Here are the slides from my webinar I hosted all about living a life of more ease as a mumpreneur. I talk about:
- taking back control of your time,
- some productivity tips,
- household management tips,
- prioritising and finding time for you
- having the courage to change your current reality.
In the final 3 slides, I pitch my new online course "Productivity for Mumpreneurs Simplified" (price £97). The course presumes no previous knowledge of productivity and work-life balance..
