You already know that building a business is a marathon, not a sprint—but how do you keep running when the finish line keeps moving? In this week’s Business Brain, Shannon Jean and Dave Hamilton dive into the concept of Motivational Endurance, sharing ways to recharge your entrepreneurial drive and find joy in the daily grind. From creating a “To Did” list that celebrates small wins to finding multiple sources of motivation, you’ll learn how to build habits that fuel long-term success and keep your energy high even when your excitement dips.

You’ll also discover why mentoring others (even accidentally) might be the secret to staying inspired and how defining your Noble Cause keeps you aligned through setbacks. When you stack truth with creativity and discipline with purpose, business stops feeling like a struggle—and starts looking like your version of a Charmed Life.
