Plan your day

“I always start the day with lemon water and honey, followed by a light breakfast. Then, I will fit in exercise depending on how much time I have for the day. I’m always more energetic and focused after a workout session, so try to work out earlier in the day if you’re like me. After that, I’ll go through the list of things I need to accomplish for the day. Sometimes, it can be a busy day packed with meetings, workshops, events and shoots, or it can be a day where I film or edit my videos. Since I work for myself, it’s so important for me to set my daily and long-term goals in order to grow my business and constantly stay inspired.”
