Welcome back to the podcast, and to our second season! Today we wanted to kick things off by exploring the concept of starting successfully, which would appear appropriate for a new season of the show! So, what does it mean to start successfully? The obvious place to begin is in the morning, and we talk about how a morning routine can set you up for success during the rest of the day. From exercise to intentional action and maintaining a steady routine, these things can have a huge impact on the rest of your time. We also then get into some ideas around schedules and calendars, how meetings can be conducted in the most effective way, and why building a strong and collaborative network around you can be such a helpful resource. One of the main themes of today's episode, and moving forward in this season, is how we invest our time. We are in the process of reframing our thinking about this sort of intentional approach, and how we can track the results, so to hear it all and come with us on this new part of our journey, tune in today!
