Both and are celebrating birthdays today, and it's clear that knows Laura SO well. She sent some Disneyland gear to wear to celebrate the day. 🥰🎉🙌

One of the bonuses of working from home is being able to start the day with good brain food like 's delicious breakfast. We're just as guilty as the next about getting in the "zone" while working from home and forgetting to stop, stretch, eat, and recharge, but at least we start the day off right! 😍😅

"Comprehensive." That's one of our favorite words to read in a review of our Expert's Guide to Company Naming. Why? Because our driving goal when creating our workbook was to give you all the knowledge and tools you need to name your next business, your next blog, your next bestseller, your next award winning product. We know it's the industry standard to hoard secrets like dragon treasure...Buuuut we don't roll like that. We WANT you to be empowered to take charge of your branding vision by creating a name that tells the story you're passionate about. Period. Ready to take the reins?

This lady right here? She has an amazing book releasing TOMORROW, and we're so excited for her that we could POP! Ash Ambirge of .middle.finger.project has been a phenomenal client and friend, and we've learned so much from her over the years (So much, in fact, that we legit sent her a fan girl email once upon a time. We may or may not have included excessive emojis.) If you're looking for a TOO LEGIT business owner who has been both in the trenches and at the top and can make you positively p*e with laughter, Ash is that person. She's unapologetically authentic and a truly wonderful human bean. If you haven't started your First Book of 2020, let The Middle Finger Project be it.

shop.fuzebranding.com Let’s face it. Naming your business or product? It’s harder than naming your firstborn child. Nobody’s coming after Junior for trademark infringement.

Sending all our Christmas Eve love from our fam to yours! May your Christmas Day be stuffed with ooey gooey cinnamon rolls, piles of wrapping paper to play in, and fun memories made with your favorite people. 📸:

Post frequency. It’s better to start out slow and consistent than over-ambitious and fading out. From a reader’s perspective it’ll seem like your blog is dead in the water before it even gets off the ground.

When creating your website, you’ll want to limit varying fonts even more than you limit your colors. Too many font changes can be distracting; everything needs to tie back to your brand.

Keep it simple by making a general rule that the people in your photos are the right age, live in the same world as your customer, and look natural.

While it can be tempting to write about or post things that are simply interesting to you, you’re writing as your business, not as yourself. Your readers are there for content related to whatever it is your business does—make sure you deliver in your blog!

Do you want receivers to check out your website? Add in your hyperlink. Consider the end-user and what information you want them to have right at hand.

Like all good design, a well-designed email signature looks simple and easy, but that’s because good signatures take advantage of basic design do’s and don’ts.

It’s all about making an intentional choice on how you’re going to communicate with your audience. Authenticity is always a winner.

Don’t forget to seek out opportunities to learn. Whether you want a refresher in the most current SEO Best Practices or to learn a new skill altogether, investing in yourself and your continued education as a business owner is vital to your success and adaptability.

If a goal is too broad or unfocused, it’s not going to be actionable, and actionable is the key to creating results.

When it comes to business, numbers have the power to be incredibly motivating. Whether it’s determining exactly how many clients you need to work with this year or how many products you need to sell to upgrade your business systems, the math can really make goals more attainable.

Your blog is a place on your site where your audience can interact with your business through comment sections etc, & sometimes they need a little boost—nudge them in the right direction by asking questions, asking for opinions, or just asking what your audience is interested in.

It’s 2019. We’re not tied to our desktops to work anymore, but we also want our clients to feel like they’re getting consistent, quality communication from us no matter where we are working from. Using “Sent from an iPhone” as your email signature just doesn’t cut it!

Getting fresh eyes always helps—consider wrangling a few friends or family members to help you brainstorm.

As you do business under a brand name, you create equity in the form of customer loyalty and trust”

This world is so busy, and at least once, twice, three times each week(or more, let's be honest), we feel like we are being pulled in 20 different directions, and that can be hard! Read what Abbie has to say on the topic!

As an artist, I feel like about a million people give me ideas and advice every day. Most of it isn’t bad advice and is really well meant - I bet if I made a children’s book it would do really well, I bet if I pursued licensing it would work, I bet if I did tradeshows that would be awesome.

But here’s the thing! I can’t do everything all at once. Maybe I’ll be able to do all that in my lifetime. My business is doing great and I don’t need to focus on what I’m not doing, I’m going to celebrate what IS working and just keep doing it.

Don’t let others’ well meant advice derail you. If something is working for you KEEP ON TRUCKING
