Hey Friend, This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Danielle LaBonté, a branding expert whose journey to becoming a graphic designer is as inspiring as her advice. While studying art history design in Italy, Danielle had an aha moment while working on her thesis. She realized she didn’t want to write about artists—she was called to be an artist. That calling wouldn’t go away, and it changed everything.   As Danielle puts it, her professor was more passionate about her thesis than she was. That realization led her to do a complete 180—leaving her art history path behind and going back to school to study graphic design. Now, she’s on a mission to help others find fulfillment in their calling and build brands that tell their unique stories.   Because, as Danielle says: "Your brand isn’t just a logo or colors—it’s the story you tell and the connection you build with your audience. Align your business with your purpose, and success will follow."   Here’s what we covered: The foundational branding elements you need from day one The impact of a professionally designed logo on client first impressions How to create a cohesive brand identity (think colors, typography, and style!) Whether a great brand guarantees success—or if there’s more to the equation DIY branding: Is it a cost-saving move or a potential risk? Practical steps to launch a brand that stands out and connects with clients Danielle didn’t just share tips—she shared strategy. If you’re ready to create a brand that speaks to your ideal clients and sets your business apart, this episode is a must-listen.

Hey Friend, This week, I had the pleasure of talking with Crystal P. Sherrill, and her story is such an inspiration! After 17 years in corporate, she realized her gift for organization, strategy, and structure wasn’t being fully used. Feeling creatively stifled, she made the bold decision to pivot and start a service-based business centered around planning, operations, and systems. 🙌🏽 Crystal shared how hitting a standstill in her career turned into the breakthrough she needed. Her journey is a powerful reminder that when one door closes, the right one will open—if you’re willing to walk through it. As Crystal puts it, “Sometimes we can over-spiritualize things… God is telling us to make a move, and we won’t make the move because we’re looking for confirmation after confirmation.” In this episode, we dove deep into the operational secrets that can transform your business. Here’s what we discussed: The 6 critical areas of operations every service-based entrepreneur needs to master How to position your business for maximum impact Why processes and procedures are your secret weapon Practical strategies for building a sustainable, scalable business Key Takeaways That Will Change Your Business: Your business is NOT about you—it’s about serving your audience. Start small: write one process per week. Don’t rush to hire until you have clear processes in place. Treat failures as R&D opportunities. Create clear boundaries and policies from the start.

In today's episode, I am kicking off a four-part series where I'll be answering a question from one of my podcast listeners: "At the foundation stage of a business, what is the most efficient way to structure and design an online service-based business to prevent burnout on the service provider's part while generating enough income to become sustainable?" Starting today, I’ll walk you through the first part of the answer with five key steps to help you build a business that won’t burn you out. Here’s what we’ll cover: Plan your time – How much time do you have for your new online service-based business? Plan your support – How much support do you have for your new online service-based business? How much support do you need? Plan your services + your launch – What services can you offer based on the time and support you have? Plan your burnout recovery – Build in breaks and create a burnout recovery plan. Plan to overcome comparison thoughts – Keep your eyes on your journey. Join me for this episode and stick around for the next three as we dive deeper into setting up a sustainable, stress-free business from day one!
