter how strong your systems, how clever your strategy, or how polished your branding, your business will never outgrow your leadership. And leadership starts with how you manage you: your mindset, your energy, your priorities, and discipline.

And no, this isn’t about squeezing in a spa day. This is a leadership reset: a full recalibration of how I show up for myself, my clients, and my family.

So here’s how I’m realigning, not just to get more done, but to lead better.

My “Full Reset” Action List:

-       Have the uncomfortable conversations.
Avoiding hard talks drains more energy than having them. Leadership means facing what’s not working, in your business, your team, or your habits; and handling it with courage and clarity.

-       Delegate smarter. Embrace “Who Not How.”
Stop trying to do it all. Ask who can help instead of how you can cram more in. Get the right people around you so you can focus on what actually moves the needle.

-       Prioritise using the 80/20 rule.
Eighty percent of your results come from twenty percent of your actions. Identify your high-value tasks, the ones that drive profit, growth, and fulfillment; and do those first. Everything else can wait, be delegated, or deleted.

-       Leverage tools and systems.
Automation and structure aren’t boring. They’re freedom. Use systems that save your brainpower for strategy, creativity, and leadership.

-       Set up my default diary and block focus time.
If it’s not scheduled, it won’t happen. I’m carving out blocks for deep work, planning, and recovery; because leadership requires presence, not chaos.

-       Keep my mindset focused and positive.
Your mind is your greatest asset. If you think you can’t do it, you won’t. If you think you don’t have time, you’ll prove yourself right. So guard your thoughts as fiercely as your calendar.

-       Take care of my body and energy.
Move, fuel, breathe. Strength is energy, and energy drives everything: focus, clarity, decision-making, and creativity.

Because prosperity starts with how you lead yourself.

The Bottom Line

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s leadership.

Because when I take care of myself, I lead better. I think sharper. I show up stronger, for my clients, my business, and my family.

So here’s my commitment for the next six weeks: to lead myself first.
To walk my talk.
To embody what I teach, even when it’s inconvenient. Especially when it’s inconvenient.

Now it’s your turn: what’s your version of a reset?
What’s the one thing you’ve been putting off that would completely change how you show up?

Let’s finish strong: with energy, purpose, and leadership that starts from within.
