THE LONG-HAUL LEADER

Chris Ducker

Ten Strategies to Work Smarter, Live Better, and Achieve Lasting Success

"A wake-up call" (Michael Port, New York Times bestselling author of Steal the Show) to build a meaningful life and career without burning out

Hustle is a season, not a lifestyle. As a business leader, you can burn massive amounts of energy building teams, setting up systems, creating products, selling, and fighting for growth. It takes hard work to get where you want to go. But eventually, that's not enough. Hustle can get you started but won't lead to sustained success. Serial entrepreneur Chris Ducker learned this the hard way. To avoid burnout, you must be intentional about how you integrate meaningful work, quality time with family and friends, personal well-being, and hobbies. In The Long-Haul Leader, he offers a set of practical principles for business leaders to reclaim their time, refocus on priorities, and restore important relationships. Written from the perspective of someone who has been through it all more than once, this book offers relatable and down-to-earth advice for readers looking for true and lasting transformation.

Chris Ducker is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of Youpreneur.com, a leading personal brand business education company. He is the author of Virtual Freedom and Rise of the Youpreneur. He spends most of his time coaching business leaders and lives with his family in Cambridgeshire, England.
