I get this question quite a lot, so here’s the answer 😉

I know it’s easier said than done, but it is definitely possible to take time off when you work as a #freelancer. I’ve found that by informing my clients in advance and just keeping an eye on my emails, it’s definitely possible to enjoy a relaxing holiday. What usually holds me back is myself, because I worry unnecessarily. So trust me when I say: book the holiday, take time off, we all need something to look forward to 😍☀️

This is what makes all the hustle worth it in the end 😉

Just some thoughts about what it means to be a wom

Just some thoughts about what it means to be a woman in business and some of the things I am grateful to be without now that I have my own freelance business 🙅🏻‍♀️

I am preaching to the choir, but these are small things that men do not face in the workplace. From not having to worry that I am dressing too “provocative” or “looking too lazy” or wearing too much/little makeup. Or the fact that I don’t have to endure male coworkers making me and my female colleagues uncomfortable with their comments. Most women experience this!! Isn’t that insane?!

The biggest change though is feeling in control of my future. I know what I need to do to scale, earn more money, and ensure the well-being of my business. I am not leaving my future in the hands of someone else and that feels so empowering 💪

If you have been thinking about starting a business, do it! Trying and failing is so much better than always wondering “what if”. Shoot me a message if you want encouragement 👯‍♀️🙌

How do you stay on top of your goals throughout the year? I’m still learning, but these are the tools that work for me:

- a physical planner for breaking monthly goals into smaller weekly steps 📕
- @asana for ensuring that me and my team stay on top of quarterly goals for my business. - @notionhq for keeping track of personal progress including the books I’ve read, my journaling thoughts, and ideas that I haven’t been able to outline yet.

How do you manage your goals? 😍👇

Ever wonder why it's so hard to accomplish your goals? 🤔

My theory is, that it's easy to dream big, but when it comes to acting, a lot of us fail. But WHY? Because we get overwhelmed, lose track of our "why," and then motivation tends to falter somewhere along the way as well.

In my free goal-setting mini-course, I teach you how to actually accomplish those big goals, instead of just dreaming about them. I'll help you break down your smaller goals into actionable steps you can work on throughout the year. You can access the free workshop through the link in bio.

Have you set goals for 2023? And already lost a little bit of motivation? Let's change that! 😍

Anybody else feel super guilty about time off from work? 🙋‍♀️

I think this is quite common for freelancers to feel this way. Our clients need us right? Well, yes and no. I’ve found that my clients are super understanding about taking time off, especially around regional holidays when they are off too. So there’s really no reason to feel guilty when taking time off is normal and needed 🙈

One of my main goals for 2023 is prioritizing and remembering to take time off, to travel, see friends and family, etc. Because what is the point of working hard and building your own business if you cannot enjoy life? 🤔

What are your goals for 2023? ✨

These are my big business goals for the new year. The biggest one will be taking on a partner and scaling my business from a Einzelunternehmer (sole proprietor) to an Unfernehmensgesellschaft (UG). This will allow me/us to build out a team and establish better processes, so that I will be less stressed 🙈

I also want to have more time for BizBabes and hosting events, new projects, etc. i have so many things in the pipeline that I’m excited to share 😍

As I mentioned in a previous post, I was not good at balancing my work and life in 2022 so I need to make this a business goal as well. Looking forward to it 😍
