12 Thoughts #5

1. I've been taking Hannah Eve’s Level Up Course all about scaling a business, creating efficient systems, and content strategies. I am so excited to start implementing everything I'm learning. Traci has always been the queen of doing continuing education, and one of my 2023 goals was to take at least one course a month. Since May, I've taken at least 5. 🤯 I'm in my learning and growing era!

2. I've talked about the Taylor Swift Era's tour on here so many times it's only appropriate that I share I got the freaking tickets (incase you didn't see it on my Instagram). You can see the whole journey in my story highlights here. I originally made a post that I was ISO tickets on the On Brand Instagram, tagging everyone I know in the Chicagoland area and I truly couldn't believe how many people shared it and were trying to help me. If you were one of them, thank you!

3. I've been watching the show Yellow Jackets on Showtime, and holy cow it is so disturbing and wickedly done in the best way. If you want a show that will suck you in and keep you up at night, this is the one.

4. I ordered a cake stand to display my homemade treats on the counter and I truly cannot describe the joy it brings me seeing it stocked with fresh baked cookies.

5. Traci designed a graphic about branding recently for our Instagram and we got like 5 compliments on it from people in our industry. It's so cool having such a talented business partner and for her to get recognized by other talented people.

6. I heard the quote recently, “Nothing is embarrassing if you're not embarrassed," and I feel like it's going to be my new motto. 

7. Lately I've been really grateful for friendship. How freaking cool is it to have a chosen family essentially? And for anyone out there feeling like they don't have many good friends, always remember that when it comes to friends one quarter is better than 10 pennies. Find your quarter. 

8. Today I booked a flight for a Founders Dinner in NYC and a client meeting in Boulder, Colorado. I cannot believe this little company is starting to take me across the country. 

9. We are accepting a couple more clients in July, if you'd like to work with us this summer fill out our inquiry form here

10. I finally ordered some prints for the gallery wall I'm planning to do in my living room and as soon as I started opening them I realized they don't really match at all… I'm trying to pick things to go in my home that are personal to me, so everything I chose reminds me of a place I traveled, favorite song, friends, etc so I guess it matches in that everything has meaning? Idk, I've decided I'm sticking with it and will just see how it goes when it's on the wall. Once it's up I'll share a photo! 

11. Does anyone else feel like they can quite literally conquer the world when doing warrior 2 pose during a yoga workout? I don't think I've ever felt stronger or more ready to kick some ass then when I'm flowing through warrior 2. 

12. We work with so many clients in the aesthetic industry and I'm ashamed to admit that up until a few months ago, I was still using Neutrogena face wash… One of my goals this summer has been to invest more in good skincare and to actually use it ever day! 

I hope you have a fabulous week! 

Cheers, 
Sam
