Confronting The Big Unnecessary O’s Wreaking Havoc On Your Business with Amber De La Garza

“I've never met an un-messy business. Everybody has their thing and you are learning and you are figuring out what works for you, what works for your business, and it's a work in progress.” - Amber De La Garza

What if you could transform your overwhelming work life into a well-balanced and productive routine? Have you ever wondered why you constantly feel overwhelmed? 

In this episode of That Big CEO Energy, we dive deep into:

• The root causes of being overcommitted, overexerted, and overworked, and provide practical solutions for each. 
• Recognizing these symptoms and steps you can take to delegate tasks, set clear boundaries, and find better work-life balance. 
• The importance of specificity in tackling stressors, making your workload more manageable and less daunting.

We also explore the mental toll of being constantly "on call" and the significance of setting boundaries, such as defining specific work hours. By conducting a time audit and adhering to structured yet flexible schedules, you'll learn to channel your CEO energy in a constructive direction, ultimately fostering both professional success and personal well-being.
