Today we're talking about Working when you feel like a failure. There are days and moments while building a business that you just don't feel inspired to work and grow. We're sharing some practical tips to help you push through those times. - Do concrete things, not creative needs. It's so helpful to have a written workflow during times like this. When I'm uninspired and just want to nap, I'll look at my workflow list and just start checking things off. Mileage, taxes, responding to emails, paying bills, returning phone calls-- these are just a few things to get you started on this list. - Get out -- go to a coffee shop, library, beach, etc to work if you're able. Just shake it up a little. - Take time off. It's not always possible, but sometimes taking the evening or a few days off will refresh you enough to make you enjoy working again, therefore working faster than if you hadn't stopped. - Work through your feelings. WHY are you feeling like a failure? Is this feeling going to last for a day or is it a

People sometimes skip over the basics.  We think that marketing is all about social media posts, taking out ads, and hosting a booth at trade shows. But really, the basics are free!  Sure, you might need additional forms of paid advertising, but don't skip over the free stuff-- it's valuable! 1) Make a plan.  Even if you have to change your plan one week later, at least you have a plan to change. You're not going to be motivated every chance you get to work, so having a plan makes sure that you know what to do when inspiration runs dry. 2) Put yourself out there.  In every way, entrepreneurship means putting yourself out there.

People know us and trust us, and it really gives our business a leg up. This doesn't mean you

We don't have to be best friends with everyone to run a business, but we do have to serve our clients and serve them well! The hardest thing for us is when a client doesn’t talk much. It's okay, though-- it’s just a personality difference, and it’s not a bad thing.  If your client isn't chatty, don't force conversation. Respect their time and leave space in the conversation for them to speak.Keep it Simple: Give a Compliment. Find something visible that you like
