Don’t get me wrong. I’m sure we could talk about at least 10 other things that need your attention when you are turning your side-gig into your main-gig, but as someone who made that leap (and sometimes feels as if she is still on a ledge looking down), I noticed 5 areas that really affected me. I’m sharing them with you…
All of our chaos looks different and enters/exits our lives at different times. You may be in free fall because of a change in relationship status, a drop in your income, or your overwhelming and unexpected success that you now have to figure out and manage. There is also the distinct possibility you feel like you’re in free fall because…
Let’s face it. People like pretty. Admittedly, pretty doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone (and I’m grateful for that), but regardless, people like what they think is pretty. When it comes to your brand, the best thing you can do is make it as universally “pretty” as you can. Need help thinking through your “pretty”? I created a little sumthin’…
This is me . . . finding my community. . . my tribe. I’m talking about my peeps that think the way I do. But it’s hard for me to wrap my head around finding people with whom I share common ground if we haven’t defined the ground on which we stand. (Wow, that was dramatic). So, I’m defining the…
Hopefully, we are all familiar with the concept of social cues. You know, the subtle hints that guide conversations and social interactions both personally and professionally? Some people have a hard time with social cues, and, as a society, it’s important that we are patient with each other. However, when it comes to business, I don’t want to you to…

You can have multiple games going simultaneously, so he sometimes asks me for answers and I forget to check who he’s playing before I give him the correct one (I have no shame in sabotaging his game if it means…
After having a fourth baby, (fix your face…it wasn’t that bad), there were times when I would look in the mirror and think . . . something needs to change fast. Unfortunately, slow and steady does the trick when changing your physical appearance, but when it comes to your business, there are some quick fixes you can employ that can make…
When I first started in graphic design, I didn’t tell a lot of people. Maybe it was my confidence level. I didn’t hide it, of course (I was running a business, after all), but I wasn’t sure what people would say. As a result, years into my business, friends would talk to me about needing materials for their event or…
“Extremes are easy. Strive for Balance.” – Colin Wright Ready to define your brand? In this post, I’m not talking about your brand identity (the actual look of your brand). I’m speaking of your overall brand which is EVERYTHING that you do from the way you treat your audience and how you network to how you run your day-to-day operations….
OK…so was I reaching with that title? It sounded a little artsy . . . But based on my experiences both past and present, I feel like it’s quite accurate.
