The words I needed, and maybe you do too?

“Progress isn’t linear”


You’ve probably heard it, right Reader? Well… Seems like I needed a reminder and here it is, to remind you too that all you’re doing right now is more than enough.


(You should probably also write that down somewhere.)


My point? I believe in you and I know growing your business can feel scary, and not gonna lie sometimes kinda lonely. So I just wanted to spread a little cheer and encouragement your way. 💜


Ain’t it rad how we all have a different definitions of success? (yes, I say rad, I'm old, sorry not sorry). Took me too long to realize. The comparison monster is relentless at times.


But then it seems that life knows what you need, and at the most random moments, you get that little extra push.


My push came in the form of messages from past clients sharing how the work we did together (one was a brand + web design, the other a Showit shop) helped them break their goals beyond expectations.


When I heard “my shop grew from a handful of products to over 200. I can pay my mortgage with that revenue alone every month”...instant teary eyes.


And as I cried over my keyboard, I also got a sweet DM: “Crushed my 100K goal by over 30K and it’s not even the end of the year yet and it’s all because of the website you built me”.


I was a puddle. A puddle!


I’m a bit emotional, but it was definitely the push I didn’t know I needed to remind myself that progress isn’t linear. That what I do matters.


I think we really do all need to be reminded, it fuels our days to keep moving forward (or sideways, whichever way your progress looks like today).

Let me celebrate YOUR success: tell me something that makes you proud in your journey. ✨

Cheers to your success,

Ingrid

Or black in my ever so monochromatic closet… 😅 Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about choosing colors for a brand. It's not just about randomly picking pretty colors from a mood board. It's about finding those perfect hues with the right...

While digital products can indeed...

FREEBIES | SERVICES | SHOP | EDUCATION | STUDENT LOGIN Hi Reader, I was waiting for my tea to brew and had a thought — when was the last time you took a good, hard look at your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)? You know, that one thing that sets you apart from all the others? It's like your secret sauce. And trust me, eeeeeveryone loves a good sauce. Now, I'm a big fan of real, tangible examples. Why? Because abstracts are, well,...
