Productivity Hacks and Purposeful Living with Tonya Dalton

CAN PRODUCTIVITY HELP ME TO LIVE ON PURPOSE?


This week I sat down with Productivity Expert and founder of
inkWELL Press, Tonya Dalton.


Tonya is a productivity expert who started her first business in
2009 working out of her dining room juggling two small kids. By
2011, she had grown the business to the point where her husband
could leave corporate America and come work with her. By
combining her entrepreneurial spirit with his MBA and marketing
experience, they were able to grow a small niche business quickly
into something that could support their family.


The company continued to flourish, but something was missing. In
the summer of 2014 she closed up shop to follow her true passion
of starting inkWELL Press - a company centered around
productivity tools and training. inkWELL Press launched in
November of 2014 and has been able to rapidly grow its online
presence and expand into a national retail partnership thanks to
a commitment to quality, focused marketing efforts and fiercely
loyal fans. Recently Tonya launched her podcast, Productivity
Paradox, which debuted at #12 in iTunes in the Business category
and surpassed 100,000 downloads in the first few months.
