Look at this little nugget! She’s so much bigger Look at this little nugget! She’s so much bigger now. 😍 The circles under my eyes are bigger, too. 

If you’ve ever wondered if you could snap that “daily routine” into place of ...
✅ early wake up 
✅ hit your stand goal
✅ practice gratitude and immense joy
✅ AND practice deep calming breaths 

... have a baby 😉

What’s changed for you in the last 6 months?

I’m stubborn. Like, really stubborn. I love to figure things out on my own. 

I’ve spent years googling and teaching myself business practices, marketing ideas, brand trends, and tech solutions.

Eventually I got tired. Of all the things. But especially doing it on my own. 

Since then, I’ve invested in my team. I’ve invested in my education. I’ve invested in courses and training. I’ve invested in coaches to help me. And I’ve grown so much more (personally and financially) from making those investments. 

So this 6 month Collective I’m launching isn’t just another “business coach with a high end package.” 

This is a well thought out, tiered approach to support to help you get what you need. This is over 14 years of knowledge you’re tapping into ... 
🚀 coaching (in which I’m formally trained)
🚀 graphic design (in which I’m formally trained)
🚀 web design (which I taught myself early on and have a team who is formally trained)
🚀 and marketing (which I did for companies for years)

You’re working with a guide and you’re investing in a container where you get to ask questions, get answers, tap into training, and accelerate your progress. 

You can do what I did for years and figure it out yourself. 

Or, you can click the link in my bio and save your spot in the Collective! 💕
You’re doing better than you think you are. I You’re doing better than you think you are. 

I have weeks where I find myself saying similar things to people in my life - clients, friends, my husband. This was the phrase this month. 

You’re doing better than you think you are. 

And I meant it every time I said it. 

It’s always amazing to me how when we’re struggling in some way, we don’t realize how well we’re really doing. Sometimes you’re in the middle of the struggle but you don’t realize that the action you’re taking is creating momentum for you to break through. 

In fact, they say that often people give up just as they’re about to break through. Sometimes you just need someone to reflect back to you how well you’re actually doing in the moment to really see it. 

I’ve been there many times. And, that one of the huge reasons why I created the Daily Momentum Business Collective. 

To provide a space where business owners can talk about the struggles, the excitement, and the breakthroughs of entrepreneurship. It’s not for the faint of heart! You’re not alone! 

This is the place to work through marketing + growth strategy, learn from experts, share your frustrations, and connect with other business owners. 

I've been getting a ton of great feedback and questions about the Collective. If you have questions, drop them in the comments or DM me! 

And, of course, if you want to join us or learn more, click the link in my bio for more details about the Collective!

When you are putting everyone else's needs above y When you are putting everyone else's needs above yours for a long period of time, here is what happens: 
❌ You lose passion and excitement around your work. 
❌ You feel exhausted 
❌ You're resentful of your time working
❌ You dread Mondays

I see you. Working hard every day. 
 🪄 Post I see you. 

Working hard every day. 

🪄 Posting. 

🪄 Showing up. 

🪄 Figuring out this entrepreneurship thing day by day.

I've also heard you.

😤 Expressing your confusion and frustration with a saturated social market.

😤 Sharing your overwhelm after taking webinars and classes from marketing gurus.

😤 Sharing your dreams for abundant, stable income.

😤 Telling me about your fears and limiting beliefs when it comes to your success.

You are not alone.

I'm behind the scenes with business owners every week. I hear the same things - being a business owner can be a raw, real, and sometimes lonely experience. 

What my heart aches to explain is that SO MANY other business owners are going through the same growing pains, self doubts, and struggles as you. 

You’re not failing if you’re struggling. 

And you don’t have to celebrate alone when you have a big win either! 

I’ve been a part of groups and served on coaching teams over the last 14 years. Some were amazing and some just so-so. 

For me, the most impactful thing has been having a community of people around me who could hold space for me. Then encourage, challenge, and celebrate me in all the seasons of business ownership.

So, I am beyond excited to share that I have created what has been tugging at me for YEARS. 

Funny how those little ideas stick around, huh?

I'd like to introduce you to the Daily Business Momentum Collective.

The Collective is for holistic and creative business owners. Within each level is access to training courses, guest experts, and community and private coaching.

The Collective is a space to gather feedback, work on marketing strategies, and share the vulnerable aspects of growing a business.

The Collective gives you access to the level of support you need, at a budget you can afford, with community and coaching at the center of every option.

Looking for a coach who focuses on life balance as much as marketing strategy? We may just be kindred spirits.

I would love for you to consider joining us. Want to learn more? Click the link in my bio!

I LOVE THIS QUOTE Isn’t it beautiful?! Strength I LOVE THIS QUOTE

Isn’t it beautiful?! Strength of force. We all need the strength of force in our business goals as well as our life goals. The best news is that the strength you need is gained by simply adding motion to your goal.

My questions to you are: 
💓 what is your goal?
💓 what motion have you given to your goal?
💓 what actions are you taking to get that motion going? 
💓 are your words and your actions matching?

Cheers to creating daily momentum!

Throwback to the time I was a woodland fairy for a Throwback to the time I was a woodland fairy for a day.

When I was little, I used to play in the woods behind my house. I’d explore crystal lagoons (puddles), chase fairies (bugs), and climb trees (well, trees). 

So when this photoshoot opportunity with @caratruitt came along a few years back, I agreed immediately!

If I had an alter ego, this would be it. Nature is absolute favorite place to be. I love to play in the woods. My nervous system calms. My imagination runs wild. 

Where do you let yourself play? Where do you feel most calm and at ease? Do you gift yourself time there enough?

To niche or not to niche Many business owners re To niche or not to niche
 
Many business owners resist choosing a niche. 

You’re scared of 
🙈 being boxed in
🙈 of turning away customers
🙈 offending someone not in the niche

Sound familiar? 

These worries are super common!

But I have a secret for you.

Niching down actually creates MORE growth in your business. My unique approach to creating a niche gives you focus while still allowing you to expand and create more business in different areas over time.

Don’t be afraid to get specific up front so you can find ...
🦄 long term focus
🦄 quick wins early on
🦄 practice connecting to ideal clients
🦄 streamlined marketing

We all come full circle. It’s funny isn’t it We all come full circle.

It’s funny isn’t it how some dreams just don’t let go? 

Year after year, you find yourself exploring new options to accomplish that daydream that just won’t move on.

Five years later and you’re still flirting with the possibility of starting that business idea you’ve been making eyes at. 

Don’t ignore your passions. Your inner purpose. Your dreams. 

They find a way to bubble back up to the surface.
They’re tenacious. 
They’re hungry.
They’re needy.
They will not be ignored. 
They will not be fulfilled with distractions.

Find a way to feed them. Explore them. Fulfill them. 

You’ll be fueling your own creativity. Satisfaction. Joy. And success.

✨ This is what creates momentum. ✨ Progress I ✨ This is what creates momentum. ✨

Progress IS happening. 

Have you ever felt that you wished you were further ahead?

When you're learning something new, it's really easy to feel like you're behind or to wish that you were just "there" already. 

Please don't forget that you're learning and growing and progress IS happening. 

Consider the last time you ... 
💫  lost (or gained weight)
💫  saved money (or create debt)
💫  fell in (or out of) love

When small actions are being taken every day, progress is happening. 

Those connections you're making are planting seeds. 

Those posts you're making are increasing your visibility. 

Those classes you're taking are building your education. 

Keep a balance of learning and action and before you know it, the big results show up. Trust that those little actions, when taken consistently, are moving you toward big results. 

Looking for accountability and a community to grow with? 

Check out the link in my bio to learn more about the Daily Momentum Business Collective. This is brand new and I am SO stoked to announce it! 🔥 The Collective is a space held for you to grow your business, learn, and connect with other entrepreneurs.  We launch in March - I’ll be sharing more very soon but check out the link if you just can’t wait! ✨

So very in love with my new branding photos from @ So very in love with my new branding photos from @elizabethaimages 😍

Stay tuned for MORE of me in the coming months. Elizabeth helped me bring more color and vibrancy to my photos in this round of brand photos. 

I’m stepping out of my comfort zone to become more visible, more vibrant, and to stand out. This is a big shove out of my comfort zone, friends. 

I’ve always been the wallflower. The quiet one. The “underground coach.” The introvert (unless I knew you). 

You may not know that I have over two decades of creative background, a cheeky sense of humor that borders on dad jokes, a passion for businesses and the people behind them, and a serious interest in all things holistic and personal growth. 

Elizabeth helped choose a location with pops of color, vibrant textures, and a whimsical atmosphere. 

I’m in love with how they turned out. I’ll share more in the coming weeks.

Business does involve some trial and error. That's Business does involve some trial and error. That's just a fact.

A word of caution on trial and error though. 

You may encounter some fear around moving forward because you want everything to be perfect.

Having a business is a beautiful thing because you can change when you’ve exhausted your direction and see where you need to shift. 

I encourage you to test a niche. Give it your all. Line up your intentions and your actions. 

As you move forward, pay attention to whether your marketing is resonating or not. 

If it does, fantastic! You can master that niche and then expand into a new micro-niche with a similar offering when you feel ready. 

If it isn’t resonating with you personally or with your audience, then it’s time to course-correct.

It’s ok to struggle and shift. 
It’s ok for it not to be perfect.
It’s ok if you subconsciously doubt yourself. 

But you owe it yourself to try!

Trust your timing.
Accept the struggles and learn.
Help your imagination see your confidence. 
Get out there and connect with your people.
Grow, baby, grow!

Is 2021 your year? It's no secret I'm into all t Is 2021 your year? 

It's no secret I'm into all the things that build daily momentum over here at Momentum Coaching. I've been cooking up some super tasty ways to inspire your growth, provide education, and amplify your motivation. 

I've found myself having lots of conversations with my clients about the balance between life and business - specifically, how you can't separate the importance of balance in both areas! 

We've coached through ...

👉 the effects of burn out (aka what happens when you take care of your clients over yourself!)

👉 how to have sales calls (aka authentic conversations for you to connect with potential ideal clients)

👉 marketing (what it is ... what it isn't ... and why you need to be clear before you start)

👉 doubt (aka what happens when you aren't clear about what you're offering!)

👉 intention vs action (and why BOTH are equally important)

👉 offerings (and the amazing zing that happens when your offers form!)

SO, it only seemed fitting that I address why you gotta take care of yourself and your business just as much as you take care of your clients and their needs in this month's blog. It's a good read if I do say so myself. 

FIRST: Grab your tea, coffee, or something stronger ... click the link in my bio and have a read!

THEN: if you're feeling inspired, and you know you're seeking a community to get coaching, explore business ideas, and connect with other entrepreneurs who get all the things business ... click the link in my bio to join the Collective! We start in March! I would LOVE to support you in the growth of yourself and your business. xoxo

BUSINESS MOMENTUM How do you actually choose a ni BUSINESS MOMENTUM 
How do you actually choose a niche that will help grow your business? Start with what you're most passionate about. This is the topic you want to teach your audience about the most and the industry you want to be in. It's ok to start with a brainstorming list and then narrow down later. 

Just because you could work with anyone, doesn't mean you'll enjoy working with anyone. We all have different personalities, you won't enjoy working with everyone. Think about your top five favorite clients or people and make a list of what they have in common. What problems are they struggling with that you can help solve?

Using the industry you want to work in, what you're passionate about teaching and the problem your ideal clients are facing, you can start to create your micro-niches or vertical markets. This is where the magic happens.

Actually doing it is SCARY. 🙈 #amiright

Pay attention next time you’re frustrated that you don’t have enough clients or a big enough list or enough attention. Are you TALKING and PLANNING more than you’re DOING? 🤔

Be an action entrepreneur.

Also - throw back to when my hair was long. Some days I miss ponytails.

Stop the social media overwhelm! A few weeks ago, Stop the social media overwhelm!

A few weeks ago, in a group coaching program I participate in, a question surfaced about social media. Along with it came the often-heard barrage of emotions: 

😖 I don't have time to post all the time. 
😖 I don't get how to use it.
😖 I know everyone is on there but how do I connect? 
😖 I know I need social to up my marketing game ... but I dread it.

I realized I'd heard all of this before. Many times actually. 

People. 

When did marketing become synonymous with social media? 

There are SO MANY WAYS to market your business! If you hate social media - it's ok! 

I'll let you in on a little secret: I'm not actually that fond of it myself. I use it to boost visibility but I don't rely on it to get clients. You have options. I promise you. 

If you want to explore other ideas to market your business beyond just social media, please hustle your booty over to my Magnetizing Leads Challenge. It's free and will give you ideas over 10 days to expand your reach! Link is in my bio.

Are you designing your business AND your life? I Are you designing your business AND your life?

I was interviewed for a podcast last week (dropping later this year) where we talked about the importance of creating a business plan AND a life plan. 

So many people put their focus just on the business. 

OR just on their life. 

What do you want your LIFE to look like? How are you designing your business to support that?

Ever since I graduated college, I knew I wanted a job where I could work in any city, preferably with flexibility. I knew I might want a family someday ... or at least the choice to try. I knew I wanted to work with people. 

Now, my business provides ... 
👍🏼 flexibility to work from home - or any home if I choose to travel. I do prefer a dedicated work station though!

👍🏼 the ability to pop in and check on my daughter throughout the day. Because we have in home care. 

👍🏼 the opportunity to work digitally with people from anywhere 

👍🏼 the expansion to travel if I want to in the future

👍🏼 a later morning start time because I’m not a morning girl (well nowadays I am but not by choice!)

This isn’t an accident where I “got lucky” the pieces fell into place. Every year I (and now my husband and I) talk about what we want our life to include that year. Then,  we plan our the business accordingly to support that. 

Are you conscious about your business choices?

BUSINESS MOMENTUM Okay, so business #burnout is R BUSINESS MOMENTUM 
Okay, so business #burnout is REAL, folks. 😴 I loved the days when my ideas 💡 were fresh and my words, posts, ideas and materials FLOWED so effortlessly from me when I was just starting out.

Every few years I find myself getting re-inspired and ready to rock again. But then eventually burnout creeps back in. After 14 years I’ve experienced this many times over. I know I’m not alone here.

When you wear so many hats as an #entrepreneur • #girlboss • #bossbabe • you can lose steam if you aren’t practicing consistent #selfcare. So how do you combat burnout when the idea well runs dry? Or the day to day feels heavier than normal?

Stop focusing so hard on the business and shift for a bit to finding YOUR inspiration. Discover new things that 💡 you up. Play with life again. Your next big idea will come quickly and easily. Not forced and hopeful. 🙌🏼
