“Failure to plan, is planning for failure.”

“Failure to plan, is planning for failure.”

One of the most important lessons Christina learned growing up. Her parents would say this phrase often. They wanted to make sure her and her brothers understood the importance of planning and having goals.

This phrase is the more relevant now than ever. Running a business requires a lot of planning, strategizing, re-strategizing, and updating the plans.

There are so many moving pieces and it can be very overwhelming.

Thankfully for us we are blessed to have an amazing business mentor @nataliedarrowbarnes!

She has been coaching us on how to create a solid business plan that will allow us to grow our business.

We are excited to see what the rest of 2021 has in store

LESSON #8: 𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗡’ & 𝗕𝗢𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗡’ 𝗔𝗜𝗡’𝗧 𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗬

I thought this lesson was fitting since yesterday was Mother’s Day💕

Studies have shown that being a mom is the equivalent of working 2.5 full-time jobs (it feels more like 5, but whatev) so if you ask me, I’d say 𝙬𝙚’𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙨.

Becoming a mom has taught me that I am capable of seemingly impossible things. It has shown me a strength I never knew existed.

The universe has given me the privilege of guiding these incredible little souls through life & that’s 𝗮 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱.

Through these early seasons of motherhood it’s easy to get lost in the chaos & feel like you’re stuck in the mess. The same can be said when you’re starting a new business.

So, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗛 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲?! When you’re raising babies & a business?

Many people will say 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 & I have to agree. We sacrifice our bodies, our time, our mental health, our friendships, our snacks, our careers, & sometimes our dreams.

As difficult as it is to juggle being a mother & an entrepreneur, two important things I’ve learned are that tough times don’t last forever & I can be completely in love with both of my dreams all at once.

At the end of the day, when my girls look at me I want them to see a woman that 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 for them & never gave up on 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 so that one day, they can do the same.

LESSON #7: 𝗖𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗪𝗜𝗡🥂🥳

Starting a business for the first time is intimidating, & oftentimes just plain overwhelming.

Getting out of your comfort zone & doing something you’ve never done before requires a strong will, hours of research, endless patience, determination, & a ton of problem solving.

Every single task, no matter the time or effort it took to get through feels like a major accomplishment when you’re building your dream.

From the very beginning the whole process looked so daunting, we knew we needed to focus on tackling one barrier at a time.

We figured it out one way or the other & if we’re being honest, most things we don’t even have completely figured out yet. We just managed to do the best we could to get us one step closer to where we needed to be & with time, came lessons & adjustments. Always keeping in mind that everything we did was progressing our business forward.

So to avoid feeling discouraged by the never ending list of goals & tasks we started to do little things to celebrate every single accomplishment no matter how big or small it was.

Because when we look at the bigger picture, we never want to be so focused on getting to the destination that we forget to enjoy the ride.

Afterall, isn’t the goal to actually “live the dream” everyday?! We can hustle & keep it fun all at the same time, am I right?!

So, what are you waiting for?! Pop a bottle of champagne, do a happy dance, jump up & down, treat yourself to a lil somethin’ special. Whatever it is … CELEBRATE it.

YOU DESERVE IT.

How do you celebrate your wins?

Hello Monday ☀️

There’s our word; DREAM 💭

Spending my morning dreaming up what this week could look like & planning out all of the little things that I need to do to get me closer to my dreams.

Monday’s have always been my least favorite day of the week so I’ve started dedicating my Monday’s to weekly goal setting & planning so I feel inspired & motivated to bust out the rest of the week instead of letting it drag me into the week kicking & screaming 😅 (also not a morning person)

But here’s to TRYING & making little efforts to get you where you want to be.

Like my breakfast in the sun 😋

Here’s a quote for you on this beautiful Monday morning, friends.

“It’s the small habits. How you spend your mornings. How you talk to yourself. What you read & what you watch. Who you share your energy with. Who has access to you. That will change your life.”

Quote from @thefemalehustlers

LESSON #6: 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 & 𝙀𝙣𝙛

LESSON #6: 𝘾𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚 & 𝙀𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 🙅🏼‍♀️

Where do you draw the line as a business owner? How do you create balance in your business & still manage to be present in your personal life?

Here’s a few things I’ve had to realize:

♥ It’s okay to tell them I’ll get to it tomorrow.
♥ I need to turn off my notifications after working hours.
♥ I can allow myself to take time for myself when I need it.

For me, boundaries are there to remind me of what’s most important & that’s my family, my physical & mental wellbeing, & my other relationships.

At the end of the day, I love growing my business & helping other small businesses but nothing is more important than those three things. No amount of money is worth that sacrifice.

I try to create as much balance as possible but the truth is, being a wife, a mother, & a business woman is a delicate balancing act & it is vital to set boundaries so that I can maintain that balance as much as possible.

I’ve always liked the “juggling act” reference because it’s so true. As women, we juggle so much & sometimes we drop the ball (or two) but that’s alright. 🤹‍♀️ IT’S LIFE. I’ve struggled with this one because I don’t want to fail.

Boundaries allow me to keep doing what I love without getting burnt out.

But, most importantly, they help me protect my joy & stay sane! (You know, for everyone’s sake 😅🤪)

I’m curious, What are some boundaries you’ve set in your business?

LESSON #5: 𝗪𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗕

Hi everyone!! 👋 It’s my turn to (re)introduc

Hi everyone!! 👋

It’s my turn to (re)introduce myself.

My name is Christina and I am the woman behind the scenes strategizing and writing copy for us and our clients 👩🏼‍💻

I have always been a very strategic and numbers oriented person. I guess that’s what happens when you’re the daughter of a math teacher 🤓

I had a few different ideas of what I wanted to be when I grew up. But it wasn’t until I attended @murrowcollege that I knew I wanted to have a career in strategic communication. There I learned about how the way we communicate is ever evolving and how to capture the attention of an audience.

I am very competitive and am always pushing myself to try new things. As my mom always says I have no fear.

That desire to push myself coupled with the support I have from my friends and family is what made me take the leap of faith. Starting my own business has been one of the scariest and best decisions I have ever made.

That’s a little bit about me!

LESSON #4: 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳, 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀😎

This was a big one!

A little back story. Leading up to starting Heart & Social. Both Brianna and I worked together and had outgrown our old company. We both applied for different jobs but as we all know. The job hunt process is a bit of a bear. Recruiters either wouldn’t get back to us or we’d get to the final interview and they’d want to go with someone else with more experience. Unfortunately this is a common narrative.

Anyways, various people in our lives encouraged us to start our own business. For me, it was my mom and dad. (Shout out to Mike & Jodi! Without you two I would not have this life I love!) It took a bit of encouragement from our support systems because we weren’t sure if we had enough experience to go out on our own. But we took the leap of faith.

Before starting, we saw how other businesses operated and we wanted to do it differently. But we were made to feel that being different was bad. Over this past year the biggest obstacle we’ve had to overcome is our own self doubt. Getting over our fear of imposter syndrome. Personally answering my own question of: Am I a naive 23 year old that doesn’t know how the world of business works?

Let me tell you we are not imposters! We know our stuff when it comes to social media and branding. We are always adding to that knowledge. I am not a naive now, 24 year old! Each time we would accomplish a goal or reach an important milestone it eliminated a little more of our doubt. Each time we handle a business matter our way and it actually works. More doubt was eliminated.

Now there are still days where one of us is feeling a little bit of doubt and that’s been one of the advantages of having a business partner. We are able to lean on each other.

To any of you who are thinking of starting a business I say you got this! Surround yourself with a support system and anything is possible. Your way of doing things is the best way to do things for your business.

👋🏼 Hiiii! it’s been a while since we intro

👋🏼 Hiiii! it’s been a while since we introduced ourselves so this is me in a nutshell 🤓

All my peeps call me Bri & I’m the gal behind all the sparkly new brands & websites you see on our feed.

I have been creating art since I can remember which is probably since like the 4th grade when I started taking art classes after school at the @tacomaartmuseum 👩🏼‍🎨

Fast forward to high school where I dabbled in anything from glass art & film photography to jewelry making & painting🎨

It wasn’t until college that I started playing around with graphic design & completely fell in love with it 👩🏼‍💻

I’m a chronic over thinker & I set really high standards for myself.

Starting my own business was the scariest thing I’ve ever done but it’s forced me to face every fear head on & become the brave woman I am today.

I do what I do because it’s a part of who I am & always has been. Creating art feeds my soul & keeps me sane. So why not do it for a living?!

This is me 🤪

CREATE YOUR OWN LUCK 🌈✨

Keep putting in the work & you’ll find yourself surrounded by opportunities you’ve only ever dreamed up & by so many people that believe in you.

Then before you know it you’ll find yourself reading reviews like this & getting all choked up because you know all your hard work is paying off.

Do you think luck can be made? Or is it all just up to chance?

Happy St.Patty’s Day! 🍀

This week we were finally able to sit down & enjoy

This week we were finally able to sit down & enjoy lunch with our friend Marie from @good.global.vibes 💖

When we started working with Marie she lived in Hawaii & since then has moved to California & this week she was in town visiting with her family so we got to meet face to face for the first time over lunch at @tidestavern.

It felt so good to be able to connect with her in person after working together virtually for months.

We shared stories & laughed & it reminded us how grateful we are for our clients that have turned into friends 💕

Her website & branding are doing exactly what they were designed to do, attract new clients to her business & effectively communicate the quality of her work & the services she provides.

We love this for her! When she wins, we do too & nothing feels better than getting to share in her excitement over the success of her new business 🥳

We revamped all of their social media profiles to reflect their new branding & have already begun adding an online shop to their website so stay tuned for that!

Hey guys! I got something in the mail that I have

Hey guys!

I got something in the mail that I have been patiently waiting a few months for. It’s my new suit that I ordered from @holdette Let me just say, this suit is amazing 🤩

A little back story. I heard about this suit last summer because the founder of Holdette, Sarah Greisdorf, was interviewed on the same podcast that I was. On the podcast, Sarah talked about how Holdette saw that women’s suits were seriously lacking proper pockets. So they set out to fill that need.

When I say they went above and beyond I am not exaggerating. The jacket has two massive pockets on the outside and four pockets on the inside. The pants also have huge pockets. I can fit so much stuff in them; my phone, wallet, keys, hand sanitizer, and most importantly snacks! On top of that, the suit is very comfortable.

If you want to learn more about Holdette. Check out their website. Or listen to Sarah’s Episode of @frndlymedia’s podcast Groundbreaking. It’s the first episode.

I can’t wait to wear my new suit and I will definitely be posting some photos in it. So stay tuned ✨

LESSON #3: 𝙍𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨👭🏼🤝

Where do I even begin with this one?

The majority of our business has come from referrals. That in and of itself is a blessing because that shows we have a strong camp of people in our corner that want us to succeed. They have also helped us stay afloat.

But it’s not only that. The working relationship you have with referral clients is just so much better. 𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚, 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙧 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩.

Let me explain. If you're a business owner who offers a service, especially a service like the ones we offer. You know that there are some clients that aren’t a good fit. They don’t understand the value of what you do and often question the benefits. In our experience, referral clients are not these types of clients. They come to us and say “so and so recommended you to me. If they trust you I trust you.”

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧.

Also, more times than not, a client that is referred to us will also tell their friends and family about us. So far our longest referral train is three clients. But we are hoping to have a longer one this year!🥳
