Organize the Whole Shebang: NOW IS THE NEW LATER

Jayne's studio was so fun to work on. Who wouldn't love to be amongst beautiful fabrics, beads, trims and creative company! Jayne is the creative handbag designer behind www.designsbyjayne.com . She is also a wonderful mother + wife. Her story brings tears to my eyes and I'm proud to be a part of her life. (Look for her story in a future post) Jayne gave me a ring when she was ready to take her biz to the next level... take a look, I think she's got it going on! Take a look at the BEFORE + AFTER PHOTOS yourself...

Now is the New Later

Four years ago while working with a client, Lara Blair, [now one of my very favorite chicaritas] she came across a pile of items from a photography conference she had attended. She said that she "bundled them all together so that she could look at it later".

I smiled and replied.... "Now IS that later."

Within minutes Lara had determined what was still useful + what could go.

The thought of a project is often more overwhelming than the actual time it takes to knock it out. #knowthatfeeling?

We need to step back and declare

NOW is the New Later!

What you are finally DONE putting off?

LEAVE A COMMENT letting me know what your NOW is...
Then Pin this and declare you won't let all
that 'later' nonsense bog down your now!

Are You a SHE VIP!
