English term or phrase: I don’t know how you do it a year out

It’s a study case about a hotel and a manager of the company that builds the hotels, talks about the manager of one of the hotels they’re about to open. The whole text, apart from a little background, tells the story of this new opening and the challenges it involved.

The paragraph says:

I’ve got to tell you that I love James. He’s just fabulous. He’s successfully opened many hotels. But a year from now? We’ll have done it for 365 days, and the edge will be off a little bit. The problem in the hotel business is that you have to fill it in every single day. So somehow you have to put your game face on and be 99% every single day. But even then, that means you’re ticking off a customer every single day. I don’t know how you do it a year out, two years out, five years out. I don’t know how you keep it sharp. And that’s the trick.
