I was recently asked “How did you build Empowered Confidence so fast?” and that question not only took my by surprise but made me crack up because fast would not be the word I would use to describe what this journey has been like. I hope this episode gives you permission to take it slow and allow yourself to not only evolve but make mistakes along the way!

So much love,
Marina

Here are the top 10 productivity hacks for busy entrepreneurs and my spin on each one of them!

1. Prioritize and Delegate: Not every task requires your direct involvement. Prioritize tasks that need your expertise and delegate the rest to competent team members.
2. Automate Processes: Use automation tools for tasks like email responses, social media posts, and regular report generation. It can free up a significant amount of time.
3. Effective Time Management: Use techniques like the Pomodoro technique or time blocking. These methods break your day into dedicated time slots for different tasks, helping to manage your time more effectively.
4. Eliminate Distractions: Use apps that limit your time on distracting websites or social media. Also, create a dedicated workspace that's free from noise and distractions.
5. Set Specific Goals: Use the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) method to define your goals. It helps you stay focused and provides a clear path towards your objectives.
6. Take Care of Your Health: Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and sufficient sleep are crucial for maintaining high productivity levels. A healthy body fosters a healthy mind.
7. Learn to Say "No": Resist the urge to commit to every opportunity that comes your way. Learn to say "no" to tasks or commitments that don't align with your goals.
8. Use Project Management Tools: Tools like Trello, Asana, or Monday.com can help streamline your projects, assign tasks, track progress, and improve overall efficiency.
9. Batch Similar Tasks: Group similar tasks together to streamline your work process. This could mean scheduling all your meetings in one part of the day or handling all administrative tasks at once.
10. Continuous Learning and Improvement: Constantly seek to upgrade your skills and stay updated with the latest trends in your industry. Online courses, webinars, and books can be valuable resources.

Which one will you start first?

Today’s episode is all about how to overcome social anxiety and imposter syndrome when you are networking. I know I’m not the only one that goes to an event but then finds a corner and stays there the whole time I don’t have to speak to anyone! I challenged myself to not do that anymore and I share the things that helped me along the way.

Highlights on social anxiety:

1. Preparation: Familiarize yourself with the event, attendees, or topics of conversation beforehand. This can give you a sense of control and reduce anxiety.
2. Visualization: Visualize yourself successfully navigating the event. This can help build confidence and reduce feelings of anxiety.
3. Mindfulness exercises: Techniques like deep breathing or meditation can help you stay present and focused, reducing feelings of anxiety.
4. Grounding techniques: Find a way to feel connected to the here and now. This might be focusing on the feel of your feet on the ground, or the taste of the drink in your hand.

Highlights on Imposter syndrome:

1. Focus on Skills and Achievements: Remind yourself of your skills, qualifications, and past achievements. They validate that you're competent and deserving. “I belong here”
2. Reframe Failure: Instead of viewing failure as a reflection of your abilities, view it as an opportunity for learning and growth.
3. Mentorship: Hearing that others have been in your shoes can normalize your feelings.
4. Positive Affirmations: Practice positive self-talk and affirmations. Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones can boost your self-esteem and reduce feelings of being a fraud.

Remember, confidence comes with practice. So, start small and give yourself credit for every step you take. We're all learning and growing, and every challenge we face is a chance for us to shine even brighter.
