Monday Musings: Backup Plans, Self-Care & Marketing Moves

 

Happy Monday, friends! ☕️✨ Let’s kick off the week with a mix of humor, nerves, and business strategy—because if there’s one thing I’ve learned as an entrepreneur, it’s that you have to be ready for anything.


Backup Plans & The Elon Effect

So, apparently, Elon Musk spent the weekend coming for government workers, which has me side-eyeing my contractor status like, hmm… maybe it’s time to speed up this whole “full-time business owner” thing. 🤔 Because let’s be real—if he ever decides to turn his billionaire gaze toward contractors, I’d rather have a thriving business to fall back on than be out here applying for jobs on LinkedIn like, “Professional vinyl weeder & tumbler magician seeking new opportunities.”

All jokes aside, this is a reminder that having a strong backup plan isn’t just a good idea—it’s a necessity. Building a business that’s sustainable, profitable, and ready to scale means always thinking ahead. If you’re in the same boat, let’s talk—what’s your exit strategy?

Prepping for Surgery & Why Self-Care Matters

With my surgery coming up on Thursday, I’m feeling all the emotions—nervous, reflective, and mildly panicked because I just realized I won’t be able to do everything myself for a while. 😬 But that’s also the point, isn’t it? Business ownership and self-care go hand in hand.

Burnout is real, and if you don’t slow down, your business will make you. Whether it’s recovering from surgery or just recognizing that you’re running on fumes, taking care of yourself is taking care of your business. Here’s what I’m focusing on this week:

✔ Creating routines that help me balance work, rest, and recovery.
✔ Recognizing burnout before it hits full force and taking a step back when needed.
✔ Letting go of control and allowing my systems (and my amazing support system) to keep things running.

So, friendly reminder: Take the break, drink the water, and rest when you need to. Your business will thank you.

Marketing Matters: Keeping Things Moving

Since I’ll be forced to slow down for a bit, marketing is about to become my business’s best friend. Even when I can’t be hands-on with orders, I can still:

📢 Engage with my audience (because out of sight = out of mind).
📧 Send email updates to keep my customers in the loop.
📱 Schedule social media posts so my brand stays visible.

Marketing isn’t just about selling—it’s about staying top of mind so that when customers are ready to buy, they think of you first. If you’re not already subscribed to my newsletter, now’s the time! Sign up here to get insider deals, updates, and more.

Let’s Talk!

Presidential Creativity: Leaders Who Overcame the Obstacles

Happy President’s Day!  Ever wondered what some of our past presidents would be like if they had a creative business or a blog? Turns out, quite a few of them had artistic passions, learning challenges, and even traits that align with ADHD! JFK: The ADHD Icon Before It Had a Name John F. Kennedy was known for his high energy, quick thinking, and ability to hyperfocus —all classic ADHD traits. He thrived under pressure and had an incredible ability to switch gears quickly. If he were alive today, he’d probably be the guy impulsively buying 14 different types of resin molds at 2 AM because he just had to try them all. 😆 FDR: The Original Blogger? Franklin D. Roosevelt wasn’t just a president —he was also a writer. He penned articles, speeches, and letters that kept the country motivated during tough times. If blogging had been a thing in the 1930s, you know FDR would’ve had a daily motivational blog with deep reflections, leadership advice, and probably some witty sarcasm. LBJ ...

From Pandemic Hobby to Moodsips Customs: How I Turned a Random Craft into a Business

 You know how people say, "Find what you love and make money doing it"? Yeah, I didn’t plan on that happening. But here we are. Let me tell you how I accidentally turned my crafty quarantine boredom into Moodsips Customs, LLC. It all started during the pandemic when we were all stuck inside, losing track of time and binge-watching way too many shows. In a desperate attempt to keep my sanity, I decided to try resin art. No real reason—just something new to keep me from online shopping myself into debt. So, I made myself a rolling tray with an Aries logo on it (because, obviously, Aries energy is unmatched). It was just for me, something cool to have around the house. But then, I made the crucial mistake of posting it on Facebook. Next thing I knew, people were sliding into my DMs asking where they could get one. Friends, family, random internet strangers—everyone wanted a custom tray. And they were willing to pay. At first, I was just charging for supplies, but then I realize...
