for years, I hesitated to share my wins. not anymore. inc. just named me to the 2025 female founders 500. we’re told success should speak for itself. that humility means staying quiet. they’re wrong. the difference? ? celebrating success isn’t about ego—it’s about honoring the people who made it possible. think about it: ? every milestone is a team effort ? no one builds alone ? when we own our wins, we inspire others to go for theirs bottom line: this recognition isn’t just mine. it belongs to my team, my support system, and every client and partner who’s been part of the journey. remember: success isn’t a solo act. share your wins, lift others up, and keep breaking barriers. #femalefounders500 #leadership #culture #entrepreneurship #growth

you’re not avoiding failure by asking “how do i start?” you’re guaranteeing it. you can’t improve something that doesn’t exist. the biggest trap isn’t lack of knowledge—it’s lack of action. your brain isn’t preparing you—it’s protecting you. every time you seek more information, you’re actually avoiding potential criticism and loss. the difference? starting is what teaches you. you learn by doing, not by planning. 3 reminders about imperfect beginnings: - instagram started as a check-in app - youtube was originally a dating site - airbnb’s founders sold cereal just to survive when I launched zen media, our first website was terrible. that messy start led to our first client—one we never would have won by waiting for “ready.” bottom line: progress beats perfection. every time. think about it: what would happen if you launched the imperfect version today instead of researching for another month? remember: you don’t need more information to start. you need to start to get better information.

Transformation doesn't happen from the sidelines—it happens when you're immersed in the conversation. ??

Design isn’t just aesthetics - it’s business impact. ?? Just look at Super Bowl LIX’s controversial scorebug debacle: A cluttered, low-contrast design with millions squinting at their screens to catch the score between the Eagles and Chiefs. When your viewers need to pause and decipher information, you’ve failed at design fundamentals. This multi-billion dollar broadcast reminded us that poor design choices directly impact user experience and brand perception. Here are some takeaways for you: -Clear hierarchy matters - essential information should be instantly readable -Contrast and legibility > trendy aesthetics -A/B testing is crucial, even for “simple” designs Remember: Every confused customer is a potential lost sale. Every frustrated user is a brand advocate lost. Your design isn’t just how it looks - it’s how it works. #SuperBowl #GraphicDesign #Marketing #Business #B2bMarketing #SBLIX
