Throwback - Episode 43 - Rolling with the Punches and Staying Positive Aug 14, 2018

Show notes

Hey Rebels! In this throwback episode Caroline and Kelly talk all about rolling with the punches and staying positive while running your biz! Don’t let changes freak you out! Caroline and Kelly are here to help! Most important, you really need to be a positive part of the community! The Ecommerce world is always changing. Changes are a part of life and will continue to happen -- embrace the changes! If a platform makes a change, ask for help! The best advice is to go directly to the source. Ask yourself how you can make your shop better with the new changes. Be sure you are on the inside of the platform you belong to! Sometimes our shops take a big hit from changes, but we have to work through the changes, figure out how you can fix it, and bounce back. Stay positive rebels, complaining is not the solution!

Quote Love from Caroline & Kelly

Always have a positive attitude, keep your eyes forward and keep going - Kelly

No matter what platform you’re on, you have to put in the work - Caroline

Instead of fighting changes, use those changes to grow & evolve your business - Caroline

When a platform makes a change, take a deep breath and take 15 min - Kelly

About Kiffanie:

Hi! I’m Kiffanie Stahle, but you can call me Kiff.

I’m the friendly legal eagle behind the artist’s J.D.

I’m also a photographer, fellow creative business owner, and lawyer living in Oakland, California. The law fascinates me. That’s the reason I went to law school, started my own law practice, and love practicing law.

If you hand me a contract, I’ll go off in a corner, read it, and break down all the things wrong with it. In my free time, I’ll perform a Google search on different kinds of contracts to learn how other attorneys structure them and figure out what not to do. (Yep, I’m a nerd.) I also spend hours translating contracts from legalese to regular ol’ English to help my clients.

What makes me different than most lawyers, is that what started as a fun hobby has grown to define who I am and how I interact with the world. That little hobby is photography. I started taking photographs way back when shooting film was the only option. Back then I used a Brownie camera, but now I’ve graduated to a mix of film and digital cameras.

I still try to take photographs every day. But since 2011 I’ve also been helping artists and creative entrepreneurs in my law practice. Practicing law has solidified my passion for teaching the creative community about the law. And providing you resources that empower you to tackle and understand the legal aspects of your creative business.
