What’s one of the biggest complaints many CEO School boss babes have? There aren’t enough hours in the day. You’re not alone if you feel this way. Every single entrepreneur has the same issue and short of either giving everything up entirely or making a deal with the universe to add a few extra hours to the day, there isn’t much you can do. Or is there? In today’s episode, I am sharing my number one time hack that is going to save you 8 hours a week. YES! I have a system that actually wins me back time and it ensures that everything that needs to get completed gets completed and what needs to be delegated gets delegated. During this episode, I talk about why you should only be focusing on the critical tasks, why time is a valuable asset, and why a calendar is your best tool!   Sign up for the Do Less Masterclass happening 3/29 here. Follow @ceoschool on Instagram for inspiration and exclusive behind-the-scenes you won’t find anywhere else. This episode is sponsored by The Club, a Quarterly box and digital monthly community to help you level up and leadership and life.

Globally the beauty industry is currently valued at $511B. This massive market is dominated by skincare products which targets a larger demographic compared to makeup. Massive companies like L’Oreal, Clinique and even K-beauty brands to name a few line the shelves of retail stores and the bathrooms of consumers - but does everything we put on our skin actually belong there?  In today’s episode I am talking to Sabrina Noorani, founder of ClearForMe, the largest database for skincare ingredients. After facing a major skin allergy Sabrina knew that the way we consumed skincare and beauty products needed to change, and now she advocates for consumer empowerment and transparency in the skincare industry working with major retailers like Elf, Ulta, Nair and more! During our powerful conversation, Sabrina touches on her time working in the finance industry and making the transition to the cosmetics and entrepreneurship world. She shares why you need to trust the fear and go with it, how to focus on pivoting your idea to match what the market needs and balancing motherhood with growing a business.  Connect with Sabrina: Website: https://clearforme.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearfor_me/   Follow @ceoschool on Instagram for inspiration and exclusive behind-the-scenes you won’t find anywhere else. This episode is sponsored by The Club, a Quarterly box and digital monthly community to help you level up and leadership and life.

In today’s episode I talk to Ego Iwegbu, a mathematics major turned clean cosmetics expert. She is a genius not only in mathematical formulations but chemical ones as well, having created a clean beauty cosmetic line called The Good Mineral. Ego is on a mission to help women live their best lives by eliminating harmful ingredients often found in beauty products. During our powerful conversation, Ego speaks on breaking out from the academic family tradition to courageously explore entrepreneurship. She shares why courage is the first step to success (even when you want to quit and you’re afraid to fail), why at the end of the day scaling might not always be the best decision for your business and the key to getting your products into the market.  Links Mentioned: Website: https://www.thegoodmineral.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/egoiwegbu/ Follow @ceoschool on Instagram for inspiration and exclusive behind-the-scenes you won’t find anywhere else. This episode is sponsored by The Club, a Quarterly box and digital monthly community to help you level up and leadership and life.
