032: What We Did Right & Wrong with Hosting Workshops Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

We've been hosting workshops for 2 years now and in that time we have learned a lot. We've done a lot of things right and a LOT of things wrong. Like way wrong. Like mess up wow can't believe we did that wrong. In today's episode we shoot it to you straight and get real. We're not perfect and we've learned a ton in the past few years of hosting live events. There's SO much that goes into planning an in person event that most people don't think about.

030: How To Say No When It's Not The Right Fit Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

Who out there is a notorious people pleaser? Does the thought of saying the word NO make you wanna hide under the covers and shut off all the lights?

We often end up saying YES to everything in an attempt to please everyone often at the expense of our business, friends, family, and life. When we say YES to everything, this means we are saying NO to something.

When you say yes to a client who you know doesn't 100% fit with your business, you're saying NO to peace of mind in the future. If you're saying yes to a business opportunity that looks flashy in the moment, you're saying NO to time spent with family later. So many of us KNOW we need to say no more often, but few know where to even start.

NO isn't a dirty word. It's a word that when utilized WELL, brings SO much peace and freedom to your life and business. So keep listening to find out HOW to tackle the scary word… NO.

029: Hand Lettering and the Power of Encouragement with Jenessa Wait Apr 02, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode we had the pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Jenessa Wait whom we've been OBSESSED with for years now. She is a hand letterer who has built an online print shop filled with beautiful designs, bible verses & powerful quotes. She not only sells prints in her shop but home decor items such as pillow cases, journals, mugs, calendars, and lots more. Jenessa is a wife, designer, creative and speaker who believes that encouragement and truth have the power to change the way we live. She started her hand lettering journey in 2015 as a hobby and it quickly turned into a business as well as a way to bring encouragement into people's lives and homes. She has a strong passion to impact the way people think about who they are and what they're destined for. When she's not creating, her and her husband pastor a young adults group at a local church in Austin, TX where they reside.

Jenessa's heart is so beautiful and in our interview we touch on topics like how to get started finding your style as a calligrapher, how she started her online shop, getting out of your comfort zone, using your business to encourage people, and what to do if you struggle with feeling like you're not creative enough.

028: How to Foster Community in a Cut Throat Industry Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

Have you ever heard the term community over competition? Today we're taking a deep dive into what that term really truly means. We chat about the difference between community and competition, why fostering a spirit of community will bless your life for years to come, and why fostering a spirit of competition will crush you in the long term for both your mental health and business. We are giving you three practical ways to cultivate a healthy community and make that a part of your life.

As an entrepreneur, it can get SO lonely. When we let that spirit of competition run our lives and businesses, it's like being a tall isolated silo or fortress on a mountain. Do you want to have success in your life but then look around and have no one to celebrate that with? NO. So if you're struggling with jealousy, comparison, feeling the pressure of competition, and deeply desire to have a support system and community around you, we hope you are blessed by today's episode.
