Yup. You guessed it. The kiddos had another 4 day weekend which meant I had to switch things up a bit today. I have been working hard on creating killer Etsy listings for my shop, but also have been working on some really incredible things in store for the go-getters here in Maker's Business Coaching! So I had to figure out how I would make it all work today with the kiddos home. I could either sleep in, take 'er easy, and end up doing a whole lot of nothing for my businesses today. OR... I could get myself up at 4am, start my morning off with the quiet I sooo badly need in order to be my best for my family and my businesses, and get right to work. Guess which one I chose? Well, at 3:45am when my eyes popped open, I debated between grabbing another hour of those sweet "zzz's" and getting up, grabbing my fav cup of iced coffee, and getting to work. But, I knew that what I needed even MORE than sleep was to push forward to get the MOST important things done. And done early. ☀️ Before anyone else was up and had the chance to take over my day! I ended up having one of my best and most productive mornings I've had in weeks. And it was all because I made the choice to do the hard thing. Because sometimes that's what it takes to actually succeed as a small business owner. You've got to have grit, stick-to-it-iveness, and sometimes, a really incredible connection to other small business owners who push you forward, give you encouragement when you most need it, and are there to learn and grow their businesses right alongside you. So, if you're struggling to drive yourself to do the hard thing, and need a little bit of a push, I have just the thing you need.

We try to leave our house as close to 7am every morning. The kids need to be to school by 7:50 but like to get there as close to 7:30 as possible to spend time with friends before classes start. When we leave the house right at 7, we get to school by 7:25. So you would think that if we leave the house by 7:10 (just 10 minutes later), we'd still get to school 10 minutes later as well (which would be 7:35). But...that's not how it works. Because if we leave our house by 7:10, we end up getting...
I'm constantly thinking about my Etsy business. Spending focused time creating orders, thinking of new ways to expand and grow, or researching new product ideas for viability. Because when you own your own business, you can't afford to let things fall through the cracks. So, when I see opportunities for growth, I jump on it. When I am able to change my creation process to speed up production and increate quality, I make it happen. And when I need to cut our products that just aren't selling,...
It's simple, really. Go to that giant warehouse filled with DIY furniture. Pick out your favorites (after your inevitable 3 hour shopping trip). Load them onto the cart and into your car. Then take them home where the real fun begins. Open the boxes to find instructions inside. Simple picture illustrations make it as easy and non-threatening as possible to assemble said furniture. You begin your furniture construction with one solid swing of the hammer. The metal piece easily glides into the...
