In today's episode, we're exploring ways that we can reignite the spark behind our motivation. Often times as creative business owners we go through seasons of peaks and valleys -- just like our life, things in our business will ebb and flow. Sometimes we feel amazing -- business is easy and content is flowing out of us -- and other times we feel stuck, a lack of motivation and like we just don't know what to do to move forward. No matter where you are on your business journey, you're bound to experience times like this -- because let's be honest, we're human and this is all part of our human experience! BUT, there are some tools and resources to help you get unstuck and feeling back on track.

Here is a sneak peek of some of the things we cover: 

1. The importance of your business revolving around your life (and not the other way around)
2. Understanding that feeling a lack of creativity is a part of the journey as a creative business owner
3. 3 tips for reigniting the spark and finding your motivation again

As business owners, sometimes we struggle to figure out how to differentiate ourselves from competitors. We know that to stand out, we must offer a unique and personalized client experience. A big part of creating that experience comes from the way we streamline our businesses. But, sometimes, it can be really overwhelming to implement new systems and processes. Starting small and focusing on the most pressing pain-points before gradually expanding to other areas of improvement can help business owners ease into the process. 

And that’s what we are talking about in today’s episode! My special guest is Ashley Tindall, an expert in elevating systems and client experiences for entrepreneurs. As the CEO and founder of Solution Integrators, Ashley specializes in helping business owners scale their businesses beyond six figures by optimizing their client journeys, streamlining processes, and providing project management support. Through her dedication to transparency and her passion for helping others win, Ashley has become a go-to resource for entrepreneurs who want to level up their businesses and create lasting success.

During our chat today, Ashley shares her tried-and-tested system that can help you save time, streamline processes and boost customer satisfaction. So, if you're struggling to keep track of your business processes, or want to learn how to automate, this episode is for you!

IN THIS EPISODE, WE’RE TALKING THROUGH: 

1. Discovering the essential role of creating and documenting processes for a streamlined business operation.
2. Recognizing the necessity of setting boundaries early on for a thriving and sustainable business.
3. Uncovering the importance of tailoring an exceptional client experience to foster long-lasting relationships.

Today’s episode is all about prioritizing ourselves. It’s about focusing on how we can fill ourselves back up as creatives, as business owners, as women, as entrepreneurs. It’s tough being a business owner and there are so many things that I wish I would have known before diving in. While I wouldn’t have necessarily done anything different, there are so many lessons and things I’m continuing to learn and I’m excited to share with you today.

This conversation is about understanding the importance of investing in yourself (as a person) in order to achieve big business growth. It's essential to recognize that the entrepreneurial journey is not linear, and that moments of growth can be followed by moments of feeling stuck or anxious. Taking a break from working in the business to focus on self-love and mental health can help to create clarity and reduce stress. It's so important to remember that your business would not exist if it weren't for YOU! I’m really excited to dive in today and talk about how we can manage some of our anxiety and prioritize ourselves as part of our business and our overall goals!  

Here is a sneak peak of some of the things we cover: 

1. The importance of investing in yourself in order to achieve big business growth 
2. Acknowledging anxiety and finding ways to manage it 
3. Practicing more self love and self acceptance when you’re feeling unmotivated

Hello friends! I am so excited for today’s episode because it’s all about branding! As a personal branding photographer and coach, “brand” is something of a buzzword that we hear a LOT. Sometimes as creative business owners, we aren’t really sure if we have a strong brand or not. I’m thrilled to be talking to Lisa Aihara today who will be taking us on an active and visual journey of self-discovery as she opens up about the power in her own brand, introducing a newfound and compelling conflict between professional ambitions and creative desires. 

A little bit about Lisa - she found herself swept off her feet by the tight-knit community of creative entrepreneurs in the wedding industry. Having built a successful career in online marketing for Disney Ecom, she couldn't ignore the creative itch that needed scratching. At 30, Lisa decided to take a leap of faith and start her own wedding stationery business. As she worked with fellow entrepreneurs, she realized her true passion was helping them bring their brands to life. Drawing on her marketing expertise and experiences with big brands like Disney, Sephora, and Nordstrom, Lisa quickly became a go-to expert for those looking to infuse their unique brand into their businesses.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the things we cover: 

1. Harness the undeniable magnetic force of authentic branding to stand out from the crowd.
2. Grasp the nuances of your target market for a precise, targeted branding game plan.
3. Escape the trap of perfectionism and unleash a surge of productivity and forward momentum.

Often, one of the BEST things you can do to help yourself see massive growth (both in your personal life and your business) is to put yourself in the room with other creatives and business owners that are doing the WORK! I recently attended an intimate weekend retreat with ~40 other women creatives and business owners and it was so incredibly LIFE GIVING! I walked away with so many business takeaways, but also with a completely renewed perspective around how I looked at my life.

In today’s episode I’m sharing two really BIG takeaways that I had from the weekend – and I’m also sharing tips around how we can, as creatives, create our own unique sustainable business strategies.

P.S. This episode was also recorded and shared via video on Youtube! I am so so excited to be sharing more video content and to get to connect with you on a deeper level. If video is your thing, I’d love for you to check it out!

Here is a sneak peek of some of the things we cover:

• The two energies (inside of you) that you need to pay attention to more frequently
• How to shift your perspective and perceive success in a sustainable way
