In this episode of “Entrepreneur Money Stories”, Danielle is joined by Tanessa, a health consultant for 6- and 7-figure earners and host of The Becoming Limitless Podcast, to discuss different strategies to heighten your energy and focus to bring success to your business. As business owners, we get so passionate about our craft and hustle that sometimes it can lead to overwork, lack of concentration or energy, and even burnout, neglecting the greatest asset our business has—our mind. Tanessa empathizes that sleep is not something to take lightly but a critical step in setting your brain to function at its full potential and how good-quality sleep can boost your creativity, problem-solving skills, divergent thinking, and productivity. She shares how to best set up your bedtime routine, which foods to eat and which to avoid, as well as tools to help us improve our energy and become more productive and successful business owners.
