Are you standing in your own way?!

Do you have a gut feeling of wanting more but you keep pushing it away because “it’s not the right time”

News flash- there’s neanything!

Look back and remember a time where it was HARD- you got through it right?!

To be a winner you must be comfortable with feeling uncomfortable!

You’re never too old to learn. And you’re never too young to teach 🫶🏻

Go out there and prove yourself wrong! You got this!

Do you feel yourself looking at your competitors often?!

We’re all guilty of it. We think we’re not doing as well as they are. We compare our businesses to theirs (only from what we see on social media)

But here’s your reminder- YOU are your biggest competition.

Stop comparing yourself to others. You don’t truly know what they are going through- how their business is doing and so much more.

Keep doing what you do best & your business will shine! 🌟

Today might be a hard day, harder than yesterday & yesterday was probably hard too!

But today is all about what YOU make it!

Staying positive and reminding yourself you CAN do this is the best piece of advice we can give!

No one is coming to help you.
No one will cheer you on more than you will cheer yourself on.

You got this & we are here to remind you, you’re not alone!

We were so honored to have Anne with Rebel Daughter Cookies as our second guest on the podcast!!

The Episode will launch in a few weeks but be sure to give her a follow & see her DELISH jumbo cookie that you won’t find anywhere else!!

*she ships too!!!! 👌🏼🙌🏼

👋 Hi, everyone! To those just joining, I'm Anne. I started RDC out of my kitchen in Nov 2019 when my daughter was 6m and my son was 3 yrs old​​​​​​​​​🍪 As a SAHM in the 'burbs I missed having a creative outlet as much as I missed the big, gooey, chocolate chunk cookies in Chicago and NYC, where I used to live. I mail-ordered cookies from old haunts but was disappointed they'd compromised on ingredients like using fake butter or imitation vanilla extract, or no vanilla at all. After perfecting my OG recipe, I got my commercial kitchen licenses, took a photography course, and built my first website armed with nothing but Google and an insatiable drive to create a national cookie brand made with premium ingredients--no compromises. Today we ship to all 50 states and deliver locally + offer pickup and walk-ins at our storefront at 21 Isaacs Street Norwalk Tues, Fri + Sat 11-4. We donate a portion of sales to some great orgs that share our values: we are pro-human rights, pro-women empowerment, pro-integrity and kindness. It's really that simple​​​​​​​​​
🍪 My mom always called me her Rebel Daughter growing up, and the name felt appropriate bootstrapping a cookie company with 2 young kids when so many people tried to discourage me. I'd finally found my passion and good luck to anyone trying to stop me
🍪 I create all my own recipes through trial + error, inspired by childhood memories and adult flavor profiles. Creative integrity is a core value of RDC, meaning everything I create comes from my own imagination
🍪 I never really "fit in" which is part of what sets us apart. We think life's too short to take onesself too seriously, so if you stick around, you'll see us acting pretty goofy for own entertainment as much as yours

And remember: COOKIES BELONG IN BOXES. Not People.™️ Unless, of course, you visit in NYC by (which was amazing, highly recommend) then of course you need this photo op 😉

Any other HOT messes out there?!

We may look like we have it all together but we’re just over here trying to figure it all out!

I (Jen) recently attended my first Summit with .who.wins. I had so many takeaways from the conference but this quote stuck with me the most.

Social media paints this “perfect” picture sometimes. But this is a reminder we’re all just trying to do our best.

We’ve all been through something that no one knows about, but by you sharing your story & your messages you can make someone else feel no as alone!

Share your story- remind others no one is perfect! We all have something to bring to the table 🤍

The road less traveled is not for the weak!

Remember- You’re on the path most people aren’t on & that’s okay!

What comes with deciding to be great & making a change in your life- also comes with challenges most people don’t have to face.

Want to know the best part? The road less traveled has no speed limit! You can go as fast or as slow as you’d like.

Don’t compare your chapter one to someone else’s chapter 20!

You got this 💪🏼

24/04/2023

Truth 👌🏼

If someone copied you. It means you’re doing something right.

You’re awesome- keep going & don’t let anyone stand in your way!

17/04/2023

Read that again! 👌🏼

If you’re uncomfortable while doing something to grow your business - it means you’re working in the direction of success! 🙌🏼

Success isn’t easy, if it was everyone would be doing it, right?!

Every business has its high & lows. It’s what you do with the lows that will pay off on the end!

Keep going & keep growing. You will thank your future self! 👏🏼

09/04/2023

Read that again! 🙌🏼

Find a hole in the market & find a way to fix it or make it better for your customers.

Jen here- I started my business because I loved hosting events but found myself always asking my guests if I could get them a cocktail or making them a drink and I never got to enjoy my own events.

I felt of this was a problem for me- it must be a problem for others.

Find how you can help others with your product or service & you will find success!

17/03/2023

If you’re not talking about your business who is?!

Any conversation you have, try to bring up your business in an authentic way!

You are your biggest supporter & you should always be representing yourself!

14/03/2023

Daily reminder 👉🏻be authentic in your business!!

Don’t try to show up as someone you’re not, people want the real YOU!

Your client’s & customers want to find a connection where they feel comfortable working with you.

They will buy YOU over your competitors any day!

Build the relationship then make the sale! 🙌🏼

Who doesn’t want to LOVE the vendors they select! It honestly makes the event so much easier for everyone.

Building a connection with your clients & network is the most important aspect as a business owner!

Do you agree?!

Do you agree?!

Most entrepreneurs make it look so easy! Instagram show you the beautiful photos, glamorous trips & so much more!

What it usually doesn’t show you on the ugly behind the scenes.

🤍The late nights
🤍The self doubt & impostor syndrome
🤍Not truly know what the heck you’re doing most of the time, but making sure no one knows that!

The list could go on!

On our podcast we plan to share it all! The good, bad & ugly in hopes to encourage others as well as remind you, you’re not alone!

Tomorrow is launch day & we are so pumped!

Stay tuned 🎙️

Cheers 🥂

Truth- just do it!!

We had been talking about starting this podcast for MONTHS!

Our first excuse was “busy season” then life just happened (you get it right?)

But truly if you don’t just start it will never happen!

We want to use this platform to inspire others!

We’re all busy but I love this quote:
“you make time for the things that you want to make time for”

So here we are! Finally starting our podcast dream!

If Walt Disney was a high school dropout & build his empire- why can’t you?

Your friendly reminder to dream BIG & don’t let doubt hold you back!

We cannot wait to share our fears throughout our business journey.

Self doubt is REAL. We all have it. But always remember, if you continue to push forward and push for your dream 💫 anything is possible!

Hey, I’m Meghan! I’m the owner and photographer of Meghan Ann Imagery.

My love for photography started in middle/high school when I picked up my mom’s DSLR she’d take on vacations. I’d take it out in the backyard and take pictures of plants and my dog feeling accomplished that I could create art in a medium where I didn’t have to use a paintbrush. I’ve always loved and appreciated art but struggled with not feeling good enough to create in the typical ways.

During COVID I realized that I could turn this passion into something that could bring me a deeper fulfillment and also benefit others.

I started my business in 2021 as a side hustle and decided to take it full time after a few months. Since then, I have photographed 32 weddings, 33 engagement sessions, and 1 wedding video! In 2023 I’m projecting to almost double my numbers!

Jen and I have the same drive and mindset to go after our dreams, no matter how crazy they sound!

Join us as we share all the details and steps we took to get to where we are and how we plan to grow 🤍
