It’s more important than EVER to be buying from small businesses - even if that hasn’t been your traditional sales plan of action before…

𝘞𝘩𝘺?

Because every time you buy small - someone does a *happy dance* (ourselves included!) because it MEANS something to them

Because your supporting your neighbors/friends in creating a livelihood for themselves/their families - not just lining the pockets of already Billionaire-CEO’s

Because your support NOW could ensure that your favorite coffee shops open up in the Spring, or that cute little boutique on the corner survives the winter!

 #1 MANIFESTATION Mistake you’re *definitely* Making

“Ok so… I’m doing ALL the things, right? My visualizations are basically a Pinterest board, my mirror is covered in goals written on sticky notes, I listen to at least 3 podcasts a week… but I’m still NOT seeing results in my life/biz?!

WHAT THE F AM I DOING WRONG D + N?!

HALP!!!!

The REALITY Behind Why You’re Barely Getting Any Results
Girl… you can be pouring EVERYTHING into shiny future goals of bff coaching clients, consistent 10K months, snagging that fancy promotion/raise (*INSERT DREAM HERE*) but we’re about to drop a truth bomb that you mightttt be tempted to ignore… (PSA - don’t).

GET READY: If you can’t fully be thankful for the good that’s going on in your life NOW (small scale) - how do you think you’ll be able to HANDLE appreciating the greatness that comes with big goals in the FUTURE (large scale)?!

Now, this next sentence...

So, it’s Friday morning, you plop that toosh down at your at-home desk, couch, counter or wherever else you’ll be house-hustling until that precious 5 PM hits (or 4:30… or 4:13 pm, depending on your mood)… you’ve got a longggg list of to-do’s to wrap up before the weekend and you’re rearin’ to go…

…next thing ya know - you check your I-Phone, it’s 3:48 pm + you’ve BARELY gotten anything crossed off your list… ruh roh.

…sure, it *feels* like you’ve been busy ALL DAY but haven’t actually gotten anything…DONE (?)

Gal. Been there. Done (or not done) that.

Scheduling INTENTIONAL / FOCUSED time helps you be A LOT more productive without burning out!

Plan it all: work time, Netflix-binging time, cleaning the house...

Who is the person you break the most promises to?

That’s right - yourself.

We’re try our hardest to keep our promises to other people (and literally can drive ourselves CRAZY in the process) -

but when it comes to the promises we make to ourselves…. we break it.

+ I’m going to get up and workout in the morning.

+ I will drink 100oz of water today

+ I will send in my application to grad school this month

….. the list goes on and on.

Why do we do it? Well, we don’t value our own time. And we think we will always have more of it.

But if we are learning anything right now - it is that the future is unpredictable. In order to value your time and keep promises to yourself, you have to start with your DAILY HABITS.

One of our best tips? Schedule out your day and stick to it!! You can do this on your phone in your calendar app, or if you love pen and paper like we do, write it down!! There is power in putting your intentions in writing. It makes it harder...

It’s ok NOT to be OK...

GG: BALANCING #SOCIAL FREEBIE  http://bit.ly/GG-Balancing-Social 

Imagine this: 'future you' came to visit from the year 2023 (*cue Jonas Brothers 'Year 3000' song...*) + she's wearing the cutest black booties EVER...

She assures you that all things COVID-19 are old news.

We're ALL healthy or healing - and you and your business are absolutely T-H-R-I-V-I-N-G (instead of just surviving, like so many others...) - DAMN.

It's a pretty mind-blowing thought, isn't it?

The truth is this: a LOT of what's happening in the world right now feels super out of our control, yeah?

So, HOW can you take the POWER back in your life/business?

Ask yourself this question:

If THIS obstacle what the BEST thing to ever happen to you or your business - HOW would the next 2, 6, 12 months look???
PROFESSIONALLY:
How could you prioritize the activities that actually help make more sales (think: new discounts, connecting in the DM's etc.)?...

How Planning Posts EARLY Will Save Yo’ BOOTY!

GG: FEBRUARY FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

AHHHH!!! *screams internally out of PURE. GODDAMN. JOY*

Your girl (hi hi! Deniz here!) got to meet SO many @girlsguide.co boss babes in the making today in PERSON...

+ I gotta say, nothing makes our lil hearts wanna explode more than getting to serve you ladies in the feed/face to face *virtual hug*

More than HALF of the stellar local female entrepreneurs in this "Social Media Power Hour" at our downtown co-working space were GG followers - *squeals*

+ you know the best part?
They were all SO. FRICKIN. NICE!!!
These super sweet ladies were CRAVING connection with other badass girls bosses, they WANTED to level up their #social media game + they KNEW they had to get out of their perfectionist mindsets/classic comfort zones to do it.

#PreachPreachPreach...

But what were the biggest roadblocks in their way?

We chatted about 3 main points in that busy hallway:

How NOT Setting INTENTION Can Screw You/Your Biz Over


GG: FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

It's a mistake a LOT of female entrepreneurs make (us included!)... + tbh, you've probably already made it TODAY (#NoShame #AlwaysGrowGirl)
Trying to function throughout your day, or get through the seemingly never-ending to-do's of your business list without INTENTION is like trying to find a Waffle House in the middle of Vermont without a GPS... *F*CKING. HARD* 

You MIGHT get there, eventuallyyyy... but it's going to take you:

...10 x as longer... (when you already feel out of time)

­ ...make you wanna pull your hair out...(NO GIRL PLZ)

...+ there's a HUGE chance you might not make it (womp womp).

We end up doing this SO often, that we just fall into the habits that no longer serve us, waste our own damn time or don't ACTUALLY get us RESULTS.

Especially when it comes to moving the dial on your biz... $$$

In this week's #MondayMindset...

CONTENT Your Followers Will Fall in LOVE With!

GG: FEBRUARY FREEBIE  bit.ly/GG-Planning-Posts

Wouldn't it be AH-MAZING if instead of just 'liking' what you put out on #social media - your people FRICKIN' LOVED IT???

#HellYas.

 Introduces your audience to your WHY! (SO important!)

Saves you a SH*T load of time/effort/stress! (#bless)

 Allows you to focus on business BUILDING activities! ($$$)

#YasBossQueen.

We worked extra hard last month to craft a February guide that's absolutely overflowingggg with everything you need to plan your content proactively...
- a day
- a week
- a month
- or even a YEAR in advance! 

All while achieving the list above on a daily basis. How sweet...
