Thank you to America's Big Deal for sponsoring this conversation.

Looking for tips for small business owners? These gems from legend Joy Mangano are must reads!

This is the era of small businesses, shopping local, and supporting your neighbor.  We are all looking for entrepreneurs to support and products to discover and……Joy Mangano has an amazing solution.  You know Joy, right? You may have watched the movie that released a few years ago starring Jennifer Lawrence as the legendary inventor and entrepreneur.  Joy is the inventor of the Miracle Mop, a QVC legend, and the developer of a TON of the products we all use daily.  She's a mentor, a supporter, and……she wanted to do something BIG to support small business owners.

Enter her newest venture……America's Big Deal. America's Big Deal is a unique live competition series showcases small business owners from all over the country selling their products in REAL time.  And the best part? The top seller each week? Wins the opportunity to create a partnership with QVC, HSN, Lowe's and Macy's.    LIFE CHANGING!

Tips for Small Business Owners from Joy Mangano

I had the change to sit down for a virtual roundtable with Joy and to hear some of her tips for small business owners. And these? Felt like the most important takeaways from our conversation.

Looking for tips for small business owners? These gems from legend Joy Mangano are must reads!

  1. “Whatever you love to do, do it.” Joy talked about how she found her PASSION to create products that made life easier for us all.  That as she tried different careers, that she loved creating things to help us all.  She also reminded us all that, the truth is…..it's going to be a LOT of work.  So do what you love, and your passion will keep you motivated!
  2. Have a Strong Work Ethic. Nothing replaces old fashioned hard work.  Joy talked about the importance of realizing you can't do it all.  That you need to focus on working hard on the priorities in your life and your business.
  3. You need a great pitch AND a great product. It's not one or the other.  A great product is a necessity, but so is being able to reach customers and to SELL the product.  Joy created the Miracle Mop and spent YEARS honing her pitch at fairs, retailers, and in board rooms before she hit it big on QVC.

Don't forget to tune in to this season's finale of America's Big Deal on December 16th at 9pm ET/8pm PT on USA Network!

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans 🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans with your kids.⠀

Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀

💕It’s so important to remind ourselves and the kids in our lives that we have a right to protect our self-image and self-esteem when scrolling social media.  I’m proud to join my friends at Dove to participate in the #DetoxYourFeed challenge.⠀

Tips to shift your feed to being a positive place: unfollow or mute when you find something is causing stress on insecurity……this is an act of self love and one that is oh so important!⠀
