Jacqueline Snyder argues you should double down during busy seasons instead of easing off. She uses repeatable systems and step-by-step strategies to expand capacity, comparing it to how NFL professionals stay fully engaged rather than backing away when things get intense.
People say, well, this is my busy season. I'm going to wait till after my busy season. But what happens is it's an entire year. Like the NFL, right? Yeah. They train all season, but when it's their season, you know, they are in it. Like, they are all the way in it. They're not lightening up on their coaches. They're not lightening up on their growth. They're not like, you know what? I'm going to actually ease off now because I'm in my busy season. I was like, no, no, we doubled down. We go deep. And I. What I want everyone to think about is, like, how do I keep expanding my plate, and how do I expand and expand more? What happens, I think, is people get overwhelmed. They're like, I have so much to do. I'm so overwhelmed. But the reason that you're so overwhelmed is because you don't have exactly what you said. A system, a repeatable system, a strategy, guidelines to follow, coaches that are just like, hey, follow step one, two, three. And then you do it in that container. Where the overwhelm comes is when you're like, I'm doing all by myself. And then it's like, you're just flailing, flailing during the busy season, hoping something sticks instead of really going like, all right, how do I get so laser.
