So many of the small business owners, entrepreneurs and freelancers I speak to are intimidated by big brands and the decision makers who work there.
.
I do get it, some of these organisations are massive machines and it feels like they’ll chew you up and spit you out in seconds, but…SPOILER ALERT: they’re just like you...
.
They tie their own shoelaces
.
They spill spaghetti sauce down their white shirts at lunch
.
They get sozzled at the company christmas/summer party and perform awful karaoke renditions whilst standing on top of the bar
.
❌ They have fears and insecurities
.
They are human beings and they are still figuring it all out
.
.
They’re just like you.
.
.
If you want to build a relationship with a big brand it’s important to remember that they’re made up of tens of thousands of people like you, so it’s vital that you can connect with them on more than just a business to business level, you need to connect with them on a person to person level too.

This man made my heart soar yesterday when I got home from my business trip. He ran down the hallway and screamed “Ma!!!!!!” jumped into my arms and gave me the biggest squeeze. Doesn’t get much better than that!
Weekend plans: Engagement session tonight, spending all day tomorrow with my family, and two album sessions on Sunday. What are you up to this weekend?

If it's one thing I can tell any entrepreneur, success seeker, my daughters or any anybody seeking to be the best versions of themselves is this:
there is ONE thing I absolutely know for sure. And that is that you have to keep expanding what you know! You simply have to commit yourself to learning more and introducing yourself to different schools of thought.
I have personally been on this quest ever since I've committed myself to become the best version of myself. And speaking honestly, that was inspired by me touching my lowest points, and realizing that I was the worst version of myself. To fuel this quest, I find myself feeding this fire of motivation by way of seeking knowledge.
Fast forward to last weekend. I had the pleasure of attending a conference with Bob Proctor and Sandy Gallagher. Bob's philosophy is built around Napoleon Hill's 'Think and Grow Rich'. He read it every day for the past 60 years. Sort of like a Bible, until it became "his Bible". He openly admits how this book is fundamentally responsible for his success and the huge empire he has built to it.
If it's one thing we can take from Bob is this: don't just read books to get to the end and move on the next one. Actually, study it. read it several times. what you will notice is that through reading it (well, studying it) more and more, you will pick up on concepts that were hidden to your eyes the first couple times you read it (especially, the first). This is that start to change what he calls your paradigms, which are a locked in patterns, behaviors and mental states. Most of us are stuck in paradigms that don't benefit us. The goal is to move ourselves from operating unconsciously with unintentional negative behaviors to intentional positive ones, that we can use ultimately to catapult ourselves into the success we want to obtain in our lives.
shot out to @proctorgallagher for an amazing 3 days.
also, special shot out to my cousin @bb_officialgram for always being willing to pack his bags a moments notice and roll with me at the last minute. keep your thirst for knowledge as high possible. love you cuzzo.
READ all the way to the BOTTOMThe honeybee’s primary objective is to obtain nectar to make honey. While in the process of going after the nectar, the honeybee is actually involved in a much larger purpose. At 90 degrees to the direction of the honeybee’s flight path, pollen is being dusted on its wings. As it goes on its search for more nectar the honeybee is cross-pollinating the rooted botanicals. This cross-pollination is a far more important outcome than making honey, for it results in a beautiful, bountiful garden.
Millionaires are honey-money-seeking bees. By focusing on adding as much value as possible in pursuit of making millions , the enlightened Millionaire is actually increasing the standard of living on the planet. This increase in the standard of living is at 90 degrees to the direction of the Enlightened Millionaire’s flight path.
This concept is of one ‘s ☝ journey of wealth along with purpose. *Moral of the story: The honey is just the byproduct of the greater work at hand, an extra added benefit.
Does this make sense? Or was it over your head? Be honest...
From my experience as a mumpreneur that’s into PR and promotions, I’ve concluded that these skills make Mums some of the best entrepreneurs. Here are the 5 reasons why;
1. We know the value of hard work!
Starting your own business is not easy, especially in the early days. I’ve made so many mistakes I can’t even count But because most women instinctively understand that value of managing a successful ( it takes time, effort, patience and perseverance) we know it takes the same mindset to build a successful business. 2. We are amazing at customer service
Mums always know and observe how to meet people’s needs. We’ve had time to study and learn how to meet people’s needs.
3. We are negotiation gurus
Anyone who can persuade a toddler to do ANYTHING has earned their master negotiator certificate in my opinion!
4. We understand that success is a team effort
Every Mum knows that it is impossible to be successful (and remain sane!) by doing everything yourself.
Trust! I know how my delegating skill have improved and if it doesn’t get done, I find the best opportunity to fit it in perfectly ♀️ .
5. We are masters at thinking on our feet
As every Mum knows all too well, life rarely goes according to plan!
Just when you have everything nicely planned out, something unexpected happens – the nappy explodes, the rabbit escapes... the list is endless! But we Mums amazingly adapt at thinking on our feet, finding a quick solution and instantly rethinking our original plans and tactics, and seamlessly moving forward regardless.
My biggest tip is to build support network of people who understands you, your flexibility and priorities. People who cover for you without prompting. They just understand, inspire, motivate and support you, your vision.
If you have dreamed of being your own boss and enjoying the perks of leading life on your terms, but have not yet taken your first step, I can help!
Please DM me for more info.
One question I get a lot is about how I find the time for everything. Today, I'm going to let you in on a secret.
I outsource what I can.
I firmly believe in creating a team for your business that you trust, enjoy, and can delegate parts of your work. It's time to LET GO of the things that require too much of your time and prohibit you from growing your business.
A small suggestion to delegate: use stamps.com and skip the post office line.
A big one: EDITING! My friends over at @freedomedits are AMAZING and I completely trust them to edit my images! They work with you to learn your style and will give you photos the same love you do.
