For the bulk of my career, I worked for a corporate entity. At one point I managed six stores in a chain of 300 locations.⠀
⠀
In the time I spent in corporate environments, I learned A LOT. I was exposed to things professionally at a young age that shaped the way I approached business for many years to come.⠀
⠀
Some good, some not so good, but all of it was worth it.⠀
⠀
However, breaking some of these “corporate” habits has been a challenge.⠀
⠀
Over the past few years, one of my closest friends has watched me transform my corporate mindset to my small business owner mindset.⠀
⠀
She calls this transformation my “break up with with corporate.” And she’s right. It has been a break up that has taken years.⠀

A happy Friday indeed! This week has been AH-mazin

A happy Friday indeed! This week has been AH-mazing!

We spent the last four days drinking lots of ☕️ and being super focused as we hustled to create our first online course!

@missellenyin and her #paidtocreatechallenge helped us make HUGE strides in preparing to launch our first digital product.

And we did it! 🎉🎉

After many hours of outlining the course and creating content, we finished 15 lessons in a 4-part course!

This course, 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱, will be launched by the end of the month! 🚀

We’ve got some finishing touches to do but we will keep you posted in our Stories with the launch plan and how you can sign up!

Feelig super inspired! ✨✨✨

At the end of last year, we declared a few of Lamplight’s 2021 goals. On the top of our list was creating our first digital product.

What is a digital product, you might ask?

It’s something that can be purchased online that teaches someone something or adds value to their lives. In our case, it will be about marketing things, of course.

We have already identified what this product will look like. The next step is creating the content for it including the sales pages, courses, and downloadable components.

Our first official step towards this goal came today when we joined @missellenyin ‘s #paidtocreatechallenge!

This 3-day challenge includes expert advice and instruction from Ellen who has done this many times before.

It also leaves us inspired with homework to put that information to work creating our course outlines and content.

Tomorrow we will come back to the group with what we did today. By the end of the week, we will have our concept ready to sell.

This is so exciting! Lamplight’s dreams are coming true over here!! 💃💃💃
