Own It! 287 | Time Off Is Never Wasted

Sea Painter Jo Payne invites Judith and Nicola to talk about the importance of self-care. Jo describes herself as “now religiously fitting in yoga, Pilates, meditation, breathing exercises, walking outside, lying on prickly mats listening to gongs into my daily life, it’s a wonder I have time to actually paint..." In The Show Judith and Nicola answer a question from a listener about investing in time off from work and feeling good about it as opposed to guilty as if you were caught slacking off. Nicola has enjoyed her usual weekly round of tea with Heather, sundowners on the roof with the kids, and poker with Pete but unusually she and Nelson had a row (about a cardboard box!). Judith has had an epic fail on her first attempt in her unexpectedly heroic quest for the perfect compostable coffee pod. #Nespresso #Recycling #HelloFresh #SusanAnnHills #Everywoman #5DayChallenge #TimeOff #SelfCare #HarvardBusinessReview What's Fuelled Their Fire? Nicola is pleased with her decision to try out Hello Fresh, four dinners for £17 and a 50% discount voucher for first timers. Judith has enjoyed a conversation on Facebook about the importance of creative people making time to do nothing, Focus Of The Week - Time Off Is Never Wasted Sea Painter Jo Payne invites Judith and Nicola to talk about the importance of self-care. Jo describes herself as “now religiously fitting in yoga, Pilates, meditation, breathing exercises, walking outside, lying on prickly mats listening to gongs into my daily life, it’s a wonder I have time to actually paint. But if I don’t do these things, it all goes horribly wrong eventually and then I can’t". Nicola recommends the Harvard Business Review article called How to Forget About Work When You’re Not working. https://www.facebook.com/SeaPainter-1674851056083936/ https://www.seapainterstudio.com/ Words Of The Week Judith chooses Counter-Intuitive and Nicola picks Groundhog Day. Project Updates Judith has completed five eighths of the last module of Jordan Peterson’s self-authoring suite, and Nicola is re-working her way through the content of her own C&L 5-Day Challenge in preparation for its next outing on 7th September. Who Or What's Impressed Judith has enjoyed a webinar interview her client Susan Ann Hills gave to Everywoman about her new venture, Zenith Women. And Nicola appreciates Bret and Eric Weinstein for their Unity 2020 Campfire. *** Join our free Facebook Group for Own It! the Podcast and talk back to us about what you hear in the show.

Om Podcasten

Own It! is a weekly podcast for aspiring entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and small business owners everywhere. With years of business experience, great friends and ex-business partners Nicola Cairncross and Judith Morgan share – in their trademark straight talking, humorous way - what they’ve been up to that week; what’s inspired, impressed and infuriated them, business book recommendations, the marketing and money tips, tools and techniques they use themselves. They mix up deeply practical business “how to” with the psychology of success and clients challenges and success stories. As your business depends on you 100% and you need some sort of work/life balance they don’t neglect how to combine being a successful entrepreneur with being a partner, parent, sibling and child of ageing parents. Nicola and Judith are living the entrepreneurial and digital nomad life themselves every single day, so who better to learn from in this down to earth, funny, quirky podcast?
