Entrepreneurs and business leaders are adopting power naps lasting 10 to 30 minutes to improve alertness, memory, and mood without causing grogginess. Experts recommend scheduling naps in the early afternoon, creating quiet environments, and setting alarms to maximize benefits. Research indicates short naps can enhance problem-solving, creativity, and stress management, but they should supplement, not replace, seven to nine hours of nightly sleep. Companies are increasingly providing nap spaces as attitudes shift to recognize rest as a productivity tool.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

They also unpack the ethics of creation vs. imitation, the power of collaboration, and how to know when it's time to walk away.

Stepping away from the corporate world into entrepreneurship isn't just about changing careers—it's about transforming your identity, mindset, and relationship with work. In this candid conversation with Deb Boulanger, CEO of Life After Corporate, we explore the often challenging but deeply rewarding journey that high-achieving women navigate when launching their own businesses.Deb shares her personal transition story, from teaching to corporate leadership to founding her own company, revealing that the entrepreneurial path proved more difficult than anticipated. She explains how the identity shift from having preset calendars and clear expectations to designing your own business requires mastering not just strategy, but your internal dialogue. We dig into the psychological barriers that hold women back—particularly around pricing and self-worth—uncovering the startling reality that women entrepreneurs earn just 30 cents to the dollar compared to their male counterparts.Financial considerations take center stage as Deb recommends having at least a year's cushion before making the leap, while noting that expenses typically decrease after leaving corporate life. For women caught between staying in corporate or launching a business, she emphasizes the importance of making a clear decision rather than vacillating, as "the universe can't deliver on a split desire."The conversation moves beyond the misleading image of entrepreneurship portrayed on social media to address practical matters like work-life "blend," the critical importance of networking, and how to approach business development. Deb's advice culminates in encouraging women to trust their intuition—what she calls "the niggle"—and to price based on the transformation they deliver rather than trying to be merely affordable.Whether you're contemplating leaving corporate, have recently been laid off, or are already building your business, this episode offers honest insights to help you navigate your journey with greater confidence and clarity.

This conversation will show you how.Learn more about AnitaB.org Support the showWhen you subscribe to the podcast, you are supporting our work's mission, allowing us to continue highlighting successful women in a variety of careers to inspire others helping pay our wonderful editor, Chris, and helping me in paying our hosting expenses.

Mike Jackness and Aymeric catch up on their e-commerce journey as friends and talk about how timing and luck are so important in entrepreneurial success. Success is always a mix of luck, tenacity, and grit.  It takes a bit of luck to be in the right place at the right time and some grit to keep going when things aren't as profitable as they used to. At the same time, success also involves balancing between trying new things and focusing on what works.  Knowing when to zone in on the one thing or when to test the waters only comes with experience and time.  My good buddy Aymeric who's been a friend of mine is on the podcast today to talk exactly about what it takes to be successful as an entrepreneur.  We've both had our fair share of successful and failed ventures, but that didn't stop us from trying and moving forward.  If you're a business owner looking at the tariffs right now and thinking about moving out of e-commerce, this episode might be eye opening for you. In the end, the choice is yours to make.  Aymeric, thanks for joining us on the podcast today!  If you'd like to outsource some work and get your social life back together, check out the VA Placement service he offers here.

Join me for an inspiring conversation with my soul sister and fellow Brazilian, Janete Teixeira Parente, as she shares her incredible journey from a small town in South Brazil to becoming a successful business owner in New Jersey. What began as a one-year language-learning trip turned into a permanent move to the U.S., thanks to a series of unexpected opportunities. Listen in as Janete recounts her path from working on a farm as a teenager to meeting a supportive family of doctors who offered her a job, leading her to shift her career focus and eventually establish her own business. Her entrepreneurial spirit shines through, and her story, detailed in her memoir, is one I believe deserves to be a movie. We also explore Janete's childhood, growing up in a small farm town in a family of 11, and facing hardships like poverty and an alcoholic father. Despite these challenges, her father's emphasis on education and doing good serves as a lasting beacon of inspiration. We reflect on the powerful lessons learned from him, as well as Janete's personal growth and empowerment as a woman. Through her story, she exemplifies resilience, independence, and the importance of sharing wisdom and courage with others.
