Sis, I’m about to introduce you to the MAGICAL WORLD OF CREDIT CARD POINTS.

When it comes to running your business, there is NOTHING more important than having vision.
And that means knowing WHAT YOU WANT and going after it.Â
Now of course when I talk about what you want you immediately think of NEEDING MORE. You may be saying, “Janelle, I want more customers and more revenue.”Â
But “MORE” is just a word until you put a NUMBER to it. And it means something different for everyone. So, when you’re asking the universe for “more”, you need to be specific about the results that you wanna see, and then find ways to make those goals come to life.Â
One of the things we go into inside my Bake Your Way To Six Figures workshop is how important it is to be clear about your EXPECTATIONS. And putting an attainable NUMBER to my goals has given me the control and INTENTIONALITY that I needed to crush them, and become the BOSS of my business, not just an employee of it.Â
Here are 3 more tips from the workshop that will help YOU do the same:

One of my biggest PET PEEVE is when people ask me:Â
“How much do YOU think I should charge for my cakes?”
Because here’s the thing sis, HOW am I (or ANYONE) supposed to know how much YOU should be charging for YOUR cakes?
You’re the ONLY one who knows the cost of your ingredients, how much you wanna PAY yourself, the time it takes you to make a cake, and the $$$ going out of your bank account to buy equipment, cover costs, and keep your business going.Â
So WHY are you giving someone else the power to decide your pricing for you?
If you really wanna start making the MONEY you deserve, you need to be CLEAR on your EXPENSES and CREATE prices that DOUBLE your investment.Â
Otherwise, you’re headed to Brokesville and your business will fail before it can even begin.Â
Here’s what you need to do to start making the money you DESERVE:Â
1 - Sometimes, you NEED to pay MORE upfront

I want to be CELEBRATED in the same way that I celebrate everyone else.

We're willing to do almost anything to maximize our productivity, perform at our best, and crush our career goals. But in the pursuit of getting ahead, we lose sight of what matters most. We're constantly trying to make it to the next big thing, and sometimes we miss out on the very things that could have made us happier and fulfilled. All work and no play will not only lead to burn-out, but it will also lead to a life that's out of balance. Sometimes the very thing you need is LESS! While It might seem counterproductive, taking on fewer orders and giving up perfectionism is actually key to healthy work-life balance.

If you’re looking to find or maintain more balance, look no further. Check out these 7 tips to help you find more work-life balance.
