“I would make healthier choices if I wasn’t so busy.”
If you are a professional or an entrepreneur striving to maintain your emotional wellness, plus balance a business, family demands, and work, this article is for you. In my daily discussions with both, colleagues and clients, the topic of having affordable, low-cost systems to sustain work-life balance comes up regularly.
I hear statements like:
“I want to start a business, but it is going to take so much of my time.”
“I just want to make things easier.”
“I would make healthier choices if I wasn’t so busy.”
Even I have been heard saying, “My goal is to streamline my life. I need my life to run more smoothly.”
If you can relate to one or more of these statements you may have experienced finances that negatively affect your health, perhaps you may need boundaries so your business or job isn’t running your life, or lastly, you may need to build automated systems into your life.
I’ve heard the above statements while working with women who identify as entrepreneurs, professional women in demanding positions, women who strive to excel, and women with type A personalities. Over the course of working with these individuals, there is often mention of seeking products and services to best support their business and lifestyle. I get it! When starting A Solution B, LLC I wanted to test drive tools before making a serious investment. With that said, to support you in your business endeavor I have provided services that I have used to sustain whole-body wellness in my life.
Streamline Meaning
Before I provide you with the goods, let me explain what it means to streamline your business and streamline your life? Streamlining means removing a task or reducing your workload to ease system processes in your business operations and provide ease and increase recreational time in your daily life.
Streamlining for entrepreneurs may look like this:
Review your businesses’ quarterly goals and examine what tasks are not providing financial support to your business.
Examining steps to onboard customers; identifying how to reduce the steps for the onboarding process.
Identifying skills that take time to develop and hiring a seasoned professional to outsource the tasks.
Streamlining your life may look like:
Cutting down on communication or setting boundaries with your business so that you can have more time with the people who matter most.
Outsource once a month for daily chores such as shopping, cooking, or cleaning.
Scheduling a non-negotiable time and day for your self-care, block it on the calendar, requiring customers and staff to “get in where they fit in” on the calendar.
Do any of these ideas hit home for you?
Streamlining can be a holistic approach to living because it includes all aspects of you. My goal for this blog is to provide resources to you to help establish business systems to eliminate unnecessary work while improving your and your family’s wellbeing. I’d love to support you in this endeavor.
Sorry readers I don’t have a discount code for Amazon or a promo code for a ps4, but what I do have to offer can help you, your friends, and your family to make healthy balanced lifestyle choices.

Below I’ve provided six services/ products that can help you to address your wellbeing today.
Nutrition
As busy professionals with demanding lives, this is one area most professionals balance the least…nutrition. If you are a busy professional like me, skipping meals or purchasing fast food items becomes second nature. Eating food is a necessity, and having access to fresh produce greatly benefits our emotional and physical health. Let HelloFresh do the grocery shopping and meal planning for you and all you are left to do is create home-cooked meals.
My family and I order HelloFresh monthly. We have designated Monday for Meatless Mondays to boost our vegetable and fruit intake. Shopping with HelloFresh has exposed my family to tasty plant-based meals, some of my favorites are the Black Bean enchiladas and the Pasta Primavera with Lemon.
When using this referral, here is what you will receive: You will receive $40 off your first box of food of Hello Fresh.
And did you know HelloFresh has a Healthcare discount as well? So if you are a healthcare provider get your discount.
Financials
QuickBooks
QuickBooks is one of the best tools I could have ever invested in. Although I have a website and electronic system where I can collect a payment, there are a ton of transactions occurring outside of those systems. This is where this QuickBooks Self-Employed financial software comes in, it helps to organize my income and expenses, organizes business receipts, even provides me with reminders when quarterly taxes are due. Travel mileage is simple to document and the software keeps track of my business profit and loss and more. An even better feature, if you choose to use it, QuickBooks can connect your business’s information to TurboTax making your taxes less complicated. Since my expenses have become more complex over time I no longer use the TurboTax feature, but it is available if I choose to use it. The larger your business the more features QuickBooks can provide.
With my referral code here is what you will receive: When you sign up to QuickBooks Self-Employed, you’ll receive a 50% off the monthly price of your subscription for 3 months, or 50% off for 6 months if you choose the subscription bundled with Payroll.
Business
Simple Practice
Simple Practice states it is a “practice management platform”. This electronic health record system (EHR) is available for a variety of practitioners such as Counselors, therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, dietitians, and other providers. As a therapist, I utilize Simple Practice to send documents for review and signing, document therapy sessions and provide confidential video sessions.
When I first began using Simple Practice the features were limited. It appears Simple Practice listens to the practitioners’ concerns and has made the necessary changes to smooth the practitioners’ experiences. Since I’ve started using this electronic record system, Simple Practice has added features to improve both, the client’s and therapist’s experience with the use and ease of the practice management platform.
Here is what you will receive with my referral code: When you sign up for a paid Simple Practice account after a 30-day free trial, you’ll receive a $50 credit towards your Simple Practice Subscription.
Outsource
Fiverr
Fiverr is a website where businesses are able to connect with freelancers to help with web design, marketing, and other services. Since the beginning of A Solution B, LLC Fiverr has been a lifesaver. To start up a business, entrepreneurs wear multiple hats. And to be honest, there were times when I didn’t have the time or the patience to learn a new skill to complete the desired tasks. Fiverr made it easy and affordable to develop an updated business plan and revamp my website. Plus outsourcing these services gave me time to focus on the things that were important to me, like family, friends, and my own self-care.
By using this Fiverr referral link: You will receive 10% off of your first purchase up to $100.
Body
Planet Fitness
Planet Fitness is a fitness center that provides two membership options. For less than $25 a month, I can utilize any Planet Fitness in the nation, receive discounts and perks, plus individual or group fitness training.
Planet Fitness was my go-to when I was becoming stir crazy at home with all of the restrictions. My previous fitness membership was on hold, the pool and fitness groups were closed, the only option available was Planet Fitness. During the tight COVID-19 restrictions here in Michigan I contacted Planet Fitness and asked about their precautions to ensure my safety. The individual I spoke with talked to me for nearly 30 minutes ensuring my safety, even offered to have me come in and see how they were addressing “social fitness” ( a cute name for social distancing). All in all, Planet Fitness staff helped me to feel comfortable and addressed any concerns that arise.
My fitness instructor has also been helpful. He sat down with me to devise a plan based on my fitness goals which were: To improve my fitness, to increase my ability to sleep, and to boost my energy.
The instructor never coerced me to be a certain weight. However, he does challenge me when doing a new exercise or increasing weight. Since I’ve met him, I’m not able to do a plank with alternating shoulder taps. Thank goodness for a fitness trainer! I don’t normally challenge myself in this way when I work out alone. That’s exactly why a trainer is necessary. Most fitness trainers can cost hundreds of dollars, but this fitness trainer is part of my membership package.
With my Planet Fitness referral link: You will be able to join Planet Fitness for $1 down.
Self-Soothe
Buddha Tea
Now that we covered many areas to address your health, it’s time to examine finding ways to relax in your day-to-day life. If you’ve attended one of my Tea Meditation Workshops then you’d know that I am a huge advocate for combining multiple senses as a form of healthy self-soothing techniques. One way to do this is by consuming a flavorful, warm beverage like hot/warm tea. There are so many benefits from drinking the warm beverage itself; I can name at least 4 Reasons To Drink Hot Tea. I encourage you to try the practice of mindfully drinking a warm beverage on your own time which you can do with Buddha Tea.
One reason I support Buddha Tea is that it aligns with my values and that is really important to me. Here is a quote from their site:
The fresh, organic herbs and tea leaves allow our teas to stay pure and natural, free from chemicals, preservatives and added flavoring. Our minimal processing and eco-friendly packaging helps to honor and protect the earth with every tea we make. This is our promise to you – that every sip provides you with the very best nature has to offer.
Here is what you will receive with my affiliate link: You will receive free shipping on any order over $50 within the United States when you order from Buddha Tea.
Next Steps
Be sure to Pay It Forward! I am a firm believer that when I receive an abundance it must be shared with others. Once connecting with these helpful tools for work-life balance using the aforementioned referral codes and affiliate links, be sure to share your discount code with others in need. You can share your referral codes by sharing them on social media, emailing them to your customers, or even posting the links in your email signature. Even if you don’t sign up for any of these services, you can share my links with others. Whatever you do…pay it forward!
Conclusion
It isn’t uncommon to hear professional women and entrepreneurs feel overstretched by the demands of life.
