It’s that time of year where we review and revise our plans for the year ahead. There’s a pretty good chance that it might be around your career. Whether it be making the move in your current position or expanding a side hustle. Quitting the day job or...

This morning I committed to a blog post. That was before I realised that my to-do list really didn’t leave much room for such things. But, a promise is a promise. After digging through a bunch of drafts with no half-finished winners (judge me if you will, haha),...

I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone THAT into doing the washing or cooking (every. single. night). Me either. A very strong ME EITHER. And that’s why we outsource household chores. I’m not sure if you know but I especially hate the fact that when...

Just last week I gave notice at my day job to go back working for myself full-time. Even though it’s been pretty casual over the past year, this will give me the ultimate freedom to work in and on my business. I’m excited and nervous because you never can...

I’ve been a little quiet for the past couple of weeks. From the high of daily (ish) blogging, it was a bit of a comedown. So, without excuses or blame, I want to tell you what was going on in the hopes it might clear the way for some words to show up. ...

We’ve talked about this before but it really hit home for me today. One of the things I love most about working for myself is that there is really no one to tell me what to do. My favourite part of THAT is choosing who I want to work with. I know, for others in...

Well, it’s been 30 days of daily blogging; give or take a few days. I made it, sort of. While I may not have blogged every single day, but I did the majority of them. In the last 30 days, I made stuff; took more photos and wrote what was there to write day after...

I don’t know about you, but the minute I saw IG TV launched online, I downloaded the secondary app immediately. Not sure what I’m talking about, read this from the Instagram blog first. Short version. Watch the video if you’re interested. I’ve...

When I asked for video ideas the other week, Vanessa asked for suggestions for getting new (or first) clients. Unfortunately, I haven’t had time to record anything, but I wrote this post in the process of making some notes about how. Bonus! Maybe after this...
