Throughout our business we've always made it a point to invest in education, whether it be through courses, mentors or coaches, we've always valued learning new skills. If I could go back in time, the very first thing i'd invest in would be mindset coaching. What I've come to realize over the last few years is that mindset really is what creates the ceiling of what one is able to achieve. Fortunately, I've been introduced to a lot of different resources both in people and programs that focus on just that. These past few years have taught me that focusing on mindset is just as important as focusing on my physical health.As always, links and resources can be found in the show notes.

There's a lot to think about when it comes to running a small business. Especially if you want to stand out.There's a delicate balance business owners must walk between resonating with potential clients or customers, demonstrating their uniqueness and delivering on promises. Add to that the noise of social media and generally crowded markets, and it can be hard to feel like you stand out.This is why so many businesses have started putting more emphasis on branding: creating an identity that people will recognize, connect with, and ultimately want to patronize.Maybe you’ve already thought a little bit (or even a lot) about branding. Still, something seems to be missing, even if you can’t figure out what it is.Not to worry—we’ve got a few tips so you can elevate your brand and stand out among your competitors to your target audience.As always, links and resources can be found in the show notes.

We took a little break this summer from producing content. As some of you might know Krista got surgery in the middle of the summer, so some of that break was due to recovery. We also wanted to take some time to rest and recast some vision for our lives and businesses together. So we decided during the month of August we weren't going to produce any new content, we were just going to take some time to think about what this next season looks like for us.Anyways, over the summer, we've picked up some new productivity and energy practices or routines that we thought would be fun to share about. One of them in particular has been a really fun, unexpected, family activity and I'm excited to hear what you think about.As always, links and resources can be found in the show notes.

What are brand guidelines, why should businesses have brand guidelines and how you can create a brand guide for your business, that's what we're covering in today's episode of brand that book. This month is all about brand design over at Davey and Krista HQ. As I mention in the episode, I think it's easy for businesses to skip brand design when they're just getting started, thinking that things like web design are more important or more practical but, in our opinion, that is a critical mistake.
