Just don't care what people think! Well, that advice is easier said than done, right? We're trying to start this new business or we're putting ourselves out there or we're doing all of these things that are very much in the public eye. And the first thing we think of is what is my neighbor or my friend going to think? And we let that limit us as we're starting and growing our business. Today I get to talk to my mindset coach Lisa Funk from Hand Lettered Design. She walks us through how we can get over caring what people think. Lisa is also my guide in figuring this out and figuring out my money mindset and all the other things that are holding me back.

We have never had so much access to up to date information about what is happening in the world. This is a new phenomenon and it's also a new phenomenon to have so much influence. So what do we do as a brand when there are current events going on, like a war or social justice issues? Do we speak up? Do we not speak up? It seems like it's a catch 22 and there's no right answer. Well, there actually is a right answer and I get to the bottom of it with my friend, Sharon McMahon from Sharon Says So. This episode was an Instagram Live where I asked Sharon some questions that we can ask ourselves to determine when it's time to speak up and when it's time to just grow our business.
