I believe that as an entrepreneur we have to look at ourselves and our business holistically. We can't look at one part of our life or one part of our business and go all in on that, we need to look at ourselves as a whole. For a long time I thought that I could have freedom, do whatever I wanted and hope that my business would succeed. Once I started putting some routines in place that benefited me and my business, everything started to flow better. Everything felt calmer, less chaotic, and overall a whole lot better. I wanted to share what I do so that you can take some key points away and implement some routines in your personal and business life and get your business running more structured and with a plan.

In this episode I cover:

• The importance of having the discipline to stick to routines
• How my morning routine sets me up for success every day
• Habit stacking and how to easily apply this to your routines
• Ways that I structure my week with multiple businesses

As business owners, if our focus is all over the place or we're trying to do too many things all at once, we're not going to be successful at doing any one thing. That's why I'm such a big fan of focusing on one thing at a time and doing that one thing really well to produce results. In this episode I’m speaking through the things I'm currently focusing on in all of my businesses. They're quite different from business to business and I'm also going to explain why I chose to focus on these specific things and why they are a priority. I hope this episode helps you understand your priorities and how to work out what areas of your business need the most attention.

In this episode I cover:

• The importance of creating a vision for your business
• Turning your vision into goals that then become actions to focus on
• What I am focusing on in each business to take them to the next level
• How I turned challenges into goals to focus on
