The Q4 Crash is Real
15:02
 

Hello and welcome to Episode 296 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

As the year winds down, things often ramp up for business owners, and it’s no wonder Q4 burnout is real.

In this episode, we’re talking about that end-of-year exhaustion, what causes it, how it shows up in you and your team, and what you can do to avoid limping toward the Christmas shutdown. Whether you're feeling flat yourself or seeing signs your team is running on fumes, this episode will help you reset and finish the year strong, without burning out.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

  • Why Q4 burnout happens, and why it’s so common in small businesses
  • The subtle signs that you or your team might be close to burnout
  • Simple, practical ways to re-energise your team and yourself
  • Why now is the time to reduce pressure, not pile more on
  • How to end the year on a high note (without needing to sprint)
