Making the Most of Your Time and Energy to Boost Productivity and Create Authenticity with Andrea Ouellette
Andrea helps overworked, underpaid female entrepreneurs preserve their energy + nurture their inspiration so they can grow with ease and add fun into their business. She's the host of The Energetic Entrepreneur Podcast and creator of the 90-Day Inspired Action Plan.
Today Andrea is sharing all of her tips for using your energy to help you run your business - from determining what tasks you should and shouldn't be doing to how to organize your time, from knowing when to invest in paid tools to giving yourself time to step away from the computer. Andrea is here to teach us how to rethink and reevaluate how we are using our energy in our businesses so we can create a more authentic and fun experience for ourselves and our clients.

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.
In today’s episode Andrea shared so many reasons why we should be paying attention to our energy levels and using them to determine how we are spending out time. So I want you to let yourself start paying attention. Listen to yourself and allow yourself to do things that feel good to you and less of the things that don’t.
I give myself permission to listen to your gut and energy levels so you can do more of the things that feel good to you and eliminate the things that don't.
