One of the BIGGEST pieces of feedback I hear from small business owners is… “I don’t want to talk about my products or business too much on Instagram because I feel like I might be bothering people.” “I don’t want to talk about my products or business too much on Instagram because I feel like I might just be talking about it TOO much.” “I don’t want to talk about my products or business too much on Instagram because I feel like people will get bored with what ...

Most small business owners only have FUN in their business when they are GOOD at what they are working on – when it comes easy, when they see success quickly, when they see results easily, when they feel they are the best of the best at it.Can you relate? Do you naturally have a shitty time when you are bad at something or are learning something new and it DOESN’T come easy to you?Well, let me ask you this… How much more likely would you see results if you had fun with the skills you were shi...
Paying yourself is one of those taboo topics that most people DON’T talk about which is why most people are confused, discouraged, demotivated with their business. The truth is, there’s a big difference once you decide that a potential hobby of yours is now a business. And once you make that decision, contrary to popular belief, it DOESN’T mean that you will automatically make instant money that you get to instantly use on whatever you want in life. Building a business with longev...
Growing a small business comes down to getting your products in front of more people. That’s truly the name of the game. And one piece to that puzzle that will help you get in front of massive amounts of people for the long run is through PR and news media by being featured in gift guides, product roundups, and more.Think of it this way – when you are featured in an article, you get exposed to the audience that reads that article for the long run. If someone is looking for a Mother’s Day gift...

One of the biggest struggles that I hear from small business owners is that they can sell their products pretty easily at markets when they are physically there to talk about their products and let the customers touch, smell, feel, see, and try the products in person... And at the same time, they struggle to get ANY online sales simply because the customers aren't able to experience that same things that they do in person.Have you ever had that thought?Here’s the truth – your products sh...
