A pretty pink cocktail in honor of Valentine’s Day!

Back in January, I had the opportunity to be on the All up in Your Lady Business podcast.

Today, I’m celebrating 8 years in business with 8 things I’ve learned along the way. There’s been happy stories and frustrating memories, late nights, and big wins. I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Last month, I sat down with Annette Stepanian, the attorney for creative professionals and entrepreneurs, on her podcast, Office Talk. We talked about the business journey and how it’s always changing, and usually for the better.

Warning: The mere reference of “marketing plan” in conversation with fellow entrepreneurs can give blank expressions, nervous giggles, and a half dozen excuses of why we don’t have one. I’m with you, girl.

There’s a lot of noise today out in the internet and social media about everything we feel we have to be doing as entrepreneurs. There’s email newsletters and Instagram and Pinterest and SEO and #allthethings. It can be so confusing and overwhelming and, worst of all, distracting!

Happy January, friends! Today, I’m sharing some of my 2017 PowerSheets goals and my word of the year. I love selecting a word of the year to help guide me and set intentions.

It was the end of Day 3 of Inspired Retreat and we had just wrapped up a long hike to the waterfall. We were sitting there in our rocking chairs with our feet up, quietly rocking away in the September afternoon sunlight.

Nothing says southern than bourbon, peaches, and sweet tea! This delicious cocktail was served at this past September’s Inspired Retreat and was a big delight to all of our guests.
