When you first start your business, finding the right schedule can be hard. Especially since the "9-5" schedule is engrained in us from an early age. On this episode I share my journey of letting go of the idea that I needed to work a traditional schedule so I could find the schedule that worked for me, my rhythm, and my business.

In today's episode:

• Why we think we need to follow a traditional schedule

• How to figure out what schedule might work for you

• Little ways to start letting go of the “9-5 schedule”

Today's Permission Slip:

Each episode I give you a permission slip - a reminder to give yourself permission to run your business and live your dream life on your own terms.

Today I want you to give yourself permission to pay attention to your energy levels, to when you are most productive and creative throughout the day, and try a new schedule that honors those so you can finally have a work schedule that works for you and boosts your productivity and creativity instead of hindering it.

I give myself permission to make a work schedule that honors my energy levels and productivity.
