Last December, I chose a “word for the year” with a great deal of self-consciousness and embarrassment. Because openly caring, plainly trying, and eagerly naming what I want used to feel shameful. But this December, I found myself leaning over to my...
I used to experience panic attacks about once a week. (This was what initially led me to therapy last year.) And there is nothing like a panic attack to make you realize how powerful your words are. For example, you might say to yourself,...
One of my clients recently wrote this in response to a question on my questionnaire: How did he “quickly and intuitively” know that I was the right copywriter for him? It’s not magic. It’s not by accident that he felt that way. I strategically wrote my website copy...
“My business is too small to prioritize diversity.” “My platform is too new for me to speak up about racism in our country.” “I’m not important enough to build anti-racism into my business.” “Who am I to say something?”...
Year after year, I realize that more and more of the problems I’ve faced in business in the past–stress, sluggish sales, overwhelm–were symptoms of something deeper: A mindset that’s all wrong. Occasionally, the problems I’ve faced were caused by a...

Sure there was a ton of free content on the internet about how to build an online business, but I was running myself into the ground with my freelance work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I didn't have time to fool around the internet trying out a bunch of vague advice.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then I was invited to an event called PLAY BIG! with @csecoaching
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- And I'm not saying this lightly -
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This event changed everything.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about money.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about showing up for my clients.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about business models.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about marketing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⚡️ How I thought about sales.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It felt like the online business puzzle was snapping together in my brain. I just got it, finally.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

P.S. I want to acknowledge that I was well-positioned to grow during a pandemic that shut down in-person stuff, since my business is completely online and many of my clients also run online businesses.](https://www.kristawalshcopywriter.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
