    I want to make baby clothes for my little girl and I love your colors. I’m a photographer and I want soft colors with natural light outside. This is exactly how I feel sometimes.

    Hi! Great video. I have a small business at home that is slow getting started. How do I promote on social media that doesn’t sound like I’m bragging or being pushy? I just don’t know how to word things.

      Hey Alicia,
      Congrats on starting your business! Some advice I've been given to share about my business is to share how products will help solve people's problems. This isn't bragging or being pushy, it is naturally sharing your product. And when you have something that will help people (beautiful things also help people!), people will naturally latch on. Stay consistent with your brand values and over time it will grow. I recommend this book: amzn.to/32TPvbF
      All the best,
      Courtney
