In this episode, Emily and Sarah discuss the distinction between the roles
of "boss" and "employee" in their small businesses. They talk about how
each role has different tasks, goals and motivations, and why separating
them in your mind can actually help you be more productive and feel happier
in each role. They also talk about how to figure out if you wear the "boss"
or "employee" hat more -- and how to achieve a healthier balance between
the two.

to their audience and to embrace sharing more of who they really are. This
episode is an inspirational listen for anyone who's felt uninspired or
anxious about sharing online or worries about how your audience perceives
you.

Our last episode of the season! Thank you so much for following along with
us in this first season of Scrap Paper! We've learned a ton and have had so
much fun along the way. Thanks, Scrappy Babes!
In this episode, we're talking all about goals. What goals are (hint: not
to-do list items), why they're important, and how we can use the data we
have and/or our intuition to set them. We use this episode to map out our
goals for the 4th quarter of 2017 and 2018 as a whole. We hope this episode
will inspire you to think of goals as big dreams that you're going to do
the work to actually achieve!

Money is one of those uncomfortable topics that we rarely want to talk
about. Despite that -- and maybe because of that -- getting real about
money is one of the best things we can do to propel our business. In this
episode, we get real about pricing (especially when you're first starting
out in a product-based business), how to know when and what to invest in
for your business, and how our personal money stories can shape the way we
treat our businesses. This episode contains practical advice about making
money in your business, and also served as a bit of a therapy session for
Emily and Sarah as they discuss their own hang-ups about money.

This episode is all about the delicate balancing act between how we're
perceived online and how that perception influences the way we interact
with people. In the world of Instagram, sharing about yourself online can
bring about a sense of intimacy with your followers -- which is a good
thing! But sometimes that intimacy can lead to situations where you feel
like your boundaries are being crossed or a follower/potential customer is
asking too much of you. How do you handle that?

We spend this episode getting real about social media, specifically
Instagram. Our theory is that everyone comes to social media wanting
connection, but sometimes our ego gets in the way. We chat about how we so
often equate our self-worth with our social media presence, how we really
feel about our number of followers, and toeing the line between creating
content that’s post-able and creating content because it’s post-able. We
hope this episode speaks to your woes about social media and helps you feel
a little less alone in the #instastruggle. Don’t forget: you’re more than
your numbers.
