If the fear of not having a consistent paycheck has held you back or made you nervous to make the leap into entrepreneurship, you're not alone. Whether you're a freelancer, a creative professional, a small business owner, or a side hustler with big dreams, we ALL face this reality at some point. 

I know just as well as you do that the income inconsistency is one of the scariest parts of being an entrepreneur. Before I left my steady packcheck and corporate gig and started working from home to be a full-time wedding photographer, I spent MONTHS preparing my budget to ensure that every bill was paid on time, even without a steady, predictable paycheck.

But don’t worry: today, we're going to dive into some practical tips and strategies to help you navigate the tumultuous waters of inconsistent income while also keeping your sanity intact! 

I firmly believe that with the right mindset, a dash of resourcefulness, and a sprinkle of financial wizardry, we can tame this wild beast called 'inconsistent income.' So, grab your favorite beverage, find a cozy spot to kick back, and let's dive into some actionable tips that will help you build resilience, maintain stability, and keep your creative spirit thriving, even in the face of uncertainty!

Feeling overwhelmed in your business? Not getting everything done?  It may be time to make your first hire.

Because although I’m a firm believer in asking for help, I also don’t want you to jump in ‘blind’.

In today’s age of social media and constant connectivity, there’s a LOT of pressure to capture and share every moment of our lives, as if we're curating our own reality show for others to consume.

It’s easy for it all to get convoluted – where does your life start and your content end and how blurry are you willing to let those lines get? 

And while sharing moments and stories online can be a wonderful way to connect and inspire, I’ve had to create true boundaries in my life that allow me to separate content from my life – ensuring that the pursuit of content never overshadows the true essence of life.

Today, I’m sharing some tips I’ve learned over the years on how to find the balance between staying present with those who matter most while still sharing our authentic and interesting lives online. Ya ready? Click play!

As business owners, it can be so hard to make time for ourselves amongst all of our other responsibilities: taking care of our families, working out, eating 3 square meals a day, and digging our biggest goals.

Staying motivated to chase your dreams can sometimes be difficult, but the solution to stay on track may be simpler than you think. In fact, it may only require a pen and paper, and 5 minutes a day!

Working from home feels more popular than ever. And as we do, we’re all trying to find a rhythm that’s good for our businesses and our souls, right?!

I’ve been super curious about the 4-day work week philosophy for YEARS. Between reading the book Shorter: Work Better, Smarter, and Less—Here’s How” by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang and watching my best friend Amy Porterfield test it (and love it!) with her own team, I knew I just had to try it.

So we, as a team, are testing out a 4-day work week for 90 days! In this episode I’m sharing a little research behind 4-day work weeks, how I finally made the decision to implement quickly, and how it’s going.

Click play NOW to dive into the beauty of working better, not more, and see if this rhythm is something you’d like to test in your business, too.
