A SINGLE mum running two seven-figure businesses has revealed her daily schedule - including getting out of bed at 4am and doing ‘deep work’ sessions.
Liv Conlon, 25, originally from Glasgow but who now lives in Spain, runs a multi-award-winning property staging business that furnishes more than 300 homes a year, as well as a StagerBoss - a coaching business teaching other women how to do the same.
On top of that, TEDx speaker and bestselling author Liv looks after her nine-month-old son Cash, along with help from a nanny, as well as finding time to workout most weekdays and drink ‘mean’ margaritas in the evening.
Liv was crowned The UK Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2019 having founded The Property Stagers at just age 16 - after leaving school where she was badly bullied despite her teachers’ protests.
It quickly became the UK’s most recommended staging company, winning 13 awards nationally and internationally in six months.

Liv, who lives in Marbella with Cash, her mum Ali, and their dog Kevin, has also launched her own charity Too Big For Your Boots, which helps young people launch their own business.
Liv says: “I work very purposely.
“I love the quote ‘What is done in the dark is seen in the light.’ At times I’m sure my life looks glamorous but people only see the light part: speaking on stages, being interviewed, staying in cool places.
“However, it has taken many years of working behind the scenes to get to this place.”
To manage her very busy lifestyle, Liv adheres to a strict schedule, but even she admits that it isn’t for everyone.
“I recognise that my schedule could be viewed as quite extreme and it’s not for everyone, but it works for me,” she says.
“I’ve programmed myself this way for so long that I take joy in my schedule, and when I go on holiday and don’t follow it, I enjoy the break but also look forward to getting back into it.
“I often get DMs on Instagram when I share my daily routine that I should take more time for myself, but by working this schedule, I AM taking care of myself.”
While her days may seem hectic, Liv is careful to set aside time for herself, even if it follows the strict schedule.
“The first two hours of the day are putting myself and my wellbeing first,” she says.

“I spend the first two hours solely focused on my health.
“I’ve struggled to carve that time previously and it took its toll, so I now make it a very conscious effort to put my health above my business.”
Liv adds that having such a regimented schedule allows her to be a better parent to her son.
“Another reason that I work to this schedule is so that I can be a fully present mum,” she explains.
“When I’m with Cash, I am never on my phone or laptop, I’m enjoying every moment.
“On the weekend, work doesn’t even enter my mind, we have two full days of fun.
“Ultimately, everything I’m building is to create a life with no limits for us, and to change other people’s lives along the way, and I’m really excited to be a role model for him - that no matter what he wants to achieve, he can do it.”
