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!

The Importance of CELEBRATING your PROGRESS!

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

How ironic (+ pretty screwed up, TBH...) is it that we're SO BUSY searching for positive reinforcement (read: validation) from:

‍ ...our bosses...

...our besties... ‍‍

‍‍‍ ...our partners...

‍‍ ...our parents...

‍ ...that one co-worker we don't actually like but still weirdly feel the need to impress...

-- that we basically forget to spend ANY energy/time on celebrating our own progress along the way?

The truth is, we're often so preoccupied with trying to impress everyone else (usually with the best intentions!) - OR so focused on what's up next (on the to-do list, in the inbox, answering the kiddo's)...

...that we don't even give our inner cheerleader the game-time to shineeee!!!

+ even when we do, we usually keep the 'megaphone' reserved for our critiques, instead of our triumphs...

...yikes...
...
