I get so excited this time of year! It’s when you can look back on the last year and see what you did right, what needs worked on and even the places you failed. I can finally open my new planner and dream big for my business in the coming year. Here are the things […]

Invest in yourself. Education is so important in moving forward in your business but it tends to be the last thing we think we should do due to price. When you start your business, it is hard to justify a large sum of money but I realized I was 10 years into my business with […]

Here are just a few programs I use in my business and would feel lost without them. Dubsado -I use this as my CRM (client management system) and can’t imagine handling my busy fall season without it. Here is the link for my discount code: CODE Pic-Time -This allows me to share my digital files […]
