Top 7 Tips For an Energetic Business

Continuing on with the DRIVE acronym, guest blogger Angela Wills is going to finish it off by talking about the last letter – E – and energy today. Be sure to read about the other traits of DRIVE -  determination, resilience, initiative and values before going any further!

Moms – there is no doubt we do a lot. Taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning, laundry, taking care of ourselves, loving hubby and the list goes on. Where in the world do we find the energy to run a business too?!

You’ve got to admire the work at home mom who’s got it going on. How does she do it? ENERGY

Today’s DRIVE trait is ENERGY.

DRIVE stands for:
Determination (Monday’s post)
Resilience (Tuesday)
Initiative (Wednesday)
Values (Thursday)
Energy (Today!)

Instead of telling you what energy is and why you need it (I think you know all that – you’re a mom!) I’m going to go straight into my favorite tips for keeping your energy at it’s max while getting as much done s you can in the limited time every human is given per day ;)

Top 7 Tips For an Energetic Business!

7. Do What You LOVE – The easiest way to drain your energy and motivation is do stuff you don’t like. Do what you love and it doesn’t even feel like work.

6. Plan – I know sometimes we like to do so but planning activities on the fly can be a major time and energy drain.

5.Get Organized – An unorganized business takes you far more energy to manage than an organized one.

4. Hire Help – Getting it all done doesn’t have to mean doing it all yourself.

3. Exercise – Your body needs to be pumping blood through those veins to keep you moving along. Exercise is key here.

2. Sleep – Yep, you’ve heard it before. If you need eight hours take them all!

1.Drink Water – Dehydration is a serious energy-drainer. Get your 8 glasses of water a day.

Today’s post was short and sweet on purpose. The one thing I don’t want you to do is read through this DRIVE series and then do nothing! So please, take action. Do one thing now. Even a well thought out five minute activity can pay off for years to come. Use the energy you’ve got right now to transfer to your business – write a blog post, create a great bio, submit a guest blog post, write a great email signature, etc!
