This week was a tough week for me. It was hard to get up early, push through the days, and doubt creeped up.

It happens, especially when you're on a journey to find yourself and grow a business.

I'm being the most vulnerable to show people pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is really uncomfortable and at times you may doubt your strength to move forward, but you have to push through to see what's ahead.

So today, if you feel doubtful and uncomfortable about your journey just know these are signs of growth.

You're growing and it's time to embrace it.

Happy Friday! ❤

"Love yourself first, so that others can learn how to love you too."

This was the best advice I received from my dad. I will never forget this advice he gave me many years ago, when I was just a young, naïve little girl who knew nothing about relationships and selflove.

Everyone around you have the expectation of you loving and caring for others, but no one talks about how impactful it is for you to selfishly love yourself first.

If you love yourself, others will love you the way you deserve to be loved.

If you love yourself, you will know what you deserve and won't settle for anything less.

If you love yourself, you will learn how to truly love others the way they want and deserve to be loved.

If you call this selfish, then yes, I'm selfish. ❤

Always continue to learn and educate yourself. I am not a financial advisor or tax advisor but I learned something new today on this webinar.
Did you know you're income is taxed at the lower bracket and once you surpass the bracket the excess amount is taxed at a higher rate? To reduce tax payments, think about using the excess amount and put it in a tax free or lower tax payment account.

Even in adversity, persevere.
This means so much to me. Even when you think nothing else can go right, find a solution, and persevere. There were so many times perseverance was the only thing I can count on.
If you feel like you have no other options, know there is always another route. You must search for it and follow through to make it happen.
I'm rooting for you. ❤️

This is not a bragging post. I'm here to educate you on the importance of showing up and marketing your business correctly when your customers or clients are looking for your service, guidance or products.
Within a week of launching my client's new program, we were able to generate 27 leads, which is a potential of $162,000 worth of sales.
This is not because we decided to run ads all the sudden, or that we decided to post more in a week.
It's all because we've been intentionally posting organically and running ads for the past 5 months. SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING AND ADVERTISING takes time, takes work, hard work, intentionally planning, strategically posting educational, creative, and entertaining content to grow your audience.

Have you ever seen a business selling something on Facebook or FB Live and you were thinking about purchasing that one item from them but decided not to at that moment. Then a few weeks later you're searching for that business and they're no where to be found?
BUSINESS OWNERS, this is why you need a retargeting strategy. Your ideal customers may have seen you once, and haven't seen you enough to buy from you. But when they are ready to buy, YOU NEED TO SHOW UP!

This year I promised myself it was my year. My year to focus on loving me, taking care of me, enjoying me, caring less about what people thought of me and caring more about what I thought of myself.
Life is not a journey you take on for others, but a journey you take on for you. No one else can make this lifetime any greater for you, unless you do it for yourself.
I encourage you to be courageous and live your best life. ❤️
