𝒮𝒽𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝑀𝒪𝑀𝒮 . . First and foremost, Happy New Year everyone. I feel like I just got settled into the 2020 flow, what about you!? . Well, Yesterday my sister in law Marisa aka @the_conscious_mommy and I spent the entire day developing an upcoming workshop and tool for women, female entrepreneurs, mothers, and those looking to crush the FOMO and step into their Rainbow Reality. 🌈(More on that coming soon 😉) . Throughout the day we were also taking care of this precious little nugget, my 4 month old Nephew Nash. And WOW - I was so inspired by the way Marisa multi-tasked, mothered like a champ, and continued to plow through our think tank with such grace. . Whether Nash was crying, feeding, pooping, squirming, or giggling we were there for him without missing a beat in our massive brainstorm. . I feel so proud to be a woman, we are strong yet gentle, giving yet self sufficient, and so fiercely full of love and compassion. ♥️ . It is amazing how we can do it all if we choose to! I never felt my ovaries more yesterday and excited for the future in so many ways. ✨(No- Nothing to share yet!) . Pat yourselves on the back Mommas! Tag a momma or care taker who deserves to the love! ⤵️ . . . #thursdaythoughts #womanempowerment #femaleentrepreneur #millennialmom #consciousaf #rainbowreality #fuckfomo #millennialtalk #mindfulness
As business owners, it’s no secret we want to stand out and 𝗣 𝗢 𝗣 through the clutter -- and there’s a good reason for this. Millennials are drawn to disruptive brands. We’re naturally attracted to businesses that push the envelope and remain consistent in their unique, purposeful messaging. So, ask yourself: What is it that makes your brand unique and compelling? In other words, what is your signature? And how will you use it to drive traffic to your brand? If you don’t know the answer yet, that’s totally fine. My goal here is to introduce you to a concept that is guaranteed to get your gears turning. It’s something that has personally made a huge difference in my own business. Yet, strangely, it’s rarely talked about. I’m talking about creating a signature traffic builder. There are many ways to create traffic, but a signature traffic builder is the unique plan of action and content your brand commits to. Your signature traffic builder might be a blog, podcast, twitter chat like #Millennialtalk, Facebook Live series, email newsletter or webinar (or whatever other inventive, amazing idea you have that is relevant to your business). Whatever method you decide to employ, you’re going to be creating consistent, deliberate content that will drive brand awareness, traffic and engagement to your business... . . 🔸SO WHAT'S YOUR SIGNATURE? . . ⚡️⚡️⚡️For more #PersonalBranding Tips & Info on building your sɪɢɴᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ ᴛʀᴀғғɪᴄ ʙᴜɪʟᴅᴇʀ go ahead and check out my IG Stories or link in Bio...Tap Tap⚡️⚡️⚡️ . . #personalbranding #signaturetrafficbuilder #growthmarketing #millennialmarketing #millennialtalk #millennialspeaker #brandingcoach 💄MAKEUP💄by @rachelsbrides.....

All my life I have watched my father, Stuart Krost, hustle unlike any other person I have ever witnessed. My dad is a Physiatrist who has owned his own medical practice since 1993 and today has 5 offices across South Florida.. . Talk about ambition, this man starts his day at 4am everyday and most nights wraps it up around 8pm or later. Growing up his motivation and drive to succeed was always awe inspiring and lit a fire within my brother and I to strive to be our best, work hard, and play harder. As successful as my dad is, he is equally as humble, gracious, and charitable to his family, friends, and those in need. My dad and I have a lot in common and he is always one of my favorite people to turn to for business advice or motivation.. . So I recently asked him, “What has fueled and continues to fuel your ambition over the past 20+ years" - and his response was “Strong Coffee (we both love @fitzcoldbrew ), family time, celebrating both small and big wins, rewarding yourself, and fast wheels!” .. . Dad, I’m so proud of what you have accomplished and thank you for being the absolute best role model a daughter could ask for. You deserve everything and more…even this incredibly loud, insanely fast, and ridiculously good-looking Lamborghini. LET’S RIDEEE🔥 . . . 💭In the spirit of giving, tag someone below who’s ambition & hustle inspires you to #gomakeyourmark 🏷 🔻 . . . #hustle #fridaymotivation #fitzcoldbrew #coldbrewcoffee #coffeelover #fastwheels #lamborghini #prouddaughter
