Build Your Brand Foundations
I created a free brand foundations guide
to help you gain brand clarity, get clear on
your brand voice and values, and define
your target audience before ever asking
for “just a logo” or pretty visuals.

No.9
Ultimate Bundles
Ultimate Bundles is a company that puts together exclusive collections of digital products at a discounted rate, such as digital products, ebooks, and printables.
Squarespace
Something you should use?
I have used almost every platform from Wordpress to Wix to Bluehost too. Showit is
a very popular one in the market but I still prefer Squarespace.
The question has always been — which is better? The answer is that it all depends on
your unique needs and what you want to get out of a web hosting platform — whether
you're an avid blogger, or an e-commerce retailer, or a service provider.

CONTRACTS, TRADEMARKS, AND COPYRIGHTS
My old contract didn’t cover all the main things I needed for my business.
I was able to implement everything needed to run my business including
the necessary “Privacy Policy”.
I finally invested in a thorough and high-quality contract, I recommend this from the
time you start your business and for all service-based and product-based business
owners. If you are serious about your business, get yourself a quality contract.
