And now your host, Amy Porterfield.

Hey there, Amy Porterfield here and welcome to another episode of the online marketing made Easy Podcast.

Thanks for tuning in. Today we're talking about tackling your inbox. However, the conversation I'm going to have with my two guests

really isn't about the actual emails that have likely been piling up in your inbox for years. Well, if you're anything like me, that's happening.

So let me set the stage for you. One of my students, her name is April Perry, sent me an email and said, Amy I've gone through your courses, I've had some great success and I wanted to share some of that success with you.

And she's created webinars to sell her programs and has done incredibly well. Like the girl is a go-getter. And she actually has built her business with her husband Eric.

So the two together are really a dynamic duo. They make working together and being partners in life look really good like it actually can happen.

They also have four kids and they are busy, busy, busy parents. So I love their story in general in terms of being able to create this business together.

And their whole goal was to find time to be with their kids. So they dramatically changed their business in order to have that freedom.

So April and Eric Perry are a great couple just to learn more about. I'll link to their website in my show notes so you can kind of hear their story. If you are in a similar situation where you're looking for more time to start your business so you can be with your family, they're a great testament to that.

But the reason why April reached out to me is once you wanted to share some of her great successes because as a course creator, that's what you always want to hear, right?

How people are using your course and getting amazing success throughout what they're doing. But she also offered to come to my house to help me organize my inbox.

Now she lives in Southern California where I live and so it was just a kind of long drive down the highway to come to my place. I thought that was incredibly generous.

But she came over and we spent five hours together putting together what she calls a command central.

Now I'll let her explain to you what a command central is. But what was so interesting with my time that I had with April was that forever we didn't work on my inbox.

It was hours before we even got over to Gmail, which I thought was so incredibly weird. But when she started to explain to me what a command central really is all about and how important that is to get to inbox zero, it all made sense.

And I thought April, I've got to have you on the show. I need you to talk to my audience about what this looks like just to kind of start planning the seed that it really is possible to tame the inbox,

which I actually never believed it was possible. So I am happy to say I am at inbox zero every single day. That's kind of crazy, right?

And in addition to that, I now have a better system for a sauna, a better system for ever note and just a better system in general for the errands I have to run, the things I need to do with Cade, the discussions I need to have with friends or family members or things just to kind of keep everything running and humming on all cylinders.

She's going to talk about that as well because as entrepreneurs, we all know that business and the personal stuff can easily collide when you work from home, especially.
