  • When I got the emailed I squealed. Yep, I did a little boogie in my seat 💃🏼 and immediately texted two people — Matt and my mama 😂😆

Since I started by biz almost eight years ago I’ve joked that the photography community “adopted” me. I don’t own a camera. I know nothing of shooting + editing + culling ... yet some of my CLOSEST friends are photographers and now over 50% of my clients are photographers!!! 📷 I might not now the technical side of photography, but I know BUSINESS. And I LOVE talking to photographers about that very thing!!!! 💯 This year, I am HONORED to be keynoting at one of the creative photography communities leading conferences. I’ll be up on that stage talking about one of my FAVORITE things — quarterly planning 🗓— and I’m already looking forward to hugging old friends, making new ones and venturing across the country with Matt (... we might leave the babies behind 😬🙈🙌). I can’t believe I get to share the stage with some of my closest friends and mentors (pinch me) and am ready as ever for in person community + education + connection!!!! 🥰 If you’re a photographer, take a look at @showitunited !!!! Registration opens Friday (5/14) and I’d LOVE to see you there!!!! (PS. Will you be there?! Tell me in the comments!) 🙃

  • Unpopular opinion — STOP FEELING GUILTY ABOUT HUSTLING. ❌
.
I don’t like the word “hustle” because I think so many give it a negative vibe. 😬
.
But in my almost 8 years as a soloprenuer, I’ve learned that hustle is a reality for SEASONS and right now, this is hustle time. 💃🏼
•
Late nights, early morning, long work days, refilled coffee, lots of to-do lists on my Trello boards.... but y’all ... I’m EXCITED and FIRED UP about the hustle work I’m doing!!!!! 💯 This is GOOD work for a GOOD purpose. Blessings from God, bounty for my business.
•
Do I have workaholic tendencies? YEP.
Do I have to catch myself from falling prey to a scarcity mindset? YEP.
But here’s the thing... not ALL work is bad work. Not ALL hustle is bad hustle. Sometimes it’s just the REALITY of what we do + who we serve + the season we are in.
•
Here’s a tip — if I see those unhealthy tendencies surfacing.... if I feel the weight of “hustle” and that guilt sink in — I give myself a deadline. 👉 I CREATE the season. I say “this is HUSTLE season and it’s gonna end ____.”. 👏👏👏 I carve out time TO hustle just like I carve out time to REST (or try to 🤪).

Hustle is a blessing. Hustle means HARVEST is coming. Sweat and toil will provide FRUIT in the end. I’m blessed by this work and can’t wait to see the fruit from it!!!! 💗  If that’s you, too, KEEP GOING! Hustle for that fruit. Work HARD and work A LOT when NECESSARY. Let’s stop feeling guilty for good work done. 💗 | 📷 by my sweet friend @valleygardenco !!
