Shownotes

As a solopreneur, your most valuable business asset isn’t your laptop or your logo — it’s you.

In this episode of the Boyne Ergonomics Podcast, I share my personal experience with a work-limiting injury that kept me out of action for 8 weeks — and why that became a turning point in how I approach my own setup.

We’ll explore the real cost of poor ergonomics (spoiler: it’s not just neck pain), how to create a healthier workspace even on a tight budget, and why movement is one of your best productivity tools.

🧠 What You’ll Learn:

  • The hidden ways poor ergonomics are draining your focus and income
  • Why laptops are both a blessing and a curse for solopreneurs
  • How to build an ergonomic workspace in affordable, realistic phases
  • Simple, powerful movement habits that boost energy and creativity
  • How to tune into your body’s early warning signs before they become big problems
  • Why ergonomic upgrades offer one of the highest returns on investment in your business
