Aloha Entrepreneurs,

I’m working on a big event in my life, and part of this journey is embracing minimalism. Right now, I’m in the thick of making decisions and asking myself questions like:

What do I want to create space for?

What do I want less of?

What can I let go of?

As I’ve been decluttering my surroundings, I’ve realized it’s just as much about caring for myself as it is about clearing a closet or a drawer. In her book Minimalista, Shira Gill says, “Your mindset matters. You have to believe you will meet your goal.” That’s true not only for minimalism, but also for self-care. Creating space in our homes, our schedules, and our minds allows us to fill our cups and show up as our best selves.

It's been a week of letting go....

Entrepreneurs! It's time to fill your cup!

in my Entrepreneurs Who Work From Home interview series, I always ask one important question:
“How do you make time for self-care?”

I wanted to give you some ideas from the Entrepreneurs who are making sure self-care is truly part of their journey.

Their answers are refreshingly real, and they might inspire you to rethink your own routines:

Michelle Rohr reminds us, “You have to have a self-care habit! If you don’t, you think you aren’t worthy of it.” For her, something as simple as “lotioning your whole body” is a practice of self-love and abundance.
Caterina Rando builds her self-care on positive self-talk: “We gotta be our own best success coach.” For her, business retreats and spa days aren’t indulgences—they’re fuel for serving and uplifting others.
LeeAnn Webster who helps women handle "no regrets" in life, focuses on exercise, board games, and loves to laugh so she attends comedy clubs. How unique is that?
Anita Larsen finds her reset on the beach—soaking in the sun, waves, and calm that restore her balance.
Celine Egan, a busy CEO, bookends her day with walks and prioritizes health appointments, weaving care into her high-demand lifestyle.
Grace Keohouhbou sees self-care as a consistent investment. Whether it’s rest, reading, or coffee, it’s her way of resetting with intention.

Each of these entrepreneurs has found a personal rhythm. The lesson? Self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. It simply has to be intentional. When you take time to refill your own cup, you don’t just feel better—you think clearer, work smarter, and create with more joy!

So here’s your gentle nudge: make yourself a priority this week. Schedule time that’s just for you, not just your business.

Just like minimalism isn’t about having less—it’s about making room for more of what matters—self-care is the same. When we let go of the clutter, we create space to refill our cups with energy, clarity, and joy.

If you’d like support in building a self-care plan that fits into your entrepreneurial life, I’d love to help. Book a free call, and let’s design a plan to keep your cup full—so you can pour into your business and your life with ease.

Until next week,

Gale Bates, Your "BIG BOLD GOALS” Mentor
