What if taking a break from Instagram could actually transform your business strategy? Join me as I share my personal journey of stepping away from Instagram for two years, only to return with a strategic vision and a clear purpose.

In this episode, I discuss my experiences with Instagram as a marketing tool for my business. I emphasize the importance of cultivating genuine connections over garnering thousands of followers and share my plans to limit my screen time on Instagram and explore other platforms, like Pinterest.

Listen to part 1. HERE.

Hey everyone, Ever feel like your day is a whirlwind and you wonder where all your time went by bedtime? In this episode, we're diving into the secrets of mastering your time with a holistic approach. Reflecting on my journey running an indie yarn shop, I realized the chaos of constant busy work and the importance of focused, mindful time management.

I'll walk you through five steps to gain insight into your current time usage and practical exercises to improve it. We'll cover everything from tracking your time with a bullet journal to setting clear intentions. Plus, I'll share wisdom from Oliver Berkman's book "4,000 Weeks," which reshapes how we view productivity. By the end, you'll have tools to balance your work and personal life better. Don't forget to share your insights with me—I love hearing from you all. Let's create a pattern shift in your life and business!

In this episode, I discuss the importance of goal setting for creative entrepreneurship. Drawing parallels between goal setting and preparing soil for a garden, I emphasize the need for alignment with personal values and decision-making to drive business success.

I introduce a step-by-step approach to goal setting, starting with personal goals before transitioning to business goals. Practical exercises and worksheets are provided to encourage entrepreneurs to integrate personal and business values into their goals for greater clarity and effectiveness.

Highlighting models like SMART, GROW, and WWHW, I emphasize specificity, measurability, achievability, relevance, and timeliness in goal setting. Through examples across various business aspects, I demonstrate how goals can be tailored to individual needs and values.

I wanted to do an episode about Etsy and if it is worth starting your own website, when I went to Threads to do a callout for craft business that have ideas about this, I saw a post by a printmaker. This post inspired my episode. Sometimes you don't know where to start and the business roadmap is completely unclear. I hope that I can make it a bit more simple with this basic roadmap.

I was moved and frustrated by the ever-returning struggles of small creative businesses. So in this episode, I'll guide you through the fundamental steps of building your own business in a simple and straightforward manner. While these steps may seem basic, they provide a solid foundation for anyone embarking on their entrepreneurial journey. My aim is to boost your confidence and highlight areas where you may need further education or information.

Hey lovely listeners! Today's episode is all about shifting the mindset in selling. I've got some nuggets of wisdom to share on making the whole process feel authentic and, dare I say, enjoyable! Stick around for tips, personal anecdotes, and a sprinkle of humor.

I spill the tea on transforming your approach to selling. It's not about pushing for money; it's about serving and sharing your passion. The key is understanding your audience's needs and authentically connecting with them. From dealing with nerves to choosing the right platforms, I share personal insights and practical tips. Learn from my adventures on Instagram and get a sneak peek into my upcoming Pinterest journey. Celebrate wins, big or small, and use feedback to continually refine your approach. Remember, selling isn't icky when it aligns with your values and feels like an extension of your genuine self.
