It’s crazy to think that I’ve been in business full time for 3.5 years and I’ve never really done an end of year review. I think I might have guessed that no one really cares too much about hearing my personal thoughts, but then again when I was just starting out on my web design journey, I very much looked up to business owners a few years ahead…

If you’ve stumbled onto this post, there’s a chance you’re trying to figure out whether or not to purchase Louise Henry’s Uplevel with Asana course. This is an honest review of her course and the program. I purchased the course in January 2020, and I still use so much of what I learned back then today. First off, if you’re not super familiar with…

If you’re a novice builder looking to create a website for your business, it’s likely that, eventually, you’re going to need photos that encompass your branding to use on your website’s pages. While it might be tempting to search Google and take screenshots of images you find to use on your website, doing so can have several consequences. First…

Well grab a cup of coffee (or wine) and settle in because I’m about to dive into my experience. First off, who is Ashlyn? Ashlyn Carter of ashlynwrites.com is a copywriter for creative entrepreneurs. She created the course as a more affordable way for business owners to work with her by investing in this DIY copy course. Why I took it? There’s quite…

I always make sure I have a TON of tools and resources at my disposal for creating business websites (after all, I have a career as a Squarespace and Showit website designer!) Today, I’m sharing some of my favorites that I use almost every week (or even every day) to run my business. Canva is one of my all-time favorite tools for creating social…

After all, as your business grows, your website has to grow to accommodate new services and offerings, as well as higher traffic. (And that website you used when you were first starting out, or even when you…

In June 2017, I came across a Facebook ad for the Bucketlist Bombshells. Little did I know that it would change my life forever… Might sound dramatic but stick with me here. In this post, I’m sharing my honest review of the Bucketlist Bombshells and their 3 courses. I always thought freelancing was something you did after 10 years of experience…

Taking the leap from my 9-5 to run my business full time was the biggest decision of my life. I’m sure that many other people face the same fears of not being ready. When I was preparing to leave my job, there were many aspects of running a business that I realized were much different than just applying for small projects on a freelancing platform like People Per Hour or Upwork.
