Lessons Learned from the Self-Employed: Planning to take your business or blog full time?

Lessons Learned from the Self-Employed: Planning to take your business or blog full time?

Ever since launching our Lesson's Learned Series, we've been getting more and more questions over entrepreneurial and blogging topics. Which is honestly amazing because we have been so excited about this series. It makes me feel like a teacher again. Whether it's consulting with other aspiring entrepreneurs or speaking at various marketing tech conferences, it's inspiring to see how many women are wanting to become their own boss. However, there's been one question that continues to pop up: "How Do You Know When To Take Your Blog (or business) Full Time?".  Ah — kind of a loaded question, right? But extremely valid and one worth discussing. So here's my take. ...

Lessons Learned from the Self-Employed: Financial Responsibility

Hey guys! We are back with the second edition of our Lessons Learned from the Self-Employed series.

What I Learned From Losing My Instagram Account

What I Learned From Losing My Instagram Account

As most of you probably know, my Instagram/Facebook accounts were temporarily disabled for a few weeks earlier this month. It came out of the blue; I was literally waking up on our trip in Aspen and went to check my IG...when I realized I couldn't log in. Cue my freakout and confusion since social media is a huge part of my job. Right away I texted my team, and they were having the same issue with my account - no one could log in, and I had pretty much no info as to why except for a vague email saying my account had been disabled. ...

What I’ve Learned About Grief in the Past Year

What I’ve Learned About Grief in the Past Year

2018 was one of the best years of my life, and it was also one of the most difficult. From exciting moments like moving into our new house and growing our team to, of course, finding out we were going to have a baby this spring, there were some life-long dreams happening. But with the devastating loss of our dear Lucy (our 2.5 year old French Bulldog) and going through a miscarriage, it was also a year that felt lonely, sad, and extremely heavy. There were many times that it was hard to focus on all the things that were going "right" when we were dealing with such loss. ...

10 Before 10:00 AM: My Morning Routine

10 Before 10:00 AM: My Morning Routine

I don't know what it is about knowing people's morning routines, but I love reading about them. And recently I read about 10 things to be more productive in the morning and was really intrigued by that process. Whenever a fellow blogger, or even a friend, shares what they do to get ready for the day, I'm all ears. We all do things a little differently and I think there's something to take away from all the various routines people have - don't you think? ...
