🔊CALLING ALL SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS IN NEED OF COMFORTING CHAT WITH OTHERS WHO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH...🔊⁠

Hosted by & ⁠
⁠
====================⁠
⁠
Welcome to our warm and cozy corner of the internet where small business makers, creators and owners can come together to chat about what brings them together: business in 2025 (and maybe also a love of coffee? 😉). ⁠
⁠
We can dabble in, discuss, and maybe help each other out with some of the things which are making business a little bit difficult at the moment.⁠
⁠
This isn’t a masterclass, networking event, or sales pitch—it’s a friendly & supportive safe space where you can be yourself. ⁠Whether you want to brainstorm, bounce around ideas, share a laugh, or even vent about the tough days, this is your place to connect and feel supported. We would love to support you and each other!⁠ 🖤🖤🖤⁠
⁠
⁠
Join us via ZOOM on Friday February 7, 2025, from 10 to 11 AM EST. Let’s connect!⁠
⁠
LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW, OR DM US, AND WE’LL SEND YOU THE LINK TO SIGN UP!⁠

Practicing our boundaries.😂⁠
⁠
As life-long people pleasers, it’s been challenging to learn when to say “no” in business. We definitely don’t have it all figured out, but we’re working on protecting our time and energy for the things that matter most in each season of our business and life.⁠
⁠
Just remember, sometimes “no” is a full sentence.😉⁠

If you’re a small biz owner, solopreneur, or have a side hustle, we bet you’ve got all kinds of creative ideas and plans to make your business a success. But have you got a concrete marketing plan? Do you have clear goals, and a strategy to make it happen?⁠
⁠
When we talk marketing strategy with our clients, one of the first things we ask is about are your specific goals, both big and small. Whether you want to improve your website SEO, get new leads to fill out a contact form, or convert customers so that they click the “buy now” button, it’s important to be specific! Successful businesses are built upon a lot of smaller actions and decisions that help move the dial.⁠
⁠
Big dreams are important, but it’s the small details that will make or break you.⁠😎

Last year we found ourselves doing all sort of projects that weren’t on our original bingo cards for 2024––from project launches to moody photoshoots, to short term social media management, to strategy sessions.⁠🍾🥂

Ugh, it’s a tough time for small business, and especially creative industries (like marketing😳). So, lately we’re just trying to focus on small wins, because the truth is that, in entrepreneurship, even though we’re encouraged to go faster and get things done more and more quickly, it’s actually the slow and steady that wins the race. Small business life is about persistence!⁠
⁠
So, let’s focus on the small wins, and give ourselves a pat on the back for persisting another day. Kudos for any and all of the following tasks that ou may have completed today:⁠
⁠
-posting on socials⁠
-answering emails⁠
-creating proposals/offers⁠
-goal planning⁠
-website updating⁠
-networking⁠
-creating art/products⁠
-mailing orders⁠
-making sales!⁠

One of our FAVOURITE parts of brand photography is capturing the perfect original stock photos and flatlays for our clients. In fact, Kat loves this kind of photography SO much that whenever she’s got her camera out she’s snapping amazing creative pics of the inspiring things around her.⁠

So, in honour of our massive backlog of original stock photos, we’re going to start sharing more of it here! Enjoy our TLC themed “Lookbooks”...starting with “Work Life”...⁠
