    Ep. 207 - 5 Daily Habits to Create Work-Life Balance for Busy Entrepreneurs

    Work-life balance is something many of us desire but often struggle to achieve. Over time, many have resigned themselves to the busyness of life, accepting it as the norm. However, the truth is, while work-life balance is simple to define, it can be mentally and emotionally challenging to implement. In this episode, we explore two key factors for achieving balance: 1) Defining what work-life balance truly means for you and your spouse, and 2) Making intentional, daily choices to support that vision. We also share our own daily habits that help us maintain balance, even when life and business get hectic. Tune in to learn practical strategies to create and sustain the work-life harmony you've been seeking. Want to live a better balanced life and win in marriage AND business at the same time?

    Ep. 203 - The Business Benefits of Procrastination

    Procrastination can have benefits in business if reframed and used strategically. It is often driven by fear of failure or the desire for perfection. However, when we finally take action, we often realize that the process wasn't as bad as we imagined.  Procrastination can also provide a learning period and allow for improvements to be made before launching a product or service. It can also be an opportunity for a relaunch, bringing new energy and updates to a project.  In this episode, we share our own experience of procrastination and how we turned it into an advantage for our business.  Want to live a better balanced life and win in marriage AND business at the same time?

It’s all about taking control of your health that will make you perform better, think better, sell better, and lead better. Who doesn’t want that? But don’t worry, we’re not going to try and persuade to take on the newest diet and exercise fad that won’t last.

Something that you can make as a way of life that feels natural to you.  This week's guests Justin Roethlingshoefer and Alyse Gaulin share some highly practical ways that we can live a healthier life without being a gym rat and count every calorie.

The health scare at 29 while he was a performance coach for the NHL.  4 pillars of ownership Fuel Build Renew Repair Total health relies on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health You can be physically fit but if the other 75% of your health isn’t doing well, stress builds up and your body will break down.  Even things that are good for you like exercise can be a cause of unnecessary stress. Ultimately, stress is what you want to reduce.  Many entrepreneurs love what they are doing. That’s why they can work all day, all night. Until their body says, “no more.” Justin's Roethlingshoefer Bio After completing his MS in Sports Performance and Human Biology, Justin sought out post-graduate work in functional medicine.

He’s also the creator of the Own It App, which provides simple data collection, meaningful insights, and personalized plans to help users OWN their habits and improve recovery, health, and performance.

He’s the host of the Sports Science and Recovery Podcast and The Own It Show and the author of a number of books including his most recent bestseller “The Power of Ownership: Redeem Your Health, Live Life by Design and Break the Relentless Pursuit of Normal” Alyse Gaulin's Bio As CEO of Own It Coaching, Alyse Gaulin comes with a wealth of experience after helping grow multi-billion dollar corporations in the retail industry, and most recently as an executive at Christian Louboutin.
