Today we’re talking all about some important myths when it comes to making more money in your business and I want to help bust those for you. I don’t need to worry about how to make real money in my business right now, I’ll worry about that later. Uhhh, when exactly is later? I hear this even...
Let’s talk pricing. Specifically, let’s talk about a really important topic that I feel there is a lot of mystique around, which is how do you decide how much money you should make? I’m talking net revenue here - your own salary or what you hope to pay yourself as the business owner. Should you...
Today we are talking about quality clients vs. quantity of clients. I actually first began to think about this idea of as a kid. (Because I was a weirdo and apparently liked to ponder business even as an 8-year-old.) I remember talking with my dad once during a car ride about music and about who...
You can’t talk about money and pricing without also talking about time. They are intrinsically linked to one another. My goal with this post is to get you to reframe how you value your own time and how to better price your products and services to reflect that. Society has told you from a young age...

Why would you let your client or customer decide what to...
So you want to start a business huh? Owning a creative business can be so fulfilling after all you are getting paid (hopefully) to do what you love and you can control your own schedule which are both definite wins! However the road to a profitable business is often a lot longer and more expensive than new...
Let's face it, as creative business owners, we are always looking for ways to make more money in our business. And to do so we usually add more products, services, and revenue streams, or try to reach more people and broaden our audience, or we increase our prices and charge more money. But there's a...
At some point every business owner must decide when and where to invest money to get their business or idea off the ground. Of course we all want to invest as little as possible because new businesses often mean no income…yet. But as with anything in life, less risk equals less reward and if you...
Owning a business and being your own boss comes with a lot of perks. We get to do what we love, we get to work when we want, where we want, and in our yoga pants, yesterday's shirt, and no make-up if we choose (although I don't recommend it). There are tons of reasons to consider...
