Ever wonder what it takes to be a successful content creator?
Today's guest knows! Biohacker Brittany Ford was working with clients one-on-one as a nutritionist until she realized that increasingly it was her skill as a content creator that people were reaching out to her for and in this episode, you'll get an insider's look behind the scenes.
Also, you'll hear how she's making "deep work" a priority, and it's something that we all need to integrate to grow our side hustles. One of the end-of-episode takeaways I share is a highly effective tool called the "Friday Box" that you'll want to employ when facing a pressing problem that is keeping you from focusing on your business. There's also a nice little (and often needed) reminder about the difference between "urgent" vs "important" tasks and how to take back control.
