I recently modified my diet and started working out regularly, mostly in the morning to ensure my gym time doesn’t get compromised throughout my work day. I have lost weight; I feel great and am making a comeback in terms of work productivity and personal life growth.

It’s important for CEOs to keep physically, mentally and spiritually healthy. In the early days of Skilljar, I often let my exercise and nutrition slip. I’m now back on a healthy regimen and continue to make it a priority on a daily basis. I also find this helps me be more focused and productive at work.
—Sandi Lin, CEO, Skilljar
At almost 35, I’m finally comfortable owning my success. I think a lot of young leaders—especially females—feel the need to downplay accomplishments or say things like “I’ve gotten really lucky.” Now, I don’t hesitate to say, “I’ve worked incredibly hard to get where I am, and I’m proud of the sacrifices I’ve made and the results I’ve achieved.”
—Brittany Hodak, co-founder, The Superfan
I value my health and vitality above everything. All my habits are fundamental to my success and I have shifted into being more disciplined all around. Discipline gives me freedom.
—Arman Assadi, co-founder and CEO, Project EVO
