Donald Miller had a great video about breaking down your website "cognitive load." As a small business owner, your goal isn’t to sound like the smartest person in the room,it’s to be the most understood. When we use "high cognitive load" language, those long, complicated paragraphs about our history or our "process," it’s like handing our customers an 8-pound bowling ball. Eventually, they’re going to drop it and walk away because it’s just too much work to carry. Instead, lower the shelf. Use simple statements that solve the customer’s problem immediately. When you simplify your message, you stop handing out bowling balls and start handing out balloons. People will actually listen because it’s easy to engage. Thank you Donald. Miller!

Write YOUR story!
Me again. I am working on my origin story today so I asked Claude.AI to help me give y'all a template to work on yours with me! I can't wait to know your story! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vl20-lk6fgkns-iMvpnBZFH8DeijxzcRXdvAirWMMMk/edit?usp=sharing

Who are you waiting for permission from?
A few years ago, I thought I needed permission to charge what I'm worth. Permission to call myself a strategist, not "just" a photographer. Permission to say no to clients who weren't the right fit. Permission to work only Tuesday through Thursday. Permission to show up messy, undone, and still be taken seriously. I kept waiting for someone to tell me I was "ready." So I did what most people-pleasers do: I worked harder. I said yes to everything. I undercharged and over-delivered. I posted what I thought people wanted to see. And I was exhausted. Here's what I finally figured out: Nobody was going to give me permission. Not my competitors. Not the "experts" I was following. Not even my clients. The only person holding me back was me. So I gave myself permission to: āœ”ļø Build my business around my ADHD brain, not against it āœ”ļø Charge $4,500 for a brand refresh (and feel good about it) āœ”ļø Only work 3 days a week āœ”ļø Use AI to scale without burning out āœ”ļø Show up as a messy, Jesus-loving mom building something real And everything changed. My revenue went from $40K to projecting $95K this year. My calendar has margin. My clients get better results because I'm not running on fumes. You don't need permission to build the business you actually want. You just need to stop waiting for someone else to tell you it's okay. What are you waiting for permission to do? Always Chasing Joy, Sara

@Gabriela Goetelen I am here for freeing anyone to know they can create the life they want. We just have to get out our own way!
2026 Starts NOW!
Y'all. My house has been through the flu. The boys and I just went back to normal today after 2 weeks home with them and I sick! Today was my first day BACK to work since I went to Camp Resonate in ATL! Tell me, how is your heart. I have adhd and anxiety so I tend to spin out this time of year! I am working on not scrolling on the youtube and instagram (my 2 weaknesses) and being a more intentional mama this season! Who would want to be a "Be in your feed" challenge with me. Talk to camera, no editing, just authentic videos talking to our stories 3 times a day and in our feed 2 times a week! Omar is my favorite content person in the world, IYKYK!

Challenge- WEEKLY CONTENT CHALLENGE: Be the Content Goal:Stop planning content. Start capturing real work. Rule:No scripting. No re-takes. No worrying about where it will be posted.Film first. Decide later. Time Commitment:10–15 minutes per day That’s it. Monday — The Context Clip Film a 30–60 second video answering:ā€œWhat am I focused on this week and why does it matter?ā€ Examples:• Sitting at your desk before work starts• Walking into the office• Coffee + notebook moment This sets context and builds trust. Tuesday — The Process Clip Film yourself doing the thing:• Prepping for a call• Reviewing a document• Setting up a project• Brainstorming on paper or whiteboard No talking required. Add text later if needed. Wednesday — The Insight Clip Film right after a meeting, call, or decision. Prompt:ā€œHere’s something I explained today that most people struggle withā€¦ā€ This is where authority is built. Thursday — The Human Clip Share a slice of real life:• A walk• Lunch• Workout• Home office moment• Something you’re learning or working through This builds relatability, not distraction. Friday — The Reflection Clip Answer one question on camera:• What worked this week?• What surprised me?• What I’d do differently next time This positions you as thoughtful and experienced. šŸ“‹ WHAT TO FILM THIS WEEK (No Thinking Required) Use this list when your brain says ā€œI have nothing to post.ā€ Work & Process • Before a call starts • After a call ends • Opening your laptop • Closing your laptop • Reviewing notes • Setting priorities • Editing or revising something • Planning next steps Teaching Moments • A question you answered today • A mistake you see often • A misconception in your industry • Something you used to do wrong • A small win a client had Behind the Scenes • Desk setup • Tools you use daily • Notes on your screen (no sensitive info) • Whiteboard or notebook • Calendar view (zoomed out) Human Connection • Coffee or lunch break • Walk between meetings
