Your website words and brand messaging can make or break your business. While the design of your website is what attracts your ideal client, the words themselves is what will seal the deal and get them to connect and work with you.  As a web designer myself I've seen over and over my clients struggle when it comes to writing their own website copy (btw website copy mean the website words!) so I couldn't think of a better guest to bring on than copywriting strategist Kayla Dean. Kayla is sharing her top tips for making your website words a success!

Are you an introvert or an extrovert? I've had a lot of people act surprised when I share with them I'm a TOTAL introvert. Maybe we assume because someone's launched their own business, they've put their face out there in the world and they show up on a podcast or on live video that they must be an extrovert and thrive off of this spotlight. What people aren't seeing behind the scenes is after any type of extended person-person interacting I need some MAJOR alone time. For us introverts we can get very energetically drained by being surrounded by other people, both digitally and in-person. In this episode of the Create Your Destiny podcast I'm sharing what exactly it's like living life and running a business as an Introverted Empathic business owner and how it actually has some surprising benefits!

I have a 14-19 hour time difference between most of my clients with Girlboss Designer. Since moving across to the world from Atlanta to Australia I’ve had to adapt to running an online business overseas with dramatically different and constantly changing time zones. Luckily I’ve got some tools and tricks up my sleeve to share! Wondering how it’s possible to run a business full time from the other side of the world? This episode is for you!

WE ARE MOVING!!! Yep my fiancé Stephen and I are about to pack up our home and head south to Sydney next year. In this episode I’m sharing all the details why we’re moving and the emotional rollercoaster I went through with how it’s going to go down. Moving is always bittersweet and I am sad to be letting go of our first home together and being a bike ride from the beach. It’s such a lesson in being grateful everyday for the little “normal” things in life we can so easily take for granted.

This week I’m sharing lessons I learned from my mom that I bring into business, and life! No she is not actually joining me on the show - she actually has no idea I even made this episode. And honestly.. I am pretty sure she’s never listened to this podcast EVER! But regardless of my mother’s own level of interaction with my digital world (zero - she’s old school) - there are certain key pieces of advice she ingrained in me growing up that I still hear in the back of my head today. 

Don’t tell my mom I’m saying this, but even though back then I rolled my eyes at his and never wanted to be told what to do - these nuggets are pretty damn valid. Isn’t that how it normally goes though - our moms annoy us with all their advice for YEARS until we realize crap… she was totally right about this.

Are you dreaming of quitting your 9-5 day job in the office to go pursue your dreams? Well a few years ago so was I… AND I DID. In this episode I am sharing my behind-the-scenes story of the exact moment I knew I was 100% done commuting and working a 9-5 job. I’m sharing all the thoughts going through my head at the time, how I went about leaving, and then what happened afterwards.

The most important takeaway from this is nothing happens for you unless you take action toward it. All the thinking and the dreaming and wishing will get you nowhere in reality - it’s time to start doing instead!

I want to know if any of you have taken this same leap of faith into the unknown?

If you’ve left a job to pursue your dreams on your own - or if you are just dreaming of doing it  - let’s connect! Come say hello and share your story with me on Instagram @girlbossdesigner
