  • Hitting the 24 week mark - almost 6 months along!⁠ ⁠ Things I am LOVING right now:⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣ Waffles. It may be baby girl, it may be that we just finished watching all of Parks & Recreation, but I am legit having dreams about waffles. To the point where I wake up immediately after and go downstairs to throw one in the toaster.⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ Designing sales pages. There is something so powerful about seeing all the pieces for a new program launch come together - the offer, the copy, the images.⁠ ⁠ 3️⃣ Skirts, oversized sweaters and leggings. I just got some new clothes that will last me throughout the next 4 months. I made myself a uniform - oversized sweater, leggings, ballet flats. Who needs maternity clothes anyway? Give me all the comfy clothes!⁠ ⁠ 5️⃣ My nursery! Or, the thought of it. @meetingmeredithcreative, my sister-in-law is an interior design fanatic and I handed over the entire nursery plans to her. I have no idea what she’s purchase with our credit card - but I’m so excited to see it when it comes together in a few weeks!✨⁠ ⁠ So there you have it, random things I’m excited about over here. Now it’s your turn: what are you obsessed with these days? Seriously, tell me below!

  • ✨DESIGN TIPS THAT WILL BOOST SALES PAGE CONVERSION RATES - PART 1 [You'll want to save this!]⁠ ⁠ I've been deep into sales pages this past quarter and wanted to share an easy hack so many miss that could be costing sales: ⁠ ⁠ ✨Using a right-pointing arrow when with call to actions or buttons✨⁠ ⁠ An arrow communicates, especially when thinking about user interface design, a next step. ⁠ ⁠ If you can get someone to say “I’m moving forward,” you just helped them say a subconscious "yes" to your offer - aka a microconversion.⁠ ⁠ That little forward arrow adds a bit of anticipation, makes their heart to beat a little faster, and it's visual confirmation that, “Yes, I’m ready to take the next step to learn more about this offer.”⁠ ⁠ When you actually think about it, you know you've felt this too!⁠ ⁠ If you can get someone to have a "mini-yes" enough times, it's more likely they'll say an actual yes and pull out their credit card. 💳⁠ ⁠ Don't forget to save this post as your writing your sales pages! It's a simple tip but one that's easy to forget!

  • This year, I finally took the leap. ⁠ ⁠ I decided to outsource and I feel incredibly blessed to now have a team of women I trust who help me free up my time, work in my zone of genius AND bring in more leads⁠.⁠ ⁠ Which by the way thanks to them - I'm fully booked for the year 2020! 🙊⁠ ⁠ Outsourcing all depends on how your business operates and where you think you need help the most. So these have been the women who've had my back:⁠ ⁠ ➡️An Instagram Manager [@rekindle_communications] who's helped me manage my IG content and my DMs. ⁠ ⁠ ➡️A Pinterest Manager [@wildrootmarketing] who's a Pinterest WIZARD and helped me optimize this platform that has already done so well for me.⁠ ⁠ ➡️And finally a Design Assistant who's helped me with smaller & tedious tasks within large projects. ⁠ ⁠ All so I can focus on what I love and do best - designing brands and websites. ✨ ⁠ ⁠ If you could outsource one thing in your business right now, what would it be?

  • I've taken a few days away from social media and honestly - it was much needed.⁠ ⁠ Social media can be a great place for inspiration. But staring at photo after photo on a professionally managed page for someone making $200K...may not be as helpful. ⁠ ⁠ That's why learning how to turn social media OFF is crucial to your peace of mind as an online entrepreneur.⁠ ⁠ It's easy to say "I'm going to spend less time on social media" but let's be honest, it's easier to pick up your phone whenever you hear a notification. ⁠(Guilty 🙋🏻‍♀️)⁠ ⁠ Setting limitations for phone time has honestly been a huge relief. Not only am I more productive - but I approach social media now with a sense of excitement to engage with others rather than fall into comparison traps.⁠ ⁠ These simple tricks are some of my favorites:⁠ ⁠ 🌟Putting my phone on "Do Not Disturb" Mode during my power hours⁠ 🌟Setting a time in my schedule for being on social (usually around 12pm or my lunchtime will I actually hop on) ⁠ 🌟Putting my phone far away from me while I'm working - sometimes in a different room ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ What tricks do you use to take a break from the mindless scroll?

  • ✨ We’re at 21 weeks - over halfway through this pregnancy! ✨⁠ ⁠ It feels like yesterday when I saw those two pink lines and immediately felt shock, awe and, well, fear. Won’t lie, the fear is still there at times, but it’s mostly been replaced with wonder at who this little person is going to be.⁠ ⁠ Now we have about 19 weeks until we meet our baby girl and all I can think about is how in awe I am that we get to witness this gift.⁠ ⁠ The second trimester has been night and day different from the first - energy is back, no nausea and I started feeling her kick this past week. We just had a 20 week anatomy scan and she is healthy, active and on track.⁠ ⁠ Cravings-wise, all I want is First Watch - specifically an egg sandwich and waffle. At the same time.⁠ ⁠ We’ve got a lot to prepare in my business and personal lives but I’m so excited for this new season in life. 💗

  • Let's talk about online jealousy.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ It's totally normal to compare yourself to others. But when comparison makes you question your worth - that's when we should stop. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ I struggled with this the most when I started my business two years ago. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Something that's helped me overcome this battle is asking myself - "Where is this jealousy coming from?" ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ For me, it was from fear and anxiety. I would get nervous if no one liked what I posted and thought it meant no one liked me.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ When you spend a lot of time online (especially as an online business owner) it's easy to think that it's your reality. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Even now it's easy to get wrapped up in the online space and forget that my worth is beyond who I am on social media.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Identifying where those feelings of jealousy came helped them lose power over me - and they can help you too.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ How do you cope with stepping away from social media?
