YOU are the engine that keeps your business moving and self care is crucial for any entrepreneur's personal and professional success. Episode 117 gives lots of great (free) ways to take care of YOU.

 “I am telling you...when you do this, you will feel better.”

-Bonnie L. Frank 

In today's episode,  I discuss some of my top non-negotiables regarding self care for any online business owner and how they've helped me. Entrepreneurs are often very driven individuals, so they tend to just work until they drop...not realizing that business is really a marathon and not a sprint. If you're going to outlast your competition, you will need to take care of your greatest asset: YOU.

All of these tips I give in this episode are easy, actionable and free. If you're feeling overwhelmed in your business and would like some help or advice, feel free to schedule a strategy call with me at bit.ly/talktobonnie. To find more resources and see the behind the scenes of my...

• My morning coffee has one tablespoon of collagen in it and my hair, skin and nails have never  better

Triggers are things, people, events, situations, colors, music--literally anything--that set off a negative reaction in your mind and sometimes also parts of your body. And everyone has them.

Note: This episode was taken from a Facebook Live broadcast and the content is stellar; however, the sound isn't perfect.

 In this week's episode:

• Triggers are anything (people, events, dates, songs, etc.) that set you off and affect you--usually negatively. It is a thought, feeling, physical reaction in your body.

• Identifying your triggers takes focus and reflection, but knowing what triggers you and how to effectively deal with them will improve your productivity.
• You are 100% in control of what goes through your social media feeds.
• Like, comment, share, save, archive posts that you want to see more of in the future.

In this week's episode:

• Facebook has approximately 2.8 billion people, so your audience is likely on there.

• You cannot own a hashtag, but you can dominate it.
• The easiest and fastest way to get noticed by experts or others in your industry is to be a helpful audience member in the chat of livestream broadcasts. I detail many ways to do this in the episode including greeting the host(s),...
