It happened to me again, just the other day! I was having a fantastic conversation with a small business owner who was SO passionate about her business. We talked about how she loves to serve her customers, why she created this business and how proud she was of her success to this point. And then …
Marketing is sadly a field filled with misconceptions and misunderstandings. It can be so hard to learn great marketing practices with so many varying opinions out there. In the end, all you can do is what feels right for you and your business. Just like any decision I make, my marketing decisions are made with …
How the heck is it November already? Maybe I’m the only one, but I feel like 2021 has just flown by. Not always in a good way, but I can’t believe we are here. Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. There is just a certain smell in the air that puts a smile …

Because I love you and I care deeply about your business success… I’m going to give you a hard and honest truth here. Your website is NOT about you! Eek, did that sting a little? I’m so sorry!! But at the same time, I’m glad you are hearing it from me instead of hearing it …
There is a common thread that I see often when talking with business owners about why they hate sales. While putting together packages, service bundles, product bundles, specials, etc… has always come a bit second nature to me, I realize this is not the case for everyone. I believe that the majority of small business …
I hear so often from potential clients that they either aren’t ready to hire someone to work on a logo for them, or they waited so long because they felt they simply couldn’t give someone the right direction to achieve the results they wanted. Because they simply didn’t know what it was that they wanted! …
A year or so ago I attended a business seminar put on by a photographer in my local area.
