How to Win the Hour (and Stop Feeling Behind All Day) | Episode 29
Tue Feb 03 2026
Want to stop feeling like you’re always behind—even when you’re working nonstop?
On this episode of Why You Hate Sales, I’m joined by Kris Ward, systems expert and author of Win the Hour, Win the Day.
We talk about everything from the struggles entrepreneurs face behind the scenes to what actually moves the needle in your business—and what quietly drains your time, energy, and momentum.
You’ll love how she challenges the hustle-driven definition of productivity and replaces it with practical, sustainable ways to run your business without burning yourself out.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Why most productivity advice just creates rigidity, not freedom
Smarter ways to think about hiring, even before you feel “ready”
Why doing more is rarely the answer + what to focus on instead
If you’ve been craving more control over your time, clearer priorities, and a business that supports your life instead of consuming it, this episode will help you rethink productivity in a way that actually works—one hour, one decision, one day at a time.
