• This week I’ve got my head down working on the @creativeatheart sales page for Rround 9! I can’t WAIT for you to see all the details when it launches next week. Kat and the whole C@H team have worked so hard to make this round better than ever and I’m so so proud of them! Whose getting ready for Round 9?! Last year, tickets sold out in THREE hours. Which is bananas. And proof of just how amazing this conference is! 💗🎉 #creativeatheart #herestothecreatives #creativeatheartround9 #showit #showiteer (Captured by @sarahdipityphotos)

  • After many requests, we turned our shop system into a Showit Add On Template! And in building it, we figured out a big (yet surprisingly simple) workaround that made all the difference in using Shopify Lite, so we made a brand new training in the Showit Off! Master Class and included the entire series of Showit trainings with each shop template sold. 🎉 True Story: my sweet friend @nelliesparkman asked me if I could create her a shop add on template just after Black Friday. I hadn’t thought of it, but pretty much immediately started creating this template. Since then, we’ve had a strangely coincidental high volume of requests for it, so I knew we were on to something! And like Seth Godin says, “Don’t find customers for your products, find products for your customers!” (Best advice ever 👏) Ready to add products to your @Showit website?

  • Today was a sweet day. We’ve been dreaming about today for a long time and it finally came. There was nothing fancy about it. In fact we didn’t get out of jammies, ate nuked nuggets and leftovers for lunch, and tidied up just like we do everyday. But it was perfect. Blissfully and uneventfully perfect. Because today J and I officially started working as a TEAM! He sat beside me all day as I added the final touches to a new product launching this week and worked through the priority tasks on my list while our babies played in the background with their Jen (aka their nanny that Esley lovingly calls “My Jen” 😍). We’ve been hoping to work together forever and today was the first day. Here’s to a whole lot more of these days beside my best friend with the cutest background noise you ever did hear 💗🎉 (Captured by @sarahdipityphotos)

  • I’m reading @jonacuff ‘s book called Finish (thanks @katschmoyer for the gift!). It’s all about how to actually finish the goals you set out to accomplish. It is a hilarious read and probably filled with lots of advice you wouldn’t expect a goal accomplishing book to give. I like it! And funny enough, today happened just as Jon predicted. . The day after perfect. . This is what he explains as one of the most critical days in finishing a goal. The day that you mess up the perfect plan. 😳 Upon slipping up, most people deem the entire goal ruined and quit. . Ironically enough, I went back on my word no less than 24 hours after publicly proclaiming my biz goals to the world. You see, I’m putting boundaries around my schedule this year. We’ll work Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays while keeping Tuesdays and Thursdays for the family. . I was doing so good until I tuned into a webinar (that was awesome!). And then I checked my email. And then work slipped in. . After I slammed the computer shut in a fuss with myself, I sat there thinking, “Really. I can’t stick to this goal for ONE day?” . Then I realized this is my literal day after perfect. A day I can either let myself off the hook and throw out our plan because I failed, or I can choose to not let the slip up define me. I’m going with the latter. And now I know that I can’t casually attend live online events on non-work days until I’ve gotten a better grip on my self-control 😂 . . I’m sharing my day after perfect because I don’t want you to think I have it all figured out. I’m far from perfect. And while I may have pretty and coordinated images in these squares, it doesn’t mean this is a highlight reel. . I’m also sharing to encourage you tonight. It’s only January 8th. If you’ve messed up already on a goal you’ve set out to do, don’t let perfection win. Keep going. Pick your head up and don’t let a slip up define you. And read Finish while you’re at it! If you haven’t messed up, you will. So just read it, too 😉💗 (Captured by @sarahdipityphotos) . PS: you can read my 2019 biz goals with the link in bio!

  • *Technically* I’m still on break. But I’m really sitting at my desk. I planned for 2 full weeks of soaking in Christmas break and family time. And the 3rd? I planned for this week to be a time to work on some business planning and special project tending. A week to slowly get back into the swing of things without any major deadlines. So today I... . 1️⃣ Actually got dressed. In real pants 😳 and put mascara and earrings on. Even though I don’t plan to leave my house. But I strangely feel like a kid going back to the 1st day of school after Christmas break. I needed a mindset shift and getting ready helped me get back in the land of routines! . 2️⃣ I’ll be writing down my goals. Like actually writing them. I’ve been putting this off to soak in the slowness of break and to pray over what to focus on, but it is time to get them out of my head and on paper. I secretly can’t wait to do this! . 3️⃣ I’m kicking off a brand new year and first day of work with a new mastermind and group call! At the end of last year, @katschmoyer @hopetaylorphotography and I all felt like we needed support in our businesses. We were looking for accountability and strategy and a safe space to dream and take action side by side, so we joined up to do just that in 2019. I CAN’T WAIT to begin and see where this adventure takes us this year. 👑💗🎉 Tip: If you’re looking for people to do business side by side with, just ask! A late night conversation in the hotel after C@H turned into a focused group for us to get the help we needed. It doesn’t have to be perfect or fancy. Pick up the phone and just start somewhere! We’re starting by sharing our goals for the year (hence me really needing to write them down today!) and will figure out the rest later. . Here’s to a brand new year. And maybe a CVS run to get a Lisa Frank notebook for the first day back at my desk a la 1996! 🦄🌈🤩 Captured by @sarahdipityphotos

  • Sometimes the internet feels like a place of let down and comparison. And sometimes it feels like a complete joy! 💗 In just 4 short days, January’s Guide has been downloaded over 1,000 times. That is honestly mind blowing to me. Over 👏 one 👏thousand 👏 people across the world are seeing my work and hopefully feeling encouraged and equipped for their best year in business yet. I broke down my entire planning system to help you evaluate where your business is and then make attainable and profitable goals in this 41 page downloadable guide and workbook that you can get till the end of the month with the link in my bio (before it goes in the shop for good!). Now, if I can only figure out how to get all 1,000 of you offline and in my living room for a planning mastermind and Chicken Minis 🤔😘🎉 Here’s to a meaningful 2019! 🥂

  • We’re doing a somewhat wild and crazy thing: We’re turning our home into an AirBnB! Okay fully crazy! 🤷‍♀️🙈😂 We have a few thoughts about it 👇 . 1) Prepping our home for others to stay is pushing us to live without excess. Whether or not it ever gets booked, there’s something freeing about closets that aren’t JAM packed to the brim. Shelves that are simply open. Drawers that don’t have to hold things. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather spend a whole lot more of my time living and a lot less time picking up alllllll the stuff. . 2) It will get us out of our comfort zone and traveling more often. With 3 kids in tow, it is just plain easier and cheaper to stay home. We hardly ever travel these days, but have committed to doing getaways if we get booked. First up? Take the kids to Disney! While Esley has been, she doesn’t really remember it and 3 is the perfect age for her to go! Next up, hopefully somewhere with a clear blue ocean! 🌊 . 3) Yes we are nuts and have moved 7 times in 8 years... but this isn’t our forever home. We could stay here long term, but we probably won’t. We’re already looking at options for our next move, so paring down the stuff will make that process easier should it happen, too! . A lot of women can’t believe I am cool with moving at a moments notice and literally don’t care about planning... for anything. The truth of the matter is, I have a very high strength of adaptability. I’m a yes and figure it out later kinda person, and I don’t tend to have many routines. I’m also practically unphased by failure. If something doesn’t go right, I either move on or figure out another way to accomplish what needs to get done. Going and doing are just in my blood, and apparently that works out great when you marry a real estate nerd! 😍🏠 Got any tips for us crazy AirBnBers? Like what you like to have for accommodations or if you’ve done it before? Tell me about it! 💗

  • 8 years ago we got hitched and smashed cake on New Year’s Day. I’m glad we’re the kind of people who can’t be serious enough to daintily feed each other dessert on the fanciest night of our life 😂 Love you, J! Happy Anniversary 💗🥂

  • I stayed in pajamas all day and only figured out it was Friday at 6:30pm when I looked it up. 😂 We’ve watched 3 Owen Wilson movies in the last 24 hours and I’m not mad about it one bit. And for the first time in a long time, I got inspired just enough this afternoon to scribble the title, “Calendar Dreamlining” and a few ideas in my journal. Aka what I want my days to look like this year. What I want to fill them with (see the last post for a lot of it!). None of it is final or polished and I abruptly stopped to decorate a horse Kennedy drew with stickers. Because sketches and stickers is where living happens here. Not in perfectly laid plans for living. Anyone else in no hurry with me? #themartinfamilyhome
