When you’re trying to build a business on a budget you learn to do a LOT of things out of your comfort zone, right?…

Facebook lists have transformed the way that I use my Facebook profile to network with other female entrepreneurs online! I am a pretty private person in general... I don't like the idea of having all of my kiddos pictures out there online for EVERYONE to see. Because of that, I tend to keep my Facebook pretty secure and private.

If you're a female entrepreneur, you probably know you need a website. But do you know about Google Analytics and why you need it?…

Hey Girl! When I found out I was pregnant with my now 18 month old, I nearly had a panic attack. We were not expecting to get pregnant. We were not mentally preparing to have a child. It was not in our plan!!! You see, I had ALWAYS dreamed of being able to stay home with my kids. Actually, I LONGED to live a life chasing my passions (I had many) and my kiddos… not climbing the corporate ladder.
 

Have you ever turned a prospective client away because you assumed they wouldn’t want to pay your full price? Have you ever considered offering a discount because you thought you weren’t worth premium prices? Have you ever wrestled with the idea of sharing your prices with someone in fear that they would think it was too high and not want to work with you?

Scared of feeling rejected. Scared of feeling like you're not worth it. Scared of feeling let down...

Hey Girl! The appearance of your business is probably one of the most important investments you can make. Don’t believe me? Check out why in my recent post about why your business appearance matters.

So, the question is not IF you should invest in branding, but WHEN. 

So when is right? Well, there really are two different stages in business when you should consider a branding investment…

You’ve heard it a thousand times: Don’t judge a book by its cover. Although there are times in life where this saying is so important… say for instance when you’re meeting someone new. It’s always a good idea to have a conversation with and get to know someone new before you form your opinion of them, right? I think we can pretty much all agree on that one.

Well, what about in business? The truth is that most people DO judge your business based presentation and appearance alone...

Hey Girl! I’ve been thinking a lot about you today. I’ve been home with a sick toddler which has left me with quite a bit of time to think! And you know what came to mind? YOUR SUCCESS.

Here’s a little thing about me you may not know yet… I want every interaction that we have to add value to your life and business because I believe IN YOU and FOR YOUR DREAMS! ...

There is a saying out there that says that entrepreneurs are the only ones willing to work 80 hours per week to avoid working 40. I laugh every time I hear it but, from what I've seen, it's totally true! I don't know about you, but the freedom and flexibility is totally worth it to me! On the other hand, it's so important to regain some of that time to make sure you avoid burnout. A stressed-out Momma isn't fun for anyone! 

Friend, you don't need to work 80 hours a week to have a profitable business! 

Do you have this aching inside of you that you were made for more than the mundane, wheel-spinnning life? Oh boy, do I get that. For years I worked my 9-5, constantly feeling like I was made for more, but I didn't know what that more was! I felt a little lost and confused every time I thought about all of the impact I wanted to make in the world, but I could never figure out how to get there...

You need a brand strategy!

I talk with female business owners all the time who know branding is so important but they don't know where to begin. They are overwhelmed. They also don't know how much their brand is actually missing. You don't know what you don't know, right!? So today we're going to talk a bit about the very basics. These are things you can do yourself!

Today I want to talk with you about the dreaded identity crisis. Because as female entrepreneurs, I think it's something we all may be able to relate to (at least a little).

These last 4 months have been extremely crazy for me and my business. Just a few months ago, I quit my day job to get back to the hustle of building my own business.
