You can't create key brand messaging that's authentic if you aren't clear on precisely what your business is all about. That's right. You've got to get VERY real about who you are, what you do, and what you want to accomplish. Getting real about your business starts with knowing your business vision .
Like that trendy highlighter makeup all the TikTok'ers are repping these days, less is more when it comes to your website copy. Yes, you should share what your audience needs to know about your business and why they should work with you.
If this makes sense but you're not sure what that transformation looks like, try this: Grab a piece of paper (or open a new Google Doc, you do you) and make two columns: Before and After. In the Before column, jot down: What your client has before they buy into your offer (limited time, a disorganized business, etc.)

So, you finally got your creative business off the ground. After months, maybe years, of working your ass off, you're seeing a profit and are *gasp* starting to feel successful.

Your e-commerce storefront plays a huge role in the success of your online retail business. Displaying your products with the right imagery can be the difference between someone clicking through to buy and heading back to Google to keep searching.
Preparing to launch an online store is a big step to take for any business. The logistics of setting up and launching an online store are pretty simple, as long as you have a plan in place.
Have you ever looked at your to-do list, whether it's jotted haphazardly on a post-it or perfectly organized online, and thought, "How the hell am I supposed to do it all?" You're not alone, friend. Running a business puts so many demands on your time. Sometimes it's stuff you're excited to do.
One of the biggest mistakes I see creative biz owners make is waiting way too long to bring automation tools into their businesses. Think about it: How many hours a week do you spend doing shit that has nothing to do with the shit you're crazy good at?
Ever find yourself looking at your shitstorm of a to-do list and thinking, "I need HELP?" First of all, deep breath. Second of all, everything will be okay. But most importantly, it's time to get some help, my friend.
Are you at the point in growing your business where shit's hitting the fan, it's raining time-consuming tasks and projects, and you know it's time to hire? Not so fast! Putting together an Avengers-like (or Justice League, pick your flavor) line-up of pros isn't as simple as slapping a job description on a hiring site.
Running an online business isn't exactly for the faint of heart, is it? That passion you decided to turn into a career might be the thing you love to do most, but there's a lot more to making it a profitable biz than that.
I see you, you entrepreneur, you. You're crushing it when it comes to producing your service or product. Your clients are ecstatic, your business is booming, and you're ready to start building a team and taking tasks off your plate.
There's something all of us online business owners have in common: We started our businesses because we had a passion. There's something we love to do, create, or make. And sharing it with people who will value it and benefit from it? Best feeling in the world.
In a perfect world, everyone on Instagram would love every piece of content you share. You spend a lot of time curating the perfect feed and writing scroll-stopping captions, but at the end of the day, not everyone is going to care. And that's okay!
Pre-pandemic, working from home might have sounded kind of luxurious. Kicking up your heels on the couch while you leisurely check your email in your PJs, children playing independently in the next room with educational toys? YEA RIGHT. The reality of working from home isn't very glamorous, especially when you add kids and busy family life to the mix.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners are some of the most creative dreamers you'll meet. We're the type that are constantly thinking about what's next, coming up with new ideas, and daydreaming about possibilities. Lightbulbs go off in our heads in the shower, in the car, or even at 3 a.m.!

Yoga enters people's lives for all sorts of reasons. Some are looking for a way to find some peace in their hectic days. Others want to find new ways to move and strengthen their bodies. No matter how you discover yoga, one thing's for sure: A yoga body transformation will absolutely change your life for the better.
It's an exciting time of year, isn't it? When people think of new beginnings and new energy, they tend to think of New Year's. But when summer comes to an end, there are opportunities abound to start over and start anew.
My personal and professional journey has been anything but conventional, and I'm grateful for every twist and turn. When I graduated from law school, I was sure I'd be rockin' a pantsuit and living the corporate attorney life. Little did I know, life had other plans for me.
Does the word "boundaries" scare you? The idea of saying no or drawing a line in the sand about anything in your personal life or work can freak you out if you're used to people-pleasing. You might wonder if people will be offended or what they'll think. But you know what?
You're doing something pretty important right now. You're probably not even thinking about it... You're breathing. Big deal, everyone breathes constantly, right? But there's a lot more to breathing than you might realize. How you breathe affects your mind and body in powerful ways.
There's a whole lot of talk out there about self-care these days. In a lot of ways, it's a good thing. The past year created enough stress and mental hurdles to bring many of us to our knees (especially moms trying to work from home-don't get me started).
You'd be hard-pressed to find an adult who doesn't experience some sort of stress in their lives. Whether it's pressures at work or responsibilities at home, we all deal with forms of stress. Stress management, or finding healthy ways to deal with stress, is something everyone should work on for themselves.
Some seasons of our personal and professional lives feel more challenging than others-and in some cases, entire years (Oh hey, 2020!). When things are in flux, and we have difficult situations and circumstances on our hands, it's easy to focus on what's not going well.
Many things in life are made better when you can enjoy them with other people. A healthy lifestyle is no exception! When there are people in your life who support your healthy choices and maybe even join you in exploring healthy ways of living, you are bound to have a more positive experience - which is helpful when it comes to sticking with it.
Spring is a time for new beginnings, and for many people, spring cleaning! While opening your windows, packing away your winter gear, and doing some deep cleaning is refreshing, did you know it's also good for your mental health? Taking simple steps to clean and organize your home can reduce stress and help you feel calm, focused, and more positive.
We all know that feeling. You step outside on a spring day, take a deep breath, and enjoy that burst of calming and refreshing energy. Being outdoors and immersing yourself in nature is good for your mind and body.
There's more to a healthy lifestyle than fitness. What goes into your body is just as important as mental and physical health and well-being. Eating plant-based is a great way to give your body the nutrition it needs - plus it can help you to maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of cancer, and more.
Now more than ever, at-home yoga is a fantastic option for moving your body and improving your physical and mental health. Pandemic or not, exercising from the comfort of your home is a convenient option for anyone interested in either giving yoga a try or advancing their practice. Ready to get moving?
At VIBE, that idea of intimidation really isn't our style. We pride ourselves on our amazing and unique community, because everyone should feel encouraged and welcomed as they work to create a healthier life. What makes the VIBE community so unique? Read on to find out!
It's pretty safe to say that 2020 was a tough year for moms. From virtual learning and working at home to missing in-person time with friends and family, navigating the pandemic's effects on top of daily life hasn't been easy for anyone. Going into 2021, it's as important as ever for moms to take care [...]
Women tend to wear a lot of hats. With endless responsibilities at work and home, it can seem like to-do lists are endless. It's challenging to feel as if everything on your plate is getting the attention it needs or that you're managing all areas of your life equally.
One of the most important steps to setting yourself up for success with mindful eating is making sure you have foods on hand to support a healthy diet. Understanding what foods to purchase and why will help you make informed decisions at the store and in your kitchen when you're planning your meals.
Gyms and fitness studios are a dime a dozen. Doesn't it feel like everywhere you turn, there's a new one popping up? We're all for everyone finding a place to create a healthy lifestyle and feel like they're at home! But the truth is, VIBE is unique.
Many people associate New Years or January with fresh starts, setting intentions, and creating goals. But this time of year, when summer is ending and fall's at our feet, is the perfect time to set intentions.
This month at VIBE, we're talking about your heart - from its function in your body to its symbolic role in love and emotions. One meaningful way you can take care of your heart, both physically and emotionally, is to practice gratitude and cultivate a calmer and more positive way of living.
A healthy heart is one of the most critical parts of your overall well-being. Are you taking good care of yours? Frequent cardio, or aerobic exercise, is key to having healthy circulation, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and a decreased risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Summer might be winding down, but we're kicking into gear with our new class schedule at VIBE! We're thrilled to introduce additions that give our VIBE community a fun and exciting mix of yoga and fitness classes to choose from and at convenient new evening time slots.
There are a lot of exciting new classes rolling out at VIBE this fall. One that we're thrilled to share is the live in-studio experience of VIBE Thai Pads/Cardio Kickboxing with VIBE trainer Grabiel Meza! Today, we're introducing you to Grabiel and sharing his story!

When it comes to bridal party fashion, all eyes tend to be on the bride and her bridesmaids. However, these days the guys are coming more into the spotlight. And they should! With a wide variety of styles and attractive apparel options available for men, groomsmen blending into the background is a thing of the past.
The downside to naturally lit wedding photos is the lack of control that comes with them. You're not limited to existing lighting at any given spot with artificial lighting. A flash can do the trick if an indoor or outdoor space is darker than planned or the natural light isn't photographing well!

Welcoming a new baby is such an exciting time for a growing family! A precious new baby brings so much joy-and yes, a whole new idea of what "well-rested" means for parents. New parents experience so many emotions, and amidst all of the joy of bringing home a new baby, there's a whole lot of adjusting going on!
The last couple of years have been a pretty wild ride for everyone, and I'm no exception! Constant changes in the world due to the pandemic and growth and HAPPENINGS in my business, 2021 was quite the year.
Any day, the temperatures will be warmer, the days will be brighter, and all of nature's colors will be on display. When spring comes around, it's a photographer's dream and families can enjoy shiver-free outdoor sessions! As you plan your family's outfits for your photos, I encourage you to tie in some fun hues with accessories and accents.
Even if a business owner creates nice graphics and catchy content for social media, without personal brand photography, their business isn't going to come across as being as professional or legitimate as the competition. The problem is, not everyone loves being in front of the camera or is comfortable sharing photos of themselves.
For entrepreneurs with personal brands, the right imagery is crucial to connecting with your audience and making a lasting impression on them. Beautiful and strategic personal brand photos are the secret sauce to building relationships with your followers.
Personal branding photos are an excellent tool to have in your small business arsenal. Sure, the images are beautiful, and they make you look great. But when leveraged correctly, they are so much more. A well-executed personal branding photo gallery has the potential to transform the way you're perceived by your clients and change the way you connect with them.
For some solopreneurs and professionals, a photoshoot all about them is something they can't wait to do! For others, it can be a little nerve-racking... even scary. I get it! Having all the attention on you isn't everyone's cup of tea.
We've all been there: You're mindlessly scrolling social media and an image catches your eye. It's someone who looks interesting, likable, and professional. You click on their profile to see what they do. With one image, that entrepreneur caught your attention. That's the power of personal branding photos!

As a business owner, your zone of genius is probably related to the service or product you offer. And unless that happens to be branding and design, those things might not come easily to you. From figuring out fonts to creating a cohesive-looking feed on Instagram, it can be really challenging for business owners to navigate branding design.
There are many things for entrepreneurs to consider when creating a new business. Establishing your brand should be high on the list of priorities. Quality branding will help you relay who you are and what you do. It allows you to develop relationships with your audience, and stand out from the competition.
Branding plays a powerful role in how your business is perceived and ultimately in its success. You've worked hard to build credibility and to promote your products and services. As your business shifts and grows, so should your branding. The process of rebranding can help you to demonstrate how your business has evolved.
People's qualities and characteristics determine how you feel about them. Similarly, your brand's personality shapes people's opinion of your brand. Your brand's personality is how your brand connects with your target audience and how they will perceive you. Developing a brand personality is essential to make sure you are attracting the right people.
Pinterest has been a game-changing tool for my business. The platform has been the biggest traffic driver to my website and brings in more sales and leads than any other marketing or business development activity. And the best part? There is no funky algorithm impacting my engagement.
The end of the year is fast approaching. Now is the time to strategize for 2021 and develop plans to make the next year a success. Whether you have aspirations for yourself, your business, or your health, 2021 can be a year in which you turn your hopes into realities.
A good marketing strategy is essential for every service-based business. After all, you can't build an interested and engaged audience if you don't learn who you are and what you can do for them. Regardless of where you are in your business' growth, there are several marketing assets every service-based business needs to succeed.
Growing an email is important for any business. Your email subscribers are people who are already interested in your business on some level. And perhaps most importantly, you own and control your connection to them - as opposed to social media, where ever-changing algorithms make it more difficult than ever to convert followers into customers.
Developing a vision, or your idea of what you want your business to ultimately be, is an integral part of building your business' success. When you consider what you want to accomplish, how you want to build your brand, and what you're striving for in the big picture, you shape a vision that everything you do in your business should support.
Building your email list is an essential strategy for any small business today. However, with the countless emails we all receive daily, it's necessary to incentivize your target customers to subscribe. That's where lead magnets come in Lead magnets, or free resources you provide in exchange for someone's email address, are the key to developing your email list and cultivating an audience of engaged prospective customers.
Branding can be a daunting piece of your business. I get it, it's hard to navigate the many moving parts, keep track of everything, and organize your elements. Hey, even as a branding designer, I struggle with this in my business!

Innovation is the key to society's ability to move forward, explore possibilities, and create the tools and resources we need to advance. While inventors throughout U.S. history have made valuable contributions that individuals across the country use today, inventing has long been a concept practiced and explored primarily by white males.
Your law firm's diversity and inclusion statement should do more than communicate that your diversity and inclusion committee exists and what it hopes to do. It should establish the committee's purpose and emphasize the valuable contributions your firm expects to make to its environment and culture.
Your law firm's commitment to diversity and inclusion is a reflection of its principles and values. While a diversity and inclusion statement is an essential first step for creating a proactively inclusive environment, taking action to promote diversity in and outside of your firm is critical to "walking the walk" and making meaningful change.
The time when large corporations could talk about diversity and inclusion without taking real steps, themselves, to create change has passed. Today, the importance of diversity and inclusion in workplaces, communities, and across the country is growing.
If your law firm has explored ways to become more diverse and inclusive, you may have heard mention of the Mansfield Rule. Large law firms across the country have committed to the Mansfield Rule Certification requirements regarding diversity and representation, and the mission Diversity Lab has for this program.

As COVID-19 vaccinations are becoming widely available across the U.S. for adults, many parents are navigating the uncharted territory of living through a pandemic life with vaccinated adults and unvaccinated children under 12 years old. Approval of a vaccine for children under 12 is targeted for the end of this year .
Curiosity is truly a magical part of childhood. Everything in the universe, great and small, is new to children. Learning how to navigate their curiosity to learn about the world around them gives children skills they need to explore, discover, and eventually become productive and engaged members of society.
Every child will encounter peer conflicts in their youth and certainly in adulthood. Learning how to navigate those scenarios productively is a skill that will serve children well in every area of their lives, during school years and beyond. At STEMful, we have made restorative practice a central concept in our teaching approach.
Fall at STEMful is a wonderful time for learning and continuing fun from the summer! This year, we are thrilled to give families in our community various enrichment classes and programs to add value to their children's educational experience.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) concepts are a foundation for lifelong learning. At STEMful, we want all children to build confidence in how they navigate the world so they are prepared to solve future problems. The great thing about STEM concepts?
Parents with school-aged children during the COVID-19 pandemic have experienced unique circumstances and challenges surrounding their education. That is why at STEMful, we're proud to provide after-school programs for our community that support quality learning experiences for children help their parents carry the weight of managing their education.
What comes to mind when you think of outdoor learning for children? Perhaps you think of loud outdoor voices, laughs, and discoveries under the sun. While outdoor learning is certainly a fun adventure for children, more importantly, it's a valuable educational experience as well.
Parents have a lot on their plates during the school year. There are logistics like drop-offs and pickups, activities, and outings. Then, there's the responsibility of ensuring your children have experiences that help them learn, grow, and thrive. It's quite the load to bear for any parent!
At STEMful, play is an integral part of our educational programs for children. When children have fun while learning, it helps them develop a passion for exploring and understanding the world around them! Sensory science is a fascinating subject area in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education for children.
There's nothing quite like seeing the excitement and wonder in your children's eyes as they learn something new. For parents, setting up and participating in STEM learning activities at home is a great way to spend time with your child while supporting their education. The best part?
Imagine strolling out to your hive to see your bees and realizing... your hive is gone. It's a terrible discovery for any beekeeper. Unfortunately, hive theft - also known as bee rustling - happens to beekeepers all over the US.
Fall hive inspections are the most important visits you'll make to your hive all year. They're when you can see just how well your ladies have been preparing for winter and an opportunity for you to step in and lend a hand where they might need it.
The desiccant included in our Winterizing Kit is a simple yet effective tool for keeping your bees safe and healthy through the winter. It's a nylon case filled with wood shavings that protects your bees from three of the most dangerous threats they face during the winter: excess moisture, lack of ventilation, and extreme cold.
Mickey and Minnie, Stuart Little, Mighty Mouse, Speedy Gonzalez, and more. There are plenty of mice we all know and love. But the mice who decide your beehive is their winter oasis? Not so much. You might even despise them.
September and October are busy months for your bees. They're working hard to prepare the hive for the cold to come, and you're probably noticing some changes in their behaviors and activities. Today we'll discuss what your bees are up to this fall, and how you can support their efforts to prepare for the winter ahead.
It's hard to bee-lieve winter is just a couple of months away. You've taken good care of your bees all year, and now it's time to help them stay warm and safe through the cold season ahead. Do harsh winter temperatures make you want to snuggle up inside?
Interested in beekeeping, but don't have a backyard or lush nature at your fingertips? No problem! Urban beekeeping is rising in popularity, and beekeepers have happy and healthy colonies on patios, rooftops, and other city spots around the world. While urban and rural beekeepers have the same responsibilities to care for their bees, they deal with different environmental and logistical factors.
As beekeepers, we're often inspired by the many ways we see our bees working together and as a community to accomplish things in their hives. Just like we help each other by sharing information, techniques, and experience working with bees, bees communicate and collaborate to get things done.
While warm and balmy August still lingers, crisp fall days will be here before we know it. Just like you might start loading up on your favorite fall spices and baking essentials, bees are hard at work assembling their food stores and getting the hive ready for the colder months ahead.
Today, we're breaking down how you can bring your A-game to every hive inspection with our top hive inspection tips! Take our advice and make your next inspection a productive, informative, and pleasant experience for both you and your bees. Choosing the right timing and conditions to perform your inspection plays a big part in its success.
Long before honey bees were introduced to North America in the 1600s, native (or wild) bees were doing their thing across the continent. While honey bees make important contributions to our agricultural system, native bees play an equally, if not bigger role in pollination.
Today we're covering everything you need to know about forage: how bees use it, where they get it, and what sources they enjoy the most. We're also giving you tips for creating a sustainable garden, full of delicious plants for bees and other pollinators. Let's get started!
It's a busy time of year for honeybees, and the bees breeds who call our bee yard their home are no exception. We installed the hives, the bees are used to their new digs, and now it's time for them to get to work!
It's a moment beekeepers dread. You head out to your hive to pay your bees a visit and see how they're doing. As you open it up and go to pull out a frame, you're faced with a frustrating and confusing sight.
Think about building a home from the ground up. What's the first thing to address before you can start adding walls and other structures? The foundation. Level hives are key to a safe and productive life for bees, just as level ground is vital to a sturdy home for people.
With beekeeping, any mention of "safety" is usually concerning a beekeeper's protection. But today we're going to talk about safety for the other half of the beekeeping equation... the bees! Sure, beekeepers should protect themselves as they go about their work. But it's just as important that we protect our winged friends.
One of the most exciting things about bees, an aspect of their anatomy that scientists have spent countless hours studying over the years, is their phenomenal sight. For being such small creatures, the way bees view the world is almost un-bee-lievable. What they can see and understand is incredible!
"Today's the day!" the drone bee squealed as he woke up that fateful summer morning. He'd made trips to drone congregation areas before, hoping to meet his queen, only to come back to the hive, sad and loveless, every time. He knew he was running out of time - drone bees like him don't usually live longer than eight weeks!
Nonreproductive swarms can cause some serious head-scratching for beekeepers. When more than half of your colony has flown the coop at a time of year you're not expecting them to swarm, you might be wondering what they're up to and why.
