A Refreshing Blueprint for Sustainable Success
Long Haul Leader is the reminder every entrepreneur needs: hustle is for a season, not a lifestyle. Chris Ducker shows how to avoid burnout by setting the right pace, only sprinting when necessary, and making sure your schedule reflects your true values.
I especially love his focus on clarity—knowing your intentions, non-negotiables, and what you’re willing to give up to achieve them. The book also highlights the power of hobbies to recharge, and the importance of prioritizing health and meaningful relationships over the constant pull of the urgent.
If you want to lead with purpose and sustainability, this book is a must-read.
