Motivation in business naturally fluctuates. It’s normal to experience highs and lows. When motivation dips, revisit your core reasons for starting your business. A clear "why" will help you stay focused and push through tough moments.

Running a business means juggling many roles, which can be overwhelming. One effective strategy to manage your time is task batching—grouping similar tasks together throughout your week.

This reduces the mental drain of switching between different types of work, such as moving from creative tasks to analytical ones.

Making decisions can be challenging, especially when you’re feeling uncertain or overwhelmed.

Start by imagining walking into a room with a large table at the center. The key is to choose people who inspire you or whose perspectives you value.

The Good Girl Rebellion is more than just a business - it’s a movement, a statement, a shift, a call to action. It’s about breaking free from the expectations that have kept us small and stepping boldly into the lives and businesses we are meant to create. And now, you can wear that revolution.

Whether you’re building your empire, rewriting the rules, or simply reminding yourself (and the world) that this is not the end, but the beginning—it’s all covered.

Overcoming imposter syndrome starts with a mindset shift. By viewing yourself as an apprentice rather than expecting instant mastery, you can embrace learning, celebrate progress, and reduce the pressure to be perfect. Growth is a journey, and every step forward counts.

We’re all familiar with to-do lists. They help us stay organized and keep track of what’s next. But what if, instead of focusing on what we haven’t done yet, we celebrated what we have accomplished? Enter the Ta-Da List—one of my favourite tools for boosting my motivation and acknowledging my progress.

Self-sabotage is the death throes of fear, so if you notice sabotaging patterns in yourself, it's time to get excited because you are almost there.
