You CAN get everything done, but NOT all at the sa You CAN get everything done, but NOT all at the same time. Want to know my secret for getting it all done? I schedule EVERYTHING!! 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m not kidding when I say I’m a stress-free business owner AND happier human being because I schedule EVERYTHING!! 👩🏼‍💻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No, but really!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ I plan and schedule ALL THE THINGS so I know I will have TIME for everything. ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overwhelming my day, my time, and myself is NOT an option for me (because it only leads to stress and burnout and I’ve been there, done that, got the pink t-shirt souvenir to remind myself that I don’t EVER want to go back to that). 🙅🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I plan my weeks on Sundays and I plan my days the night before. I schedule in time for my morning and evening routines, my meals, my workouts, when I do laundry, when I check my email and scroll social media, when I clean, when I work, rest, and even play. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And guess what?! Scheduling all of these things into my days and weeks means they actually get DONE *without* feelings of stress or overwhelm!! 🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 I’m dying to know: Do you plan and schedule all the things or do you go with the flow and wing everything? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #onlineserviceprovider #onlinebusinessowner #womanceo #virtualbusiness #workfromwifi #freedombasedbusiness #freelancelife #ceomindest #smallandmightybusiness #createalifeyoulove #empowerher #takecontrolofyourlife #womenwithaplan #ambitiouswomen #womenlead #womeninbusiness #careercontessa #createcultivate #girlsonfire #solopreneursociety #elevatecultivate #hustlewithease #smallbizsquad #workfromhomejob #solopreneurlife #savvybusinessowner #dreamersanddoers #beyourownboss #selfemployedlife #theimperfectboss
You can’t jump into more than one pool at a time You can’t jump into more than one pool at a time so WHY are you trying to bring 10 different ideas to life in your business?! 🤯 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overwhelm is a big (like HUGE) pain point for us entrepreneurs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are constantly thinking of new ideas, wanting to try new things, implement this or that, take on one more client, start one more project, and do ALL the things!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But here’s the truth… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ YOU CAN’T JUMP INTO MULTIPLE POOLS AT THE SAME TIME ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me back up a second… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Imagine you’re on vacation at a beautiful resort with 5 different pools: one has a lazy river, one has slides, one has a swim up bar, one has a fountain, and one looks like a grotto. You only have a few days and you really want to try them ALL!! 💦 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But guess what?? You can’t jump into them all at once!! You have to go to each one individually (and preferably spend a little time there so you can truly enjoy it)!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 The same is true for your business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to know WHY you’re overwhelmed, it’s because you’re trying to jump into TOO MANY pools at once, or in this case, do TOO MANY things at once. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stop that!! 🙅🏼‍♀️ Start with one. ☝🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁉️ What's ONE thing you're focusing on right now? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #onlineserviceprovider #onlinebusinessowner #womanceo #virtualbusiness #workfromwifi #freedombasedbusiness #freelancelife #ceomindest #smallandmightybusiness #createalifeyoulove #empowerher #takecontrolofyourlife #womenwithaplan #ambitiouswomen #womenlead #womeninbusiness #careercontessa #createcultivate #girlsonfire #solopreneursociety #elevatecultivate #hustlewithease #smallbizsquad #workfromhomejob #solopreneurlife #savvybusinessowner #dreamersanddoers #beyourownboss #selfemployedlife #theimperfectboss
It's been five years since my traumatic collapse. It's been five years since my traumatic collapse. Five years since the gut-wrenching pain I had been experiencing for more than 2 years hit the red zone. Five years since I thought I was going to die on my bathroom floor. Five years since I birthed a blood clot 3x the size of an adult male fist (the biggest the ER had ever seen). Five years since every single person in the hospital knew my name. Five years since my hemoglobin levels dropped below 4.5. Five years since a multiple night stay in the hospital, emergency surgery, and a blood transfusion. Five years since being told the MRI didn’t show us everything, the fibroid in your uterus caused massive internal bleeding, and you almost died. In many ways, it feels like it happened yesterday, and yet, it's been 1,825 days since then. There are parts of the trauma I remember perfectly and parts I don’t remember at all. 💛 One thing that I am constantly reminded of though, even more so after the last few days of my dad being in the hospital (he’s ok, he’s home) is how important it is to FIGHT and ADVOCATE for yourself. To ASK QUESTIONS and PUSH BACK when something doesn’t sound right or feel right. And if you can’t do these things for yourself, you need to find someone who will do it FOR YOU. 💛 It is not ok for symptoms to be ignored. It is not ok to throw drugs at something without getting to the root cause. It is not ok to give a diagnosis without running all the tests and exhausting all possibilities. It is not ok for questions to go unanswered. We shouldn’t have to fight it, but our healthcare system is broken, and so we must. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #patientadvocate #advocatelikeamother #advocateforyourself #endometriosis #livingwithendometriosis #invisibleillness #endometriosisawareness #endowarrior #endosissters #thisisendometriosis #womenshealth #endometriosissupport #butyoudontlooksick #chronicpain #chronicillness #endosucks #endostrong #fibroids #chronicinflammation

SIMPLIFY EVERYTHING so you know you won’t w a s SIMPLIFY EVERYTHING so you know you won’t w a s t e t i m e on anything!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why is this ONE of my FOUR life and business mottos?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because I HATE wasting time. And often times we w a s t e t i m e when something in our life or business is complicated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 When something like a system or routine (or anything really) is complicated, you either won’t want to do it, will have a hard time doing it, or it’ll take you a long ass time to do it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ And life is just too short and your business too important to w a s t e t i m e on things that are complicated!! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which is why, you SIMPLIFY IT!! 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To me, simplifying makes the whole notion of working smarter instead of harder infinitely more possible!! Because when things are super simple, you become super effective!! 🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁉️ Before you go, tell me: What’s one area of your life or business that is already simplified OR that you wish was simplified?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #onlineserviceprovider #onlinebusinessowner #womanceo #virtualbusiness #workfromwifi #freedombasedbusiness #freelancelife #ceomindest #smallandmightybusiness #createalifeyoulove #empowerher #takecontrolofyourlife #womenwithaplan #ambitiouswomen #womenlead #womeninbusiness #careercontessa #createcultivate #girlsonfire #solopreneursociety #elevatecultivate #hustlewithease #smallbizsquad #workfromhomejob #solopreneurlife #savvybusinessowner #dreamersanddoers #beyourownboss #selfemployedlife #theimperfectboss
If I had a nickel for every time someone was SHOCK If I had a nickel for every time someone was SHOCKED to find out I’m a solopreneur… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s true though!! 👩🏼‍💻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t have a team or a VA working with me behind-the-scenes!! My office mates all have four legs and fur!! It really is just me, myself, and I over here!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (Or should I say me, myself, and Asana 😉) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “So, how do you do it?” is usually the question that follows the shock. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m not a unicorn, guys!! 🦄 I don’t have magical productivity superpowers. ✨ I don’t drink an insane amount of coffee. ☕️ And I get plenty of sleep!! 😴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The secret behind my success and productivity is really quite simple: systems, routines, and schedules!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to learn more about how I use these things in my day-to-day life and business, then stay tuned!! I’ve got LOTS in store for you!! 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you have any specific questions or topics you’d like me to cover, leave them in the comments!! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 by @jamiebannon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #onlineserviceprovider #onlinebusinessowner #womanceo #virtualbusiness #workfromwifi #freedombasedbusiness #freelancelife #ceomindest #smallandmightybusiness #createalifeyoulove #empowerher #takecontrolofyourlife #womenwithaplan #ambitiouswomen #womenlead #womeninbusiness #careercontessa #createcultivate #girlsonfire #solopreneursociety #elevatecultivate #hustlewithease #smallbizsquad #workfromhomejob #solopreneurlife #savvybusinessowner #dreamersanddoers #beyourownboss #selfemployedlife #theimperfectboss

You need a WHY behind everything you do. 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hear me out… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can up and decide to do ANYTHING you want ANYTIME you want. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But without a strong WHY behind the thing, you’ll find it hard to stay consistent. 😔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Knowing WHY you want to do something is the BACKBONE of your motivation to keep going on the days you kinda, maybe, don’t really want to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which means your WHY has to be stronger than any BS excuse!! 💪🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For example: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to my severe endometriosis, my body is very much out of my control at times. I had 5 flare ups throughout the month of April and beginning of May that brought me to my knees. 🥺 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They weren’t different than other flare ups I’ve had in the past, but having 5 in a row like that made me mad. 😡 The side effects from the medication I’m on make me equally mad. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I did a whole bunch of research over vacation and am now actively taking NEW steps, MORE steps, and BETTER steps to take back control of my body and take better CARE of my body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, if you’ve been wondering where this whole Fitbit step 👣 thing came from… THIS is where and it’s just the beginning!! 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #endowarrior #endometriosis #invisibleillnesswarrior #pelvicpain #healthyhormones #hormonehealth #femalehealth #chronicpainawareness #endosisters #chronicinflammation #womenshealth #thisisendometriosis #invisibleillness #endolife #endometriosissucks #1in10 #endostrong #endometriosissucks #endometriosiswarrior #endolife #endometriosisawareness #endosisters #butyoudontlooksick #theimperfectboss #selfcarejourney #selfcarematters #selfcarefirst #selfcareisntselfish #wellbeingwarrior #selfloveisthebestlove❤️
NEWSFLASH: Your inbox doesn’t have to be a total NEWSFLASH: Your inbox doesn’t have to be a total time-suck on vacation/this summer!! 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know the email inbox is the bane of existence for many female entrepreneurs, an endless black hole for others, a procrastination playground for even more, and a general time suck for all. 🙅🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But while many dread opening their email inboxes, whether they’re on vacation or not, email is an ESSENTIAL part of every business and should be tended to on a DAILY basis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But you definitely DON’T want to be TIED TO IT while you’re on vacation!! I know I don’t!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (At least, not anymore… keep reading for that fun story!! 😜) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over on the blog, I’m sharing the quickest and easiest ways to manage email on vacation as a solopreneur (aka someone who doesn’t have a VA that can manage their inbox while they’re away)!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Including… 👉🏻 the SIX things you should do BEFORE you leave 👉🏻 the ONE thing you should NEVER do 👉🏻 and the EXACT email autoresponder I use!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll link it up for you in my stories!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁉️ P.S. I’ve been managing an email inbox with 4 email addresses (3 business and 1 personal) for 11 years now. And I’d like to think I’ve learned a thing or two along the way!! I’m a huge fan of inbox zero and reach it multiple times a week, almost every single day.

DID YOU KNOW … MY MOM DESIGNED MY LOGO?! 👇🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I worked with a sweet friend and graphic designer on The Productivity Zone brand and remember (VIVIDLY 🙈) how much time we spent going back and forth on the logo. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m pretty sure she thought I’d been possessed by Goldilocks because NOTHING she sent over was juuussst right. 🤷🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember venting to my mom about how I’d NEVER have a logo I loved (dramatic much?!), when she pulled out a piece of paper and a couple of Sharpie markers and drew this beauty. 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I sent the drawing to my friend the second she was finished and waited for her to work her magic and send it back. 💌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The moment I saw it, I knew it was perfect!! I loved EVERYTHING about it!! The bold black font, the pops of hot pink, and the checkmark in place of the v!! 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5 years later, I still love my logo today as much as I did that day and doubt I’ll EVER change it!! ✔️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks, mom!! 🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 Do you have a fun/funny/memorable story about the creation of your brand or logo? I’d love to hear it!! 👩🏼‍💻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. I can’t believe The Productivity Zone turns 5 today!!! 🤩🥂🎉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #smallbizowners #femaleentrepreneurlifestyle #solopreneurlife #intentionalbusiness #businessbydesign #designisinthedetails #hustlewithease #dreamersanddoers #9tothrive #buildabetterbrand #createcultivate #dontquityourdaydream #womanceo #bossbabesociete #thisgirlmeansbusiness #herbusiness #workfromhomelife #virtualbusiness #freedombasedbusiness #freelancelife #ceomindest #smallandmightybusiness #empowerher #womeninbusiness #careercontessa #girlsonfire #solopreneursociety #smallbizsquad #savvybusinessowner #theimperfectboss
Journaling, breath work, gratitude lists, and affi Journaling, breath work, gratitude lists, and affirmations, OH MY!! 🤯 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s a lot, isn’t it?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I thought so, too!! Which is why I SIMPLIFIED it!! (It’s what I do 💁🏼‍♀️) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have this exact affirmation plugged into the reminders app on my phone!! It pops up as a reminder every day at 9am. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When it does, I take a minute to read it out loud or to myself, then close my eyes, and take 5 deep, belly-busting breaths. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And THAT’S IT!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Quick, simple, and easy!! 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Things are only complicated if you make them so. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. For the record, I don’t journal. I tried. My hand cramped. I wanted my time back. I stopped. Just because everyone’s talking about it and the “experts” say it’s a MUST do, doesn’t mean you HAVE to do it!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ YOU DO YOU!! 🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #onlineserviceprovider #onlinebusinessowner #womanceo #virtualbusiness #workfromwifi #freedombasedbusiness #freelancelife #ceomindest #smallandmightybusiness #createalifeyoulove #empowerher #takecontrolofyourlife #womenwithaplan #ambitiouswomen #womenlead #womeninbusiness #careercontessa #createcultivate #girlsonfire #solopreneursociety #elevatecultivate #hustlewithease #smallbizsquad #workfromhomejob #solopreneurlife #savvybusinessowner #dreamersanddoers #beyourownboss #selfemployedlife #theimperfectboss
Ready for this EPIC out of office FAIL?! 🤦🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My normal blogging routine is to design the graphics, write the post, and get it into WordPress a week before the publishing date… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Good for me!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I usually publish blog posts on Wednesdays. So on Tuesdays, I go back into the post to read through it again, check for spelling, grammar, or link errors, and then schedule it… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Great!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The problem is 👉🏻 I’m on vacation and the wi-fi SUCKS!! I can barely check my email, and only in the early morning, and only if I sit on the porch and position my laptop a certain way 🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (I had to bring my iPad up to Starbucks to download the books I wanted to read… and I was able to finish a grande pink drink while I was waiting!! 😜) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think the resort throttles the wi-fi ON PURPOSE to encourage people to get OFF their devices, unplug, and ENJOY their vacation!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So that’s EXACTLY what I’ve been doing and will continue doing until we fly back on Friday!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All this to say, I’m living my best life on vacay!! But also laughing and learning still every day!! 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lessworkmorelife #outofoffice #keepsocialmediasocial #femalentrepreneur #creativebiz #womenwhodobusiness #dreamersanddoers #laptoplife #theimperfectboss #womenwinning #hersuccess #solopreneurship #creativeentrepreneur #solopreneursociety #solopreneurcoach #solopreneursuccess #freelancelife #workforyourself #solopreneur #bossbabesociete #beyourownboss #bizownerlife #onlinebizowner #laptoplifestyle #workingmomlife #ceoofmylife #womeninbusiness #savvybusinessowner #communityovercompetition #creativeatheart
