Hello!

My name is Cinnamon...like the spice...and I heart blogging almost (ALMOST) as much as I love Netflix. Can we be blogging besties? I'll write, you read. Deal?

It's #nationalmargaritaday! I kind of wish it was #nationaldirtymartini day because if I drink...that's what I like. What's your fave beverage to ring in the weekend? ⁣

Did you hear the news? Paul and I are planning to become Full Time RV'ers sometime next year! We've talked about it forever but of course with military life it's just not possible. But now...there isn't really anything holding us back from making it a reality.⁣
There is so much to plan for and logistics to figure out....and it's funny because for a long time I didn't even want to think about it because it stressed me out. But now that we have fully decided we are doing it and have put it out there in the world, I'm so excited to just get going already!!! Being able to see pretty much the entire country and visit all the people that we know and love and have so many adventures all just feels so exciting to me and and I'm ready!! So now, I need to practice patience and enjoy this stage of getting ready for what will probably be the greatest adventure of our lives! Go follow our journey over at @focusedontheroad if you want to keep up with how we are preparing!! ⁣

**#Squarespace users** I've put it off for far too long for LOTS of different reasons......
🤷🏻‍♀️
BUT some shiny new resources are coming out very soon specifically for PHOTOGRAPHERS who use SQUARESPACE for their business. 🙌🏼
I'm not a web or graphic designer, but I know my way around the backend of Squarespace and I love teaching and showing others all the things they can do with their sites that they never thought possible. 🎉
Having the freedom and knowledge to make quick and easy changes to your website is a powerful thing for small business owners and I know I can help. ❗️
****SO GET READY A FREE Masterclass is coming soon!****

5k/month. Net. That's what I need to make in my business to keep us moving towards our goals.
If you factor in my forecasted expenses of 30k/year that means I need to bring in 90k for the year.
💵
This is around the amount I made in corporate america and the funny thing is I felt really good about it then. Like I had really accomplished something and was successful in my career.
💵
But one thing I noticed in the past few months is that I was starting to feel like my accomplishments didn't measure up...like I can't be seen as a leader or I can teach because for some reason 6 figures has become the benchmark and my goals fall just shy of that.
💵
But when it comes down to it, I don't necessarily want to make multiple 6 or 7 figures in my business. Would it be nice to grow this thing to become a millionaire? Maybe, but I just don't feel like that's the life I really want to lead.
💵
Making enough to keep Paul retired, get us on the road comfortably, giving back to others and our community and living a life with purpose and intention all trumps being insta-famous or pulling in 500k and being stressed and sick and tired all the time.
💵
And I think there are a lot of other people who are doing this business thing who want the same. And I'm here for you...more than 6 figs, less than 6 figs...we all have something we are trying to obtain and that's what we should be focusing on. Let's just do that instead of looking at what others are doing and feeling less than. 💪🏼 #lifeofasmallbusinessowner #businesscoach #communityovercompetition #moneytalk #smallbusiness #privatephotoeditor
And thanks to @thecreativespring and @meganmartincreative for inspiring me to share my thoughts on money!

*For all you introverts out there* I have literally done every single one of these things at parties. (Hiding in the bathroom is a staple!!) 🙈
Some make the assumption that introverts are shy or don't like people and that's why they do these things in social situations. In reality, it has much more to do with energy levels and role clarity. 🤔
Role clarity? What the heck is that? I'm glad you asked. I'm chatting all about it over on @thecreativespeakerpodcast today and it might blow your mind just like it did for @jessicarasdall. I'd love for you to go over to her feed to listen!

So so so pumped and excited to be over on @thecreativespeakerpodcast today chatting with @jessicarasdall all about what it's like speaking at and attending conferences and workshops as an introvert!! This is a subject that I'm super passionate about and love sharing what I've learned about my own (introverted-ness...is that a word?) and how I can help others learn about their own tendencies and how to utilize their strengths in order to help achieve their goals!! I'm also taking over their stories today so come say hi and let me know what you think of the episode!!!
