Small actions can reap big rewards.

Every day restaurant owner Lien Ta spends time doing something just for her — even if it’s just a few minutes. In the chaotic world of operating restaurants and hosting live events, the restaurateur and industry leader learned that the best way to take care of others is to first take care of yourself.

“But I've gotten better week-to-week at building just a little bit more structure to better take care of myself. And the payoff is strong,” All Day Baby co-founder Lien Ta told Shawn Walchef of Cali BBQ Media (https://calibbq.media) on a visit to the Los Angeles restaurant.

“I wouldn't have even thought of those events if I hadn't actually started doing these tiny little things for myself.”
