Email has to be one of the biggest pain points that entrepreneurs face, and it's also something that is an inevitability in today's world if you're in eCommerce. I'm happy to say that I finally feel like I've gotten to a good place when it comes to my inbox—I no longer feel a sense of chaos when I open my email, and what used to take me over 2 hours now takes me half the time it used to. In this last solo episode of the summer, I'm discussing how I managed to wrangle my email and cleared out most of the junk, made the important stuff easy to spot, and overall made it possible for me to move through my inbox quickly and efficiently. I'll also be sharing the game-changer that helped me control the chaos much more easily and why I let go of a lot of hangups I had when it came to email (that you may also have and not even be aware of!).
