It is much easier when you do live with your best friend who could be as spontaneous as you.
I said Tulips festival is going on right now, he said he wanted to go somewhere after his long work week.
No plan, didn't even know where we would stay after Old Man got off work, we left.
Holland, Michigan Tulip Time Festival we went. End up spending a night at Grand Rapids, Michigan, and did some exploring and loved founding those beautiful inspiring murals around the city.

This table might be a bike, but I promise—I’m not coasting.

Being a momtrepreneur means no steady paycheck, unpredictable lunches, and 24/7 brain activity...
But also? Purpose. Passion. Freedom.

I’ve been building YingMing Group for 8 years now—helping small businesses show up strong online with branding, websites, and strategy that gets results.

Shoutout to my husband and kids who’ve witnessed it all and still support me every step of the way.
If you’re a small biz owner ready to be seen—let’s build something together.

The past two weeks have been BUSY—but exactly the kind of busy we dreamed of when we started Group.

Our purpose has always been to help small businesses build brands that truly reflect who they are—and support them with the tools to grow and stand out.

Thanks to a wonderful referral from
, we’ve had the honor of working with some incredible businesses recently. From marketing strategy to branding, and even new website designs—our team has been deep in the work we love.

But here’s the thing:
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all marketing.
That’s why we take time to learn the story behind every business we work with. We visit job sites, sit with owners, and get to know the real people and culture behind the brand.

We’ve also been attending industry events to stay on top of trends and hear directly from leaders in construction and professional services—because knowing what matters to our clients is how we serve them best.

During our coaching sessions, we’re seeing so many lightbulb moments—those “oh wow, that’s what’s been missing!” moments. That’s when we know we’re doing our job right.

One client recently told us:

“You’re not one of those companies just busy selling products. You truly take time to understand our needs—and keep us focused on our mission and our brand.”

And THAT is what YingMing Group is all about.

If you’re a small business that’s been struggling with marketing, branding, or how to show up online with confidence—let’s talk. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

We’re here to help you build something meaningful.

Had a wonderful lunch and strategy session with the amazing team at Corona Construction, LTD

What made it even more special was the connection — hearing their story, understanding their vision, and sharing laughs along the way.

At YingMing Group, we don’t just market businesses. We build relationships, take time to understand your story, and create a brand that reflects who you are.

We’re excited to be working with Nohe — a powerhouse in the construction industry — and can’t wait to help bring their brand to life.

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Feeling extra lucky to work with amazing clients like Tina and her team!

We helped them create a professional Capability Statement and design that matches their brand — and their kind words made our day:

✨ "You've been a lifesaver! We're so excited to be working with you!" ✨

We’re excited to keep working on more projects like their website and other marketing pieces!

Reflecting on an Incredible 3 Days at the TCTR Annual Event:

Spending 3 days in Springfield with 500+ attendees to the TCTR (Today's Challenge Tomorrow's Reward) annual event hosted by the Illinois Department of Transportation, has left my heart, soul, and mind full.
I am grateful that my sister Lien Dastgir made me go to this event with her 3 years ago, and this event has become a must-go event for us. Each year has held deep significance for me:

- 1st year: I was there to support my sister as she launched her company. We hustled to make connections, build relationships, and put her business on the map.
- 2nd year, I was there to celebrate her success! Her company was recognized as Engineering Firm of the Year 2023 by IDOT—a huge achievement and a testament to her hard work.
- Now the 3rd year, We BOTH took the stage as speakers, sharing our passion and expertise! My sister spoke on her unique approach to bridging employment gaps in construction, while I led two sessions:
✨ AI for Marketing and Business – This workshop was the talk of the conference! Attendees were wowed by my live demo showcasing AI tools in action.
✨ Storytelling for Business – A new perspective on how businesses can market themselves authentically and effectively.

It was both humbling and exciting to hear from attendees that my workshop was so impactful that other speakers referenced it in their own sessions! One attendee even shared:
💬 "The presenter for my workshop started by telling us what he learned from your session, and soon, the whole room was discussing it!"

I’m beyond grateful for the recognition, the connections, and the opportunity to share knowledge. And the journey continues! I’ve been invited to speak at another IDOT virtual workshop on March 11, 2025, where even more professionals will learn how to integrate AI into their business strategies.

When you speak about what you’re truly passionate about, people notice.

To those who attended my session—what was your biggest takeaway? I'd love to hear your thoughts! 👇

I was invited to speak again on 3/11/2025 dur
