Ahhh consistency, the thing that everyone wants and no one seems to have ;) Except, I think we do. I think we are more consistent than we give ourselves credit for. Let’s be kinder and more gentle with ourselves when it comes to accomplishing the goals we set for our lives. Let’s look at consistency in a wider context. Instead of asking, “How consistent have I been this week?” Try asking, “How consistent have I been this year?” Give ourselves grace when we fall short and s support one another wh...

There are four important habits you MUST develop if you want to build a successful personal brand and gain traction on social media.

The catch is… you have to be self-aware enough to know which parts of yourself are weaker and underdeveloped. We all have blind spots. The most important thing you can do is be aware of them and make...

To write well is one of the greatest challenges people face while building their personal brand. Everything you do for your personal brand involves the practice of writing; i.e, creating Instagram captions, voice over scripts, blog posts, emails, and most importantly, the copy on your personal website. If I had a nickel for every time I heard, “But Anna, I’m just not a good writer, can I hire someone to do it for me?” I would be a very wealthy woman and I still wouldn’t hire anyone to do it for ...
