Will you shout out YOUR favorite women-owned small businesses in the comments?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been such a hard year on ALL small businesses and I’d love it if we could take a minute to support one another!! 💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #womenwhohustle #womenwhowork #womenowned #womenentrepreneurship #womenentrepreneur #womenwhodo #fempreneurs #solopreneur #solopreneurs #femaleentrepreneurlifestyle #ladypreneur #womeneur #buildyourbusiness #sayyestosuccess #designalifeyoulove #buildalifeyoulove #savvybusinessowner #savvybusinessowners #savvybusinesswomen #herbusiness #hustlewithease #girlbossing #dreamersanddoers #staybossyladies #girlbosstribe #femaleentrepreneurlife #bossbabesociete #girlbosshustle #theimperfectboss #thisgirlmeansbusiness
All the years I was using Trello, I thought everyt All the years I was using Trello, I thought everything was fine, just fine. My business was organized. I knew what my goals were and what I had to work on each day. I could manage and keep track of all the moving (and non-moving) parts of my business as a one-woman show. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ LITTLE DID I KNOW THERE WAS A BETTER WAY 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having everything in Asana for the last several months, I know without a shadow of a doubt that switching from Trello to Asana was a GAME-CHANGER for me!! But I couldn't have done it without @louisehenry's Uplevel with Asana course!! 🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's unlike any other course I've ever taken (and I've taken quite a few)!! Her video lessons are so bite-size, binge-able, and actionable, you can literally have the course complete and your entire life and biz set up in Asana in a week!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (That’s how long it took me and I spent extra time converting and making better my own systems that I’d spent years creating in Trello!! 🤓) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ The doors to Uplevel with Asana are officially open until next Friday at 11:59pm EST!! ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PLUS (this is really exciting!! 🎉🎉) when you purchase Uplevel with Asana through my affiliate link you’ll get my Asana Template Collection for FREE when it launches later this year!! (You just have to send me a screenshot of your receipt with your order number and date of purchase clearly visible!!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t even know all of what will be included in this collection yet because I’m still developing it, but so far you’ll get my #AllThingsBusiness, #AllThingsPersonal, Content Ideas/Content Planning, Marketing Map, Product Pipeline, Client Keeper, and Digital Product Developer templates. And probably more!! 🙃🤗🥰 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Head to the link in my profile to UPLEVEL your life and biz with Asana (and @louisehenry and me) today!! 💁🏼‍♀️
ONE THING YOU’LL NEVER SEE ME CREATE... 🤔 ⠀ ONE THING YOU’LL NEVER SEE ME CREATE... 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A planning or planner printable!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve been asked multiple times over email and DM if I have one and the answer is nope!! 🙅🏼‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because I can’t live without my daily @simplified planner!! And I’m not going to recreate the wheel or fix what ain’t broke!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The #simplifiedplanner works for me (and will probably work for you, too) because it was made minimally on purpose for every girl in every season to keep whatever she has going on in her life simplified and organized!! 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can plan your workouts, your meals, and your day. You can keep track of your baby’s feeding schedule and your kiddo’s virtual learning schedule. You can write down your personal tasks and business or work tasks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is nothing you can’t plan or keep track of in the Simplified Planner!! You can even head to emilyley.com and print daily and weekly planner pages to give them a try before you buy!! 🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And before you ask, yes, I use my @simplified planner religiously WITH Asana AND my digital calendar!! I’m what you call a digital and paper hybrid planner 🙃 and I’m proud of it, babe!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now tell me: what planner or planning tools do you use?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 by @jamiebannon
