The cozy learning library

One of my business values is that generosity always wins. Rather than dumping my best free stuff into a PDF and locking it behind an email opt-in form, I prefer to leave it all here for you to enjoy at your own pace. If you love what you read here and want deeper insights into the topics covered in my blog posts, then my email list is probably the best next step for you!

Don’t win the moment at the expense of the decade

If I could give one key piece of advice to small business owners it would be this: don’t win the moment at the expense of the decade. In December 2023 I read a book that sent me on a spiral and honestly made me re-think my life. I don’t say that to be facetious, I […]

Why I use worldbuilding as a Christian small business owner

Building a business through relational worldbuilding provides me an opportunity to exercise trust and truly lean on God each day with my business. This approach is not for everyone, but for those of us wanting to do business that feels softer, stronger, and more empathetic than most of what we see online, worldbuilding is a breath of fresh air.

Get permission, don’t overstay

Imagine someone knocks on your door and offers to change out your air conditioning vent filters for free. A simple, quick task that feels like a generous favor. You say “absolutely, sounds great!” You open the door, let him inside and feel appreciative of this free service he has offered you. A quick few minutes […]

Why I stopped using lead magnets, and what I do instead

In May of 2024, I shared on social media that I got rid of all my lead magnets, and have received tons of interest and questions as to why. I had workshops, PDFs, downloads, etc. and I got rid of all of them. Unless you’re some crazy detective (in which case I’ll be thoroughly impressed!) […]

Lock Into Focus for Business Growth

This is a story about how I forgot the most important part of my daughter’s birthday party. She just turned 2 (I’m not fine, btw) and we had her birthday party last weekend. The theme? YELLOW 💛🌼🌞 She is obsessed with yellow and everything that is yellow. Suns, flowers, pineapples, stars, but ESPECIALLY ducks. That […]

Deep down, we all just want to connect with other people who light up about the same stuff as us

We all want to be part of something bigger, even if it’s about something small. Whether it’s a favorite lip product or navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, any brand can offer their audience a flag to rally behind and say, “people like us do things like this.” Consumers are actively searching for businesses that deliver them real, sustained value over time.

The way forward is to create a world people can connect with and feel seen by. Where they can understand that they are not alone. Creating a brand world gives your audience agency to explore at their own pace and raise their hand when they are ready to say, “I want to be part of the story you’re writing.” 

If this approach to marketing and business resonates with you, I think you’ll fit in really well around here. When you’re ready, the best place to start is my Build Your Brand World mini course.
