## Focal Points with Dorie Howell

# Episode #73 - What 500 Workouts Taught Me About Business

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel blah and then when you try to get work done, it seems impossible? Maybe you didn’t get enough sleep last night. Maybe you overindulged. Maybe you binged the final season of that show everyone has been raving about. Whatever the case, it’s almost certain that you know how much your personal health can affect your business. In today’s episode, Dorie shares her self-realizations, the choice to take control, and that external motivation is unreliable for both her personal AND business lives.
