As the Year of the Snake wraps up, I’ve been thinking about what needed to be shed in my business.
Here are 5 things I'm done with this year:
🐍 1. Undervaluing My Time.
No more opening my laptop without clear terms.
🐍 2. Undervaluing My Skills.
No more doubting my expertise and second guessing my decisions.
🐍 3. Underestimating My Voice.
Diluting and softening my perspectives to avoid judgement. Byyyyeeeeee
🐍 4. Sacrificing My Health for Hustle Culture. Ugh this one has gone on for way too long. My health routine comes before business, no exceptions.
🐍 5. Who I Work With Matters. No more saying yes just because an opportunity looks good on paper but has a million red flags 🚩.
Curious what you're refining your business right now as we shed this year of the snake...
Thank you! Working on it along side you! No more undervaluing our time!
Number four is pretty high on my list. I'm currently looping through fatigue and burn out.
Agreed! Healthy habits like meditation and daily breaks to stretch my legs are the first things to go when I get busy. NOT ANY MORE! Making these and others healthy habits a priority!

Another website done for my client — UrbanPipe Solutions😊
Designed in Framer. It was fun but also challenging to complete. Learned a lot while building this plumbing business website — especially about keeping it clean, clear, and conversion-focused.
Every project gives me new experience ✨
Good Design
If you actually executed every campaign idea you’ve started, your business would look completely different. But as a solopreneur or business owner with a small team, you’re wearing all of the hats and your best ideas often get stuck in drafts instead of going live.
In my latest YouTube release, I’m sharing the four-part campaign execution system I developed when I was the only marketer responsible for driving $10M in sales and how you can use it to consistently finish what you start.
You’ll learn how to separate your work into clear modes so you can move from idea to execution without burning out or constantly second-guessing yourself.

Love this execution is where ideas actually turn into impact, and it’s so easy for great concepts to get stuck in drafts. Excited to check out your system and see how you’ve structured it to consistently move from idea to action without burning out. Valuable insights for any solopreneur!

Opened my UBA app.
it felt overwhelming,
All I wanted was speed.
Transfer. Top up. Balance. Done.
Too many choices slow decisions.
So I redesigned it using Hick’s Law.
Less clutter.
More clarity.
Faster actions.
