Brief Bio:
I strive to live life to the fullest. No matter what. I have grown into myself through my love for Jesus and HIS LOVE FOR ME. Art, motherhood, business, creativity and yoga are the cherished vehicles for this deepening. Life can be FULL, JUICY, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSE FILLED, LOVELY. I want to help you come to your fullest life. I create workbooks, ecourses and workshops that chronicle my change and growth and offer you ways to find out what YOUR FULLEST life will be.
Success in business is defined as….
For the first couple of years of my online business I wanted so much to really make all the money that people seemed to allude to. More marketing, more connecting, constant blogging, relisting on etsy, social media at all hours of the day and night. Oh! And make sure you are near your email just in case that huge wholesale order comes in…
After months and months of questioning my work ethic (maybe I was not committed enough) and my pricing structure (are my prices too high?), I finally stopped. I had to take a good hard look at the reality: the business was running me.
I had to admit that I felt this pressure ALL THE TIME about this business which at best was making a supplemental income for the hours of labor I was putting into it. Here are some things that helped me to redefine my definition of success:
1. I began logging EXACTLY how much time I was spending in each area of my business and correlating that with sales
2. I got REAL about my accounting for my business.
3. I took a break for about 30 days where I created NOTHING.
Today I define success in business as:
The ability to be able to create what I love in a manner that inspires me and thus flows into the quality and design of my products and feeds not just my pocketbook but my soul.
