Most business leaders aren’t overwhelmed because they have too much to do. They’re overwhelmed because they’re doing too many things that don’t actually matter.

In this episode of Monday Morning Mojo, Anna shares the one question that cuts through the noise, simplifies decisions, and helps you realign your time, energy, and focus as you head into a new year. If you’re entering the new year with big goals, quiet determination, and a desire to do things differently this time, this episode will help you simplify your decisions and lead with intention.

Listen to this episode before your next meeting, email, or commitment to get the question you’ll want to ask yourself first.
