As an entrepreneur, you are responsible for a lot. Whether it is employees, customers, vendors, marketing tasks, sales, strategic planning… …Need I go on? Many times the last thing we feel that we can make time for is exercise.

001: Morning Routines
4/18/2015
Based off of anecdotal evidence, it would seem that we are primed to do our best work in the morning. Our sleep overnight rejuvenates us, our dreams help us process whatever is on our minds (consciously or unconsciously), so it makes a lot of sense that our best part of the day would be the morning.
