Key Takeaways for Female Entrepreneurs Growing Their Business:
- The brain loves when tasks are finished. If you leave a task unfinished, the brain is more likely to create stress/panic around those tasks. Neuroscience-based Solution: Break the tasks down into smaller, more achievable tasks and/or write down what you have to finish.
- Letting go of the reins doesn’t always come naturally to women entrepreneurs, but you really do need to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others. Let your employees troubleshoot by themselves before jumping in to help.
- To get into a flow state more often at work, try reducing your work hours by 25% (Hello, 4-day work week!).
- Respect the blocks you put in your calendar(s). Treat them as client calls that you can’t ignore.
- Take time to recharge every day. Bonus points if you use that time to do something you LOVE!
