Just Start: Get Visible

The Law. Those two simple words will make even the most confident person shudder just a little.

And if you add on the complications of business to this mix, it can cause even more fear and anxiety.

Having a solid handle on legal foundations for your business will save you energy, time and money!

In a recent conversation with Shavon Smith, founder of The SJS Law Firm, we discuss the ins and outs of the law and some of the biggest mistakes people make when starting a new business.

We often spend a lot of time worrying about starting because of our fears.

And wile, it is normal to have fears, apprehensions and hesitations, we must ask ourselves, "how can we structure our lives and new ventures in a way that sets us up for success".

Having a solid lack of structure often induces anxiety and fear because we don't have a plan for what to do next.

In a recent conversation with Jenni Hendrix, founder of Tax Team Services, we engage in a transparent conversation where we discuss how she started her company, her biggest mistake when she started and the top financial mistakes that people make when starting.

Remember those tasks and commitments that you had back in 2019? Well, guess what - those are coming back again. A new year doesn't magically erase your commitments, which is why in order to truly have the time, energy and organization to do the things that you want to do, you've gotta have pre-planned days for things.

Tune in to get recommendations on how you schedule your week and even get access to your own document to plan out your weekly structure.

There are 20 days left in 2019.

Maybe you're starting to think about how you're going to level up, switch some things around or completely change directions for 2020.

But before you think too hard, let's first pause and reflect on a few things.

How did the year REALLY go?

Did you have the right people in your life?

Do you have unnecessary things that are getting in your way of growth?

Do you realize what you have and what you have access to AND did you use it?

Well, let's tackle these things and many others so that you can go into 2020 ready!

We're all trying to work miracles with the little bit of time that we have. And, when you've decided that you want to start something new, you'll quickly start to wonder, "but, when will I find the time for that?"

On this episode of Just Start: From Ideas To Action, we will dig into Getting Out Of A Creative Rut with Andrea Williams.

In a recent conversation with Andrea, owner/designer of Paisley Paper Co., we had a very transparent conversation about her creative process, how she gets out of her own ruts and when she knows she needs to just leave something alone and come back to it later.

Sweating. Shaking. Nervousness. Scattered.

Maybe you're thinking that you're crazy or that you don't have it together or that you just can't get it right.

Or maybe - just maybe - anxiety is trying to take over and ruin your greatness.

In this episode of Just Start: From Ideas To Action, I take a deep dive into my own personal journey with anxiety, share the intimate journey of how I discovered my diagnosis and provide some actionable tips on how to deal with it, if you're facing the symptoms as well.

If starting a project, side hustle or business isn't hard enough, when you start to think about when you need to ask for help and how overwhelming that can be, it sometimes just stops you in your tracks and makes you want to not start at all.

In a recent conversation with Alechia Reese, Chief Brand Strategist of 360 Gateway Brands, we engage in a transparent conversation where we discuss how she started her company, 360 Gateway Brands, how she asks for help and how she uses her current skill set to get to her next level

Even with all of the benefits and excitement around starting a thing of your own, sometimes we can be our biggest culprit by letting the negative self talk and imposter syndrome keep us from starting the things that we really want to do. In this episode, we will dig into the power of Getting Out Of Your Own Head with Jessie Hayes, founder of Skinphorea Facial Bar.

While there are thousands of people who start businesses across the country every year, there are lots of other people who sit on the sidelines wishing for their dreams to come true.
