When you’re tired, what sustains your work?
1. Making an impactKnowing that my company’s work is making a meaningful and positive impact on people’s lives.

2. Remembering your whyFor me, failure is not an option. I started working toward my launch while pregnant. It was really tough and a lot of personal sacrifices were made during that period. So whenever I feel unmotivated, I look at my son. It reminds me why I started my business and that always pushes me through.

3. MusicWhen I’m tired, feeling motivated is challenging. What helps me is music, and not just any music but high-energy music. Music helps me refocus, energizes me and gets my productivity back on track.
