Always celebrate the small wins.

So today, we are celebrating the fact that we have made 100 sales through our Etsy store!

What it means to us?
——-
That’s 100 people who were able to lift their game, position their business better, which would have ultimately led to more sales.

Feels good to do good.

Oh, and we totally love that it brought in some extra $$$ too!

“If you want to ride the wave of life…
You need to show up,
Get into the water,
And give it your best shot”

This quote applies to life, surfing, and business!

It’s Saturday morning 7am,
whilst most teenagers are sleeping,
mine comes through to my room,
begging me to take him for a surf.

😜 It’s what happens most Saturday’s.

But…
Did I mention it’s winter?
And early mornings are cold?

Nevertheless…
we head down to the beach.

As he stands there looking at the wave,
Deciding which spot to go to,
I’m in awe of his desire & dedication.

And there’s no major goal that’s driving this.

Nothing that would pull him out of bed in this weather.

He just wants to get better and be the best surfer he can be!

It reminded me of the philosophy:

“you’ll only get better,
if you put in the reps”.

Improvement takes effort,
Repeat effort.

And as I’m looking at him putting in his effort, I’m thinking I should be showing the same kind of dedication to the social spaces - yes, I’ve been slacking a bit.

So if you’re like me,
thinking you need to put more effort into socials,

And you’re wondering where begin…

Then these 3 nuggets are for you today!
1️⃣ We need to show up
2️⃣ We need to get in the water
3️⃣We need to give it our best shot

And don’t worry about getting it perfect from the get-go either, your first post probably won’t be perfect.

But you need to start,
you need to keep learning,
Keep improving.

The more we do those 3 things,
The more reps we put in,
The better we get.

…and bigger impact we make.

🤔 what will your “life reps” look like this week?

08/04/2024

Immediate results.

We seek the quick fix,
The instant solution,

Always chasing
Immediate results.

What if we shift our thinking…

Because…
The seeds planted today,
Will compound to a bigger [sustainable] harvest later.

Spend time planting,
Nurturing those seeds,
Building relationships,
Making a difference.

——-
Don’t judge each day
By the harvest
you reap,
Rather judge today
By the seeds
You planted
——-

🤔 What does this quote mean for you this week?

I’ll share mine in the comments.

You know how annoying it is when someone leans over and asks you what next Mondays date is… and then you have to wait for the calendar all to open?

Well, it annoyed me!

So I found a way to have my calendar on my desktop… saved my multiple times!

I suspect that there is a lot of reflection happening this weekend.

With the public holidays,
We’re given a splash of time to think.

Without the hustle and bustle of delivering client work.

Thought I’d share this little life changing nugget with you

(At least it was for my business)

“It’s hard to read the label,
When you’re inside the bottle”

There have been many times,
When I’m busy working on something,
And I think it’s great,
Then i share it with someone,
And they see something I didn’t.

There is massive value in an outside opinion.

Someone who can look at it from an objective perspective.

And give you a fresh insight that you hadn’t picked up on before!

Especially if you’re too close to it.

What are you up to this Easter?
Reflecting? Celebrating? Relaxing? A bit of everything?

Not sure who needs to see this today...
But don’t give up on your yourself!

Hold onto those dreams,
and make your life count!

Because there is something incredible you were meant to do in this world!

Happy Sunday

It's ok to just take one small action
towards your goals,
as long as you keep at it,
Every . Step . Is . One . Step . Closer.

So keep making small progress:
-------------------------------
// One article a week
is 52 articles in one year

// Because 1 post a day
is 30 posts a month

// Connecting with 5 new people a day
is an extra 150 connections you didn't have

// Writing 300 words a day
is 9000 words in a month

// A 365 day project
is 365 pieces of work you didn't have before

👉 Small daily actions really can have a large impact long term.

"Big Changes,
are often
disguised
as
small
actions"
Emma Weise

So keep taking action, Friends!

Here's one of my projects:
--------------------------
Writing at least one quote a week,
[here's a pic of what I wrote on the whiteboard this week!]
and then sharing a nugget [like this post],
and turning said quote into a graphic for the store.

Ps... Which colour is your favourite?
Pps... Did I mention that I'll be loading a quote every friday, and that said print is on a 50% discount for the weekend? 😬

I'm embarrassed to say,
that I only loaded my March calendar
onto my phone,
this week 🙀🙈

But, I'm already so glad that I did.

I was checking the dates
I had scheduled for a promo...
and instead of opening my phone,
searching for the calendar app,
waiting for it to open,
making sure I was on the right month...

I just touched my phone,
and my calendar was right there!

Plus the painted background makes me happy!

Which month's abstract, is your favourite?

Thought brochures were dead?
👇
This brochure continues to be a “hot favourite” in the Etsy store!

Why?
People still want a way to communicate what they do!

Plus… the brochure can still be emailed & WhatsApped to clients!

Do you use a brochure in your business?
Give me a 👋 if you’re part of the brochure fan club!

Curious Question for the Coaches + Consultants...
When it comes to having planners / trackers... what's your preference when it comes to colour?

1. Minimal colours - please save my printer's ink
2. Love colour - and probably wont print it - so go wild
3. Don't care - printing in full colour makes it fun to work with
