Truth be told, being pregnant is hard. There I said it. I am not going to say it again and it only needs to be said once. You can always read about what I’ve learned about pregnancy in this post.

I am so excited to continue with the new blog series for the Rachel Allene blog! This past year, I have learned so much about growing a business, building a brand, increasing online sales, growing a mailing list, etc. through the influence and expertise of other highly creative and talented women. They have encouraged me, inspired me, and taught me to be fearless in my pursuits. They run their businesses with intention, purpose, and with a heart to give back. I am excited to start sharing some interviews with these women. They will offer insight, real talk, and actionable steps for growing a successful and profitable business (while making a difference!)

I remember when hashtags weren’t even a thing. I mean, what does a pound sign have to do with social media? It was pretty confusing at first. At least for me it was. Am I the only one?

I wish I had taken advantage of educational opportunities earlier in my business. There is so much value and worth in learning from others who have gone before you. I went to my first conference in 2016 and since then, my business has never looked the same. I've been able to crush goals, take risks, and make connections that never would have happened without the influence and experience that comes from a conference.

When I started my business, my business mentors were countless blog posts and free resources. I wasn’t making much money and I just didn’t have the resources to pay for a mentor. I knew it would be a dream come true to have that type of coaching at my disposal, but it wasn’t possible.

This year I have been working on streamlining my business and finding ways to do more with less time. There are multiple applications that have helped me with this, but that’s another blog post for another day.

I love routine and I love knowing what to expect. As you can imagine, pregnancy has made this more of a challenge and I’ve had to learn how to be more flexible with my time, schedule, and routine. But, that’s not what we are here to talk about today! :)

I can't tell you how many emails and messages I receive asking about how to grow an Instagram account. I can't tell you how many people tell me they want to stand out and hate the endless scrolling and liking and "follow for follow." I've heard it all. Have you felt this way?

When I first opened my product shop I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea how to get started with shipping, where to buy shipping materials, how to set up my shop, how to write the listings, etc. etc. I felt lost in a sea of kick booty Etsy shop owners destined to drown. That’s why I didn’t touch my Etsy shop for about a year after I created it.

I think so too

I still wonder how I survived the holiday hustle and the first trimester of my pregnancy. I'd like to say I survived, but I am not sure I thrived during that time. Which, the pre-pregnancy part of my mind wants to beat myself up for that truth, but I am realizing the need and reality of grace even more these days. I must admit, I never realized how hard pregnancy could be. I knew it had the potential of making me sick, but I was not prepared for the exhaustion and my lessened capabilities.

Passive income is one the best income streams there is for the creative entrepreneur. Earning multiple times from a one time creation while making a difference is euphoric. When I started my business, my income goals were to earn 80% passive income through various digital and physical products. Once I learned how to earn on autopilot from one-time creations, I began to teach other creatives and online business owners how to earn online as well.

Happy New Year, my people! I am hoping you saw my big announcement on Instagram a few days ago! If you didn't, you can click on over there or just read below! This past year was full of so much growth, joy, and unexpected surprises, in addition to its hardships and heartaches.

It's been a wild ride.
