5 Ways to Change Your Mindset and Change Your Brand for the Better

May 27, 2019

We are almost 6 months into the year and I know I’m not alone when I say that life can be overwhelming sometimes. But I’m a firm believer that our thoughts and words are powerful. Here are 5 Ways to Change Your Mindset and Change Your Brand for the Better.

Get Out of Your Own Way

I think the biggest challenge we have as people is that we overthink situations or we think about the worst or the what ifs when we should really focus on the now and how far we’ve come and where we want to go. You have to get out of your own way. You think what you become. With that said, stay positive and coach yourself when you fall short or feel defeated and speak positively over your life it’s important because the way you feel about yourself transcends to your brand and content.

Put Yourself Out There and Network

You only get what you ask for. This is a huge and continuous learning lesson for me on the daily as I reach out to brands and pitch ideas and vice versa. There will be times when you don’t get responses or that you arent as busy as your once were but you have to put yourself out there attend events, promote your skills brand or expertise. Not everything is going to fall in your lap you have to create the opportunities you want.

Ask for Help

Its okay to ask for help. If you’ve been struggling with something whether it be a technical skill for your business or blog and you have friends or know someone with that expertise reach out. I usually do this once Ive exhausted all my resources ie google, youtube fiverr. Its nothing wrong with asking others for advice or insight. I have made it my duty to try and help others when i can if I have the answer. But only if I can tell or know the person has tried themselves. Help me help you. Curate a tribe of friends or associates who are open to sharing info and helping each other succeed I promise its a must. Ive found myself in many IG chats bouncing off ideas and asking for advise. You are not alone in this!

Keep Learning & Evolving

Reading and learning didnt or shouldn’t have stopped when you graduated from school. As a people and entrepreneurs we should be continuously learning on a daily basis. New skills, new knowledge or mew ways of thinking. This includes learning a new skill via youtube or some type of learning platform. Listening to self help podcasts or podcasts that are related to your industry or field of work. Reading self help books so that you can keep your mind sharp. All important to evolving and learning more about yourself and what you want out of this life… super important!

Write down your goals and keep them close.

I think its great to write down your goals short and long term goals. I have an acrylic vision board at home thAt has all of my goals for the year but i also have a pad that has all my goals for the week, month and year that I keep with me in my planner/purse and I can look at it daily. Its something about seeing it real time and holding yourself accountable. You know exactly what discipline it takes to get your goals accomplished but If anyone knows I know that life can be overwhelming at times and we let our thoughts get the best of us. All in all we have to keep pushing and keep our eye on the PRIZE!

What are ways you have changed your mindset in order to level up your brand?

Starting Accutane... again. ✨
Back in 2016, before I moved to LA, I completed my first round of Accutane and saw incredible results. Fast forward to today, and my skin has been going through it. What started as hormonal breakouts gradually turned into painful cystic acne, and after trying to manage it on my own, I decided it was time to seek professional help.
I’ve officially started a second Accutane journey with @honeydew.care and I’ll be sharing the process along the way. My goal is to be transparent about what this experience looks like as an adult navigating acne, confidence, skincare, and everything in between.
This journey won’t be perfect, but neither is skin and that’s okay.
If you’ve done Accutane before, I’d love to hear your experience and any tips you have for managing dryness, side effects, and the overall process. 💚

SPANX has officially entered the group chat. 👏🏾✨
I picked up a few pieces and had to do a try-on because the fit is fittingggg.
From the cobalt blue beach set that’s giving luxury vacation energy to the black skort and zip jacket combo that will absolutely be joining me on morning walks, errands, and airport runs... every piece understood the assignment.
The sports bra? Supportive.
The skort? Flattering.
The beach set? Already packed in my mind. 💙

Which look are you choosing: Team Vacation or Team Athleisure? 👀

Doing It For The Plot ✨💅🏾
Some people go sightseeing... we go nail supply shopping.
Me and Genevive took a little road trip to Long Beach to check out Alicia’s Beauty Supply and find some inspiration for future nail sets. Between the jewels, charms, stones, stickers, and endless polish options, let’s just say my saved nail inspo folder is about to get some competition.
As two girls who believe our nails are part of the outfit, this was the perfect little creative adventure.
Would you make a road trip for nail supplies? 👀💎
