Building My First AI App (and Why You Don't Need to Be a Developer to Do It)

I’m officially building my first Al app. No code. No hoodie-wearing co-founder. Just me, my idea, a no-code tool called Lovable.dev, and two years of quietly training an Al on everything I know about marketing, messaging, and digital products.

The Hard Reality of Pivoting From Services to Courses or Digital Products

Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by the idea that the only way to really grow your service-based business the way you want to is by pivoting to courses or digital products. Don’t worry, we’ll wait.

It’s a resounding message in the online business world, and it’s an idea that gets circulated through so many service-providers’ brains a hundred times or more. They fall in love with those sexy phrases associated with pivoting to courses, like “passive income”, “work less while making more”, “make money while you sleep”, etc.

5 Ways to 5x the Value of Your Services (Without Increasing Your Time)

When it comes to serving clients, we’re big on making sure you’re providing an exceptional client experience, care, and value through your services. But when you think of the word “services”, what comes to mind? It’s much more than just doing the work that you offer— it also encompasses every aspect of their time with you from onboarding to offboarding.

How Your Enneagram Type Affects Your Life & Business

In the age of Myers Briggs and the Enneagram, personality types have never been more of a topic of conversation in the online business world than they are now. This increased popularity is leading to more talks about strengths and weaknesses, which we think is absolutely wonderful!

Knowing this information about yourself allows you to learn how to leverage those qualities in the way you do business. Not only that, but you’re also able to find business companions that you fit along with really nicely, which can be especially useful when growing a team.

But in what other ways does your Enneagram affect your life and business?

How to Stay Motivated by Making Your Goals Visible

The month of December (a.k.a. the month of goal-setting) is one of our favorite times of the year. Nothing fuels us more than to sit down with each other and discuss our aspirations for what we aim to achieve in the new year. For some reason we’re especially fueled this month, probably because we can’t wait to leave behind the chaos that is 2020 (or soon to be was).

However, a struggle for many of our fellow creatives is actually staying motivated all year long. We know the feeling– you’re pumped to crush your goals while you’re planning them, and you still have the ball rolling through Q1, but then.. it slows down.

And it keeps getting slower.. and slower.. and slower until you reflect on your year, realize how shitty it’s been, aim to change that in the next year, get all pumped up again, and the cycle repeats.

So, how do you break the cycle?

How to 30x What Your Next Photography Client Will Pay You

As photographers we convince ourselves that we all have to go through this same “rite of passage” in order to be legit. It looks something like this:

Get Camera -> Work For Free -> Charge $50 -> What the Hell Happens Next

Most of you are probably in between the “Charge $50” and the “What the Hell Happens Next” stage of business. Maybe you’ve upped that $50 session fee to a *gasp* $150.

So the goal here today is to take you from “I could make more money working at Target” to “Holy sh*t I’m looking at a $2k+ deposit”. Ready?

The Power of Unplugging from Social Media

Do you ever notice how you read one post online about a topic and next thing you know you’re being served up ads or related content out the wazoo? Yeah, the secret that our phones are listening to us 24/7 is out. Although this is fantastic for a personalized ad experience it certainly doesn’t help our already overwhelmed minds. When we sit down to read just one thing, all of a sudden we look up and we’ve zombie-style zonked out, staring at our phone for hours on end.

When this happens it makes us begin to hate our phones. It makes resentful of social media apps that may not be at fault in the first place. So what do we normally do when we feel this way? We shut down completely and never look back. Well, since our businesses rely on the buzz of social media, we can’t leave it for too long.
