Selling has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. 🍭 From candy bars and shaved ice stands to door-to-door sales in junior high, the mindset was always the same—if you need something, go out and sell it. That early experience shaped how I approach sales today, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 💪 #SalesSkills #EntrepreneurLife #SalesMindset #SalesJourney #SalesSuccess

Using PR to scale your business 📈📢  Before Dirty Dough, I never really paid much attention to PR because I didn’t fully understand its value. Fast forward two years, and it’s been the single biggest factor in driving brand awareness and generating franchise leads, helping grow our franchise network and increase foot traffic for our franchisees! If you’re looking for a cost-friendly, no-contract PR firm, definitely check out Zach Weiner and Emerging Insider. They’ve secured features for us in major outlets like Forbes, CNBC, and Business Insider, while consistently keeping the local press buzzing every week. Curious—who else is actively using PR to grow their business? What strategies have worked or haven’t worked for you on the PR side?

A lot of our struggles—whether it's anxiety, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck—can be traced back to self-worth. We often focus on everything else, while the real issue remains overlooked. 💭 #SelfWorth #MentalHealthMatters #PersonalGrowth #SelfCompassion #InnerWork

I used to think that making half a million dollars would solve all my problems, but it only brought happiness for a day or two. Eventually, I went back to my normal levels of contentment, and that’s when I realized: chasing money doesn’t fix everything. Fear of not having enough or losing what you gain is a constant cycle. It's a reminder to focus on finding true peace and abundance within, rather than waiting for external achievements to do it for you. #AbundanceMindset #FinancialFreedom #ChasingHappiness #EntrepreneurLife #BreakTheCycle #GrowthMindset

I used to think I was the exception to the rule—thinking I could get around the advice others gave me because I was more creative or special. Turns out, I wasn’t. 😅 After falling back a few times, I realized sometimes you just need to trust the process and learn from others. Finding the balance between learning on your own and taking advice is key... but often, the pain of not listening has to hit first. #TrustTheProcess #LearnFromExperience #EntrepreneurJourney #BusinessLessons #GrowthMindset
