I need to tell you something. I get burned out a lot.

Running a creative business REQUIRES you to stay creative.

And sometimes creating something is hard.

And you have to put your heart and soul into it.

And it’s scary.

And you just want to sit and eat chips on the couch. Just me?

The one thing I’ve found to get me excited about the work I’m doing is taking a break to recharge. I’m all about that business section of Barnes & Noble book life. Sometimes I just go and sit in the aisle and skim the books to get ideas that spark that entrepreneur mindset.

Oh, and I always judge a book by it’s cover. Sorry, it’s the designer in me.

All of these 12 books I’ve read, or listened too (#lazy), and highly recommend if you need that extra kick-in-the-pants to remind you the work you’re doing matters. If you’re interested in

And then eat the chips.

Copy + Content Toolkit

details →

I used the prompts exactly as they were — no second-guessing. My site finally reflects the quality of my work.

"It felt like a creative therapy session."

Alex, Website Strategist

I thought I needed a copywriter. Turns out, I just needed the right questions. This toolkit helped me reconnect with my why. I’ve bought courses, templates, even hired pros But this toolkit did more for me in one afternoon than all of them combined.

"Worth triple the price! Plus 36 Showit Designs...THIS IS AMAZING!"

Morgan, Creative Studio Owner

I stopped hiding behind vague copy and started writing like the expert I am. Clients noticed. So did my confidence.
