Free Content is King
This I cannot stress enough. Yes, I know, giving stuff away for free when you are trying to make $$$ sounds counterintuitive, but trust me babe! By offering free content you are able to show potential future clients what you are all about and leave them wanting more. It’s an incredible way to engage with your community as well and learn more about what they want too.

You Get To Enjoy Your Life
Please don’t forget this one. You are building a life that you want to live and that you get to enjoy. It is harddd work starting a biz. Like it’s you baby, and for most of us there is a lot riding on it. But you get to enjoy your life. You are allowed to have a day or two or more off. You are in control of that. Practice makes perfect. I sure know I’m still figuring the balance out that works for me. But go an enjoy that sunset walk!
