Hiring a designer for your brand isn’t as simple as going with the first person that comes your way. Or the first person you see. 

What if they don’t understand the direction you want to go?

What if they don’t listen to your feedback?

What if they give you the runaround?

What if, what if, what if ….

Let me ask you this.

What if by letting go of the need to be in control of your brand image, you end up scaling faster than you can blink?

What if having someone else take the reins means you have more freedom to be in YOUR zone of genius AND BONUS, you get to have MORE time with family.

Check out today's episode and let me walk you through how to hire a Graphic Designer for your branding projects.

Until next time, STAY AMAZING!

Your website is more than just a place to store information; It's a first impression. A website gives you credibility and makes you appear legit. That said, I see one very crucial strategy overlooked. Your website should act as part of your team. It should be working for you. It’s really hard to have a high performing website without implementing this one strategy.

Tune in as I explain how the #1 Overlooked Strategy in Building a Website can Transform your brand and help you convert MORE viewers into fans and paid clients.

YO MOMMA! This one's for you. All the things I wish someone had told me 9 years ago when I was caring for my infant twins, going to bed at 12am and getting up at 3:30/4 for the first 2 years of my boys' lives.

Transitioning from that to potty training, going to bed until 10 pm and still getting up at 3:30/4. Having nap time stop cold when they reached age 2. Feeling like I was drowning and unable to ask for help.

My days consisted of simply surviving. Dreaming of the day I could say that I had done it; I was a business owner. Feeling massive mom guilt for wanting to be anywhere but at home raising my kiddos.

I am sharing with you the SUPER raw, truth.

A behind the scenes look at what I went through as a young mother of twins. I was barely 24. My life then vs. My life now.

Think about where you are at right this moment. Now think about where you were 3-6-12mo ago. Could you honestly say you were ready to handle life as you currently know it? 

I know for a fact that I couldn’t ….

I started my business in 2010 but it wasn’t until I invested in myself that I started to rise. You can’t get where you want alone. You have to STOP spending time and money on DIY-ing things that are not in your zone.

I get it, it's dang scary to invest in something that costs more than you can comfortably afford. Not to mention the fear around “what if it doesn’t work for me”. I was there too.

2 years ago I took the leap and invested in a coaching program. 

I had never considered paying for a “life coach”, but I wasn’t making consistent revenue and I was stuck not knowing how to move forward. So on a whim I signed up for a free 5 day challenge in a FB group that I saw advertised that was designed around how to level up in both life and business. In the class the instructor was giving away a free 30min 1:1 consultation with herself. 

If you want to know more and hear how the story ends, Tune in to today’s episode.

WARNING: I get brutally honest in this episode because it's not about how pretty your brand is, the real question is: are you attracting and repelling the right clientele … I made this mistake in my own brand about a year ago. I was designing it for myself and wasn’t attracting the clients I actually wanted. I realized it was because my graphics, while good, were not resonating with the audience I wanted. I had to change them and STOP designing for myself. That meant I had to [do the work], get inside my clients head and look at what I had from her perspective. It’s not enough to just have pretty, or ‘good’, if it’s not resonating, it’s doing you a disservice.

Until next time, STAY AMAZING!

Who Doesn’t Love a Good Origin Story? I mean the Avengers wouldn’t be any good without the origin stories right. It’s what makes them so awesome! I thought I would share my story and how I got into this whole graphic design thing AND why I chose to stick with it after first trying to be a wedding photographer. I decided to start my own business in 2010, but it got put on hold when I became a mother in 2011. The break lasted about 5 years, when my twins were in kindergarten I finally had time to dive back in and here we are today.

Listen in as I take you on a wild ride of how I went from fighting imposter syndrome, had Kelly Roach call ME! (Like legit, on the phone, called me) and how I got where I am today.

Have you ever thought to yourself “man, I really need some help, but I just don’t know where to begin looking or what to even get help on”. That was me not long ago. I knew to scale my business I would need to outsource the tasks that didn’t need done by myself. It took me a hot minute to figure it all out but when I did my business moved forward faster than I was expecting. It may feel uncomfortable to spend the cost you’re not making but think about all the $$ you could be making by having outsourced the tasks you personally don’t need to be involved in. Grab your Coffee and listen in as I explain more.

I totally just want to cry right now, crawling into my covers and hiding from the world. I made a HUGE mistake in my business and it jacked me up. Anxiety for 8hrs, can’t sleep, my body is a mess, all because I chose to take on a project that I shouldn’t have. Life throws you curveballs right, but it’s how we handle those setbacks that make all the difference in whether you progress or degrees. I am sharing why I had this massive shame spiral and how I pulled myself through it. It’s ugly, it’s raw, but it’s real and I wanted to share this experience I went through in the hopes that it will inspire you to take a breath and then have the courage to rise through it.
