🙆🏾‍♀️ Why some women are thriving with a single income and no kids.

👏 Tools to recognize great employees in real-time.

🛠 Peek behind the scenes of a fully remote team’s toolkit.

Takeaways:

• Use ChatGPT to draft persuasive negotiation emails. Share your situation and goal, and it will create a confident, emotionally intelligent draft to help you land better deals (think job offers, rent, car leases, and more).
• Analyze competitor reviews to sharpen your messaging. Drop negative customer reviews from rival products into ChatGPT and ask it to find common complaints. Then, adjust your own marketing to address those gaps.
• Summarize long agreements in seconds. Paste in contracts, T&Cs, or platform agreements and ask ChatGPT for a short summary of key points so you catch what matters most.

You do it all. Work deadlines. Family logistics. The invisible load that never seems to shrink. And while you keep pushing, your energy isn’t infinite.

Here’s the thing most health advice skips: if your cells are depleted, everything feels harder. Focus slips. Stress lingers. Your body struggles to bounce back.

Takeaways:

• Exceptional employees don’t wait for instructions. They notice, act, and align their work with the bigger picture. Initiative is a signal of leadership, not just work ethic.
• Soft skills like relationship intelligence, adaptability, and strategic thinking often determine your success more than technical skills alone.
• The real differentiator? Impact. Average employees do their tasks; exceptional ones connect their work to results that move the needle.

Late payments. Clunky spreadsheets. That sinking “did I send the invoice?” feeling. Sound familiar?

Getting paid should be simple—and it can be when invoicing runs like a system, not a side chore.

Here’s how:

• Be upfront. Share terms before you start work.
• Automate reminders. Let the system do the nudging for you.
• Track as you go. Capture time and expenses in real time so invoices don’t pile up.

Tools to try:

• FreshBooks: built for freelancers and small teams who want invoicing that runs itself (time-tracking, recurring billing, auto-reminders).
• Zoho Invoice: best for businesses needing flexibility with global payments and tax handling.

Because the less time you spend chasing payments, the more time you have to grow your business (or, you know, actually enjoy your Thursday). Upgrade your invoicing and make “getting paid” the easiest part of your week.

Takeaways:

• Place your hands directly under or in line with your shoulders. Avoid placing them too wide or far in front.
• Rotate your arms so the pits face forward by “screwing” your hands into the floor. This keeps elbows tucked and shoulders stable.
• Avoid shoulder blade collapse at the top of the push-up. Start with elevated push-ups, then move to slingshot variations before full bodyweight.
