The End in Mind: Personal Development For Entrepreneurs

Ever wondered why Meraki posts about skincare brands?  Well, this week we are diving into exactly why we love our skincare products and services, where this niche began to develop and why Meraki is never stingy when it comes to promoting other businesses.  I used to hear all the time, ‘Don’t share people in your stories without having an agreement to promote one another,’ as if it were a badge of...

Sometimes sharing or reflecting on where we started is the only way to understand how far we have come.  When I started Meraki I barely knew what building a business would take. I thought that if I can see a better way of living, shouldn't I give it a go? Why not?  Little did I understand what a journey this would be, and how much I would need to change in order to have the lifestyle I desired.  S...

Join me this week for an interview with the Owner of the @themakeuphairco, Heather. Heather shares her story of shifting her business in 2020 to work better for her lifestyle, she also shares her inside scoop on how to create a skincare regime that supports your makeup routine. Since many of my clients are in the beauty industry, I love getting opinions of others when it comes to controversial top...

After getting Reiki two certified, I felt a deeper connection with myself. And by adding this to my tool box it only elevated the connection I feel to others as well.  My coach, @aoifemindbody, mentioned Reiki to me a few years back, but I always felt like ugh, another certification. How could I add one more thing to my plate? She said to let it happen naturally and when it doesn't feel like work,...

Once I realized in college that marketing didn’t have to come from a nasty place. That marketing could actually be changing, the way people purchase is changing so wouldn't the marketing?   In college we took persuasion classes, learned about Cult marketing, how people think, why they are primed to purchase or fall into something vs. another. It was very interesting, but I always wondered how soci...

This year people are really wanting to purchase from a place of knowing that their investment is going to pay off. The purchaser is looking for, authenticity, real answers, results driven content, reasonable expectations, etc.  What we have seen over the past few years especially in the coaching industry is that so many people have been burned, by the wrong coach, over promising and failing on del...

Happy New Year!! Today I am using this journal prompt instead of constantly looking into the future on a day like today - I am taking time to reflect on how far I have come this year instead.  What have I accomplished this year that I did not expect? What was fun in 2023? How can I create more fun and love in my life and business? What was my word for 2023? Did I embody it? What were my wins for 2...

What is your favorite memory from 2023?  Mine would be planning for the future with my boyfriend Sean, spending Island time with him and just a few of our favorite people in the world, walking with Bailey and lazy mornings in bed with my two love bugs. I am going into 2024 bursting with so much love, I am so lucky to have each of you and this life that I live. Thank you all so much for believing i...

What is your favorite social media platform?  Pinterest, Linkedin, Instagram (maybe because you’re here lol), Youtube, Facebook?  I always say, start working with the platform you like the most! Use your experience to help you forecast what is coming from that application and apply your knowledge to it. In time you can crosspost to other platforms, and maybe hire someone to support you! But first,...

Social media can feel really loud this time of year. I have found myself needing more time away from social media, just because this noise can at times really drain me.  So what do we do when it's our busy season and we feel like we “have” to show up, but just don't have the capacity? When building your business it's important to check in with yourself and take breaks, even as a social media manag...

She works with the deep feelers, creatives and - in our case - Highly Sensitives as well!  When you think about art therapy, would you also connect this with nervous system rewiring? This is a topic I have become infatuated with recently. Understandi...

You don’t have to post something just because you just thought of it - now if you feel called to, follow your gut, but if you are skeptical about constantly posting from your intuition, maybe because you’re unable to get consistency - listen up!  When you get an intuitive download, what if you hung on to it? Just for a little while, let yourself immerse in the thought. When I have done this my min...

Once I started to move out of urgency I was able to move into the way I actually wanted to be showing up in the world. Prior I was jumping from task to task, pushing, rushing, squeezing in as much as I possibly could - which left me burnt out, hurt and irritable.  The best example I can think of for this is Miranda Priestly. BTW this is like my favorite movie of all time so please don't come for m...

To build routine you have to start with being brutally honest with yourself, with week we’re speaking with @stacia.root a group fitness instructor, we dive into routines, why aren’t we able to find time to take care of ourselves?  Stacia shares with us, her journey began by looking at her own habits. Was she keeping a promise to herself when she planning her day the day prior was she following thr...

Have you heard of our Vulnerable Networking meetups?  My friend @kristinartodorova created the Hub, @wearecocreated a few months ago, and I knew that she and I were supposed to meet so we could hold space for Vulnerability in business. These aren’t words you normally see in the same sentence right? Vulnerability and Business. But we believe that the two need to marry inorder to show up in full Aut...

This week we are talking about bookkeeping…. That's right, not sexy, but important.  I must share - I am the kind of girl that blocks off 2-3 days in April to go over my numbers, mark every penny spent and share that with my accountant all in a mad dash before just making the deadline by the skin of my teeth. Who's with me?  Lisa Johns @fullofgracebookkeeping is joining us this week on The End in...

Sarah says in today’s episode, networking online Vs in person isn't very different - however when you look at how long it may take you to develop a relationship over zoom or in person, naturally in person accelerates the relationships much faster.  In my own experience, some of the connections I made face to face in the first few years of my business have significantly impacted the growth of my co...

Has anyone seen this new interview of Reality Reckoning with @bethennyfrankel and @raquelleviss ?  If you know me, I am and have always been a reality TV lover - I find it easy to watch and super entertaining. This year most people discovered the show VanderPump Rules because of how intense this year's scandal impacted pop culture. In the past I never had actually stepped back and thought about ho...
