📣You are the director of your own life.

A lot of people ask me when they realize I started 3 businesses, “how do I start? I don’t know how to get started and I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing.. What should I do?” 😨

Honestly, you just need to take a leap of faith and just start… 🎬

I didn’t know what I was doing when I started my first company… Google was my best friend- anything I didn’t know, I googled and researched. 📚

And then I just took it one step at a time. 🪜

Then I sought out mentors. Mentors helped to bridge the gap of where I want to be with where I was. 💭

And my motivator in starting my business and to keep hustling EVERY. SINGLE. DAY ? 🧐

I NEVER want to feel regret for what I dreamed of doing but never did, and thinking about the WHAT IFs when I’m in my 70s of what could have been. That’s enough of a motivator to keep pushing me to work hella hard and to not stop until I reach my goals. 🌟

Regrets? That’s one of the WORST feelings you can EVER have. Don’t let your later years be full of regrets and WHAT IFs. 🚫

Think about it- what do you want? And how can you push yourself to take that first step? Write it out, and start working towards it. ✨

News flash- everything in life is hard.

💣It’s hard to start any business.
💣It’s hard to start a new job.
💣It’s hard to move to a new city.
💣It’s hard to have tough conversations.
💣 It’s hard to start new relationships and maintain old ones

It’s hard anytime there’s a new change that is out of your comfort zone. ✨

Heck, it’s even hard to get out of bed on the mornings sometimes. 🛏

Don’t let FEAR stop you from getting started. 🛑

Take a leap of faith and TRUST that there will be a net to catch you at the bottom. Because more often than not, if you are willing to take that first step, you’ll be blown away at the possibilities you didn’t think we’re possible. 💎

START NOW 💫

Having a user-friendly and optimized website can increase conversion rates and build a positive impression of your brand. 🙌

According to Toptal, 88% of users are less likely to return to a website after a bad user experience. 👎

To create a user-friendly experience, here are 6 tips your website should follow:

✨ Be responsive on mobile and other platforms (such as tablet)
✨ Load quickly - ideally less than 5 seconds
✨ Have main links and buttons that are easy to find
✨ Have large and clear fonts for legibility
✨ Have an interesting flow of content that is easy to follow
✨ Allow people to easily accomplish their goals within a few steps (make a purchase, contact you, learn more about services, etc.)

We’ve designed several brand-cohesive, user-friendly and search engine optimized websites to understand what a strong website needs.

What does SUCCESS mean to you?

The other day I was thinking, with how crazy the year has been, what does being successful look like to me this year?

I sat down and thought about all the feelings I've had this year and the moments in which I felt 'successful'. When we think of the word success, it can seem like such a daunting or grand word. Like we can really only use it when we've hit something big. But what if successes are in small steps and small milestones?

One of the most fulfilling feelings I have is when I see the exact lightbulb moment our clients have when they understand a new idea and how to apply it to their business or when they break down a barrier they have. It instantly brings a smile to my face because I see that they've hit an 'a-ha' moment and developed a new insight they hadn't had before and are going to action on it. 🙌

We work with all our clients to move them forward in their business, to strategically align them to bring out the best in their business and to match them with the tools they need. ✨

When I see the TRANSFORMATIONAL and POWERFUL IMPACT in our clients, I get inspired to continue to put 120% effort in what I do! To me, it's not about the paycheck (I have my corporate job in finance for that). I feel the most successful when I know my clients are over the top happy with what I was able to provide them with. I feel successful when they told me their experience working with me has exceeded their expectations. And I feel successful knowing that I am able to support our clients not only during the time of the project, but also afterwards.

What does success mean to you? 😊

We’ve been in business for 10 months now! It’s been an amazing journey so far and we’ve helped many of our clients set up their businesses and brands. ✨Both of us grew a lot as business owners ourselves.

Here are the top 3 lessons we learned since starting our journey:

💡Experiment with your processes and offerings to determine what works best. You won’t know until you try!
💡 Don’t feel discouraged when the results don’t come in instantly - sometimes you just have to wait and see!
💡 Network with other entrepreneurs! You’ll feel very inspired and even get to help each other out

From the lessons we’ve learned, we want to empower our community along your entrepreneurship journeys. 🙌

Entrepreneurship also shouldn’t be a solo journey - if you ever need guidance on building your business, brand and online presence, we’re happy to help! 😊

5 Core Elements of Brand Strategy

In our latest blog series, we share why branding is essential for your success.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When people think about ‘Branding’, generally people immediately link the word to the logo of a company. However, contrary to what most people think, your logo is NOT your brand!✖️

The branding process comes in two main phases - the strategy and the identity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The brand strategy is one of the main foundations of your business. Before even considering your logo or other visual elements of your brand, you want to focus on setting a clear brand strategy, which will set the direction of the brand for your company.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Brand strategy includes:

✨Vision
✨ Target Audience
✨ Positioning
✨ Value Proposition
✨ Messaging

A successful brand conveys a promise and strongly signals to your target audience what they can expect and experience.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Having clarity around the story of your business creates a compelling experience for your customers, helps you make more informed decisions, and differentiates you from your competitors.

Share this with your connections and reach out if you need help with creating a strong brand! 💡
