[EDIT: SOLD OUT! Subscribe at wellstruck.com/subscribe for future event info] . Meet Nicole Cole of @vestigehome, our co-host for #WellstruckLadyBoss this Tuesday 10/24 at @vaultandvine.co in Philly. This one is especially for product-based businesses, and also for bosses who directly support product-based businesses (retail, PR, copywriters; photographers; etc.). . #WellstruckLadyBoss is an ongoing event series and community for ambitious entrepreneurs. These round table meet-ups are intimate (12 women); productive (each person gets a chance to ask the group a question); and super laid back (fun!). . When we asked Nicole why others should join us, she said, “#WellstruckLadyBoss is a great way to connect with fellow women entrepreneurs. It offers a supportive and encouraging environment to share and learn from one another about running your own business. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely and at times you may be tempted to feel that you are alone in the challenges that you face, the lady boss events help to break down that barrier to see that we're all facing similar things in our businesses.”
My brain this week:💥. It’s kinda bonkers and kinda great. Who can relate?
So who else is on my client wishlist right now? Entrepreneurs who aren’t afraid to get a little weird, bright, and fun! Brands that value uniqueness. Businesses that want their brand to stand out — they are willing (and excited!) to take a risk and have some out-there new branding that is true to them *and* truly memorable. Variety is fun and it makes you stand out. . Handset letterpress heart print by @gingerlypress commissioned for @heartanddash to mail as gifts to their clients. 📷: @michelesuits
Floating this out into the universe: I would LOVE to brand a restaurant (or food truck!). It’s been on my wishlist for a while. Concept, color, logo, menus, website, all the fun little details — yes please!
She set the date! The @luxeblade brand is officially launching a week from today: 10/24/17! So excited for you, CEO Candace 🥂 . If you’re in the microblade / pmu industry, watch out for this one, because your clients are going to LOVE her new aftercare perfecting serum. . One of our favorite things about this brand is the CEO’s moonshot goal: to be able to fund free microblading to chemo patients via its future sister non-profit. 🙌
Last call for tickets to #WellstruckLadyBoss with @nayocartergray of 1st step accounting at @artifactcoffee! Tix via link in profile (sales end at 11am the day of the event). . #WellstruckLadyBoss is an intimate roundtable of women business owners where each attendee gets a chance to ask a question. During her time (about five minutes), any other attendee can chime in to discuss answers and solutions. It all happens over coffee, wine, or cocktails — so the vibe is super laid back and fun. Hope to see you there!
It’s about to be a *real* productive week, hey! Who’s with me? (Ahem, clearly #smallspup is not)
The @fearlessconf was powerful, inspiring, welcoming, and fun — just like last year, but also some how better. Thank you @ringthealam, your team, your volunteers, your sponsors, and every speaker for such a special event. I will continue telling all the women I know that it is not to be missed! You are the queen of building the kind of community we all need and crave. Thank you 🖤
We still have a handful of seats left for our #WellstruckLadyBoss event this Tuesday 10/17 at @artifactcoffee in Baltimore! Scoop 'em up via link in profile. The theme for Tuesday is *Money Management*, so bring those business money questions you've been shy to ask when setting up your business. . Our co-host this month is @nayocartergray of 1st Step Accounting (pictured), and you're going to love her because she's so smart and will undoubtedly make you laugh, too. . In our interview with Nayo, she shared some good advice for this time of year: "Consult with an accountant / tax preparer BEFORE the end of the year preferably around mid October. This consultation could help you save on taxes before its too late to do anything about that tax bill."
Z is for Zero. Sarah Zero. Embrace whatever makes you memorable. . In other news... I jump at the chance to get my hands dirty and play with different media to add depth, texture, and subtle storytelling to designs for my clients (like this pattern). Totally don't even remember what I stamped these Z's with (note to self: make notes in the future), but experimental printmaking is something I love to do while cozying up during cooler weather.
