Kevin Alto, Co-Founder, Alto Collective<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Starting and running your own business is a very emotional endeavor– it takes a lot both physically and mentally.<\/p>\n

Since it was just my brother and me that started Alto Collective, the company and the products we make are essentially an extension of ourselves, which raises the emotional game even more.\u00a0 We eat sleep and breathe Alto Collective because we are Alto Collective.\u00a0 This naturally raises one obvious question…\u00a0where does work end and life begin?<\/p>\n

For the first two and a half years we didn\u2019t have a great balance.\u00a0 The natural ebbs and flows typical for a start-up have been present and equally as dramatic for us; the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, we experienced it all.\u00a0 When things are so volatile, sometimes all we were focused on was surviving, the whole concept of a healthy lifestyle put on hold.<\/p>\n

A little over three years since we started, we have found our rhythm and finally have the capacity to integrate some healthier choices.\u00a0 I have recently gone one step further by analyzing my morning routine so that I can maximize each and every day.\u00a0 I would highly recommend reading a book called \u201cThe Power of Habit\u201d by Charles Duhigg.\u00a0 The work we do will continue to occupy a large percentage of our time which is why developing healthy habits and routines are critical to maximize our potential and also allow us to participate in that thing called life, with the people we love.<\/p>\n
