Our Big Secret to an Organized and Balanced Workday in Our Small Business

Let me paint you a picture of our lives before Trello! Endless piles of paper, three journals working simultaneously (supposedly with different subject matter in each), scratched out to-do lists (and when they got too messy we would spend time rewriting them). I was in a constant state of panic, like I was going to forget a meeting or a deadline. I worried (even more than normal) that our whole business would fall apart over one missed task.

In the past we used Wunderlist as our project management system. It worked for a time but as our business grew and became more complicated, it ended up like the notepads, one hot mess.

We knew there had to be a better way!

Enter Trello - A free business tool that changed our lives and improved our business. But don't Google anything yet! Trello on its own is a little confusing, but don't worry - we've fixed it.

Biz Graphic Reno: Home Styling Tips that Work for Your Visuals Too

A well-decorated and well-designed home is about so much more than good looks. Your everyday spaces can boost your energy, lift your mood, and promote your overall happiness, not to mention affect your productivity. And, when your home is well organized, you're pretty much unstoppable (or at least that little bit more able to stop showing up late to brunch or your kid’s soccer practice).

On the other hand, a home where the design is less than stellar, a space that’s just a little short of pulled together, has the opposite effect: it can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disorganized, stuck, and beyond frustrated.

How to Create a Stylish Blog for Under $20 Dollars

f you are a gal like me, you like to save that money, honey! I'm so honored to have the opportunity to share to share the secrets on creating a stylish blog for under twenty dollars (yes, it's possible!) with new bloggers.

If you've read my previous post: "The Broke Girl's Guide to Starting a Blog" you may remember me talking a little bit about how I created a really cute blog that cost me the equivalent of what I pay for at Starbucks in a week. Of course going with a pro is always the best option. I got nothing but love for those amazing website developers! But if you want to start a blog and the cash is lookin' a little low, there is a way for you to still have an impressive, user-friendly website on a budget.

Why Pricing Should be the Last Thing You Decide When Selling Courses

We’re gonna start this one out with a mega truth bomb: no one (literally, no one) cares about the price of what you offer. Yet so many of us let this stage of launching our latest products, services or courses hold us up. We learned very early on that the actual number behind what we offered (whether it was photography session, canvases, logo designs, or branding) was the lowest thing on the list of concerns for our buyer. So we put our focus elsewhere.

How to Sell Anything to Anyone, Anywhere

One of our favorite aspects of working with clients was getting to see them in-person while we talked about their project. We loved getting to visualize the end result with them, get them super pumped up about the outcome, and making them feel part of the entire process. So what did we do when we stopped taking on 1:1 clients and worked towards a “1:many” model with “clients” from all over the world?
