Even when every inch of your body is trembling…

And even when that inner voice is saying you will fail…

And even when it feels so scary that your feet are cemented beneath you…

And even at the risk of rejection…

And even when it takes more faith than you have…

And even when the fear of failure is so gripping that you can’t move forward…

And even when there’s someone who is better at it than you…

If it’s your dream…

Don’t 👏 Stop 👏

Keep 👏 Moving 👏 Forward 👏

You got this. 👊

I say this with love, grace, compassion, and empathy. It’s something I struggle with every day.

But had I let that fear stop me, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Whenever self-doubt comes over me (and it does every day), I think back to everything I’ve accomplished and remind myself it was always scary in the beginning, yet I pushed through the fear.

And little by little, as I kept at it, the fear would start to fade away and more often than not, I would actually accomplish the thing I was so scared I would fail at. And that “thing” would go on to help thousands of other people add value to their lives and businesses.

So friend, I hope today, this week, this month, this year, you continue to chase your wildest dreams, even in the face of fear.

Save this post for a day you need to hear this message. 🙏🏻

👋 Bu-bye 2021 (don’t let the door🚪 hit ya on the way out) and holy-hell-OH! Grab the rails cuz we’re lighting it up 2022! ✨🙌🥳

Ok. Let’s get real. Like real real.

2021 was just wow. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to share our client wins with everyone. And it’s killing me!

Here’s the Cliff Notes:

The good:

We helped our clients generate over 8-figures 😮 in 2021 through an omni-channel approach to marketing (mostly Facebook ads, email marketing, SEO, and Google Ads).

Every single client hit new record sales in 2021. Every. Single. One. 👏

Our growth in the email marketing space as a Klaviyo Gold Master Partner has been the part of the business that has brought me the most joy.

Even through the Apple iOS apocalypse (RIP pre-2021 Facebook ads ROAS), we’re finding innovative ways to continue to grow our clients’ businesses online.

Now the bad:

We expanded our team to 12, but I still was dealing with incredible overwhelm. It’s no reflection on my team, who I have gratitude for every day. It’s taught me that I need to take more time onboarding.

The labor shortage is REAL. We STILL can’t fill about 4 positions that we’ve tried to fill for over a year now. Who knew finding experts in this niche would be so hard?

Personally, I suffered loss, depression, & a bunch of things more appropriate for my therapist 😂 which made it really hard to run a business efficiently.

But I have been doing a bunch of self-development work & am FINALLY seeing a light 💡 at the end of the tunnel.

Today is honesty the first day in MONTHS where I feel excited about the future and what 2022 has in store for me.

Tip: I’ve committed to using my planner daily this month which really helps me manage my time and tasks, leading to less overwhelm.

I’m also writing an intention, affirmation, and one thing I appreciate about myself daily, which has been helpful as well.

What are you looking forward to this year? Tell me below so I can cheer you on! 👏🙌

Life can challenge us in the most uncomfortable ways. ⬇️

And we have a choice.

We either choose to believe that life happens TO us or we can choose that life happens FOR us.

If I could even begin to articulate how challenging life has been these past few months (years even), I would. But there simply are no words with enough depth to explain.

Outwardly, the business is doing amazing.

Our clients are killing it. Our team continues to grow. We’ve hit some insane revenue goals. I couldn’t be more proud of the agency. 🙏🏻

Of course there’s always room for improvement, but I truly believe we’re in the company of some of the top marketing agencies out there.

But inwardly, there’s been a lot of pain, loneliness, hopelessness, & exhaustion.

You would think:

How could a girl who seemingly has it all possibly be complaining about anything?

Yes, I agree.

It feels selfish & shameful to even talk about, and although I wake up every day with gratitude in my heart, & absolutely love my job, clients, & children, it doesn’t mean I don’t face challenges that feel too heavy to carry at times.

So I thought if sharing what has served me well helps even one person reading this, I can transform my pain into someone else’s healing. ❤️

What’s helped me tremendously over the years has been deep diving into mindset, the law of attraction, and spirituality.

I trust the Universe has a plan for me and even if it’s not the path I envisioned for myself, it’s always protecting me. ✨

It hears whispers I don’t. It sees things I can’t…

I accept that everything happening in my life has been placed there by the Universe FOR my abundance, growth, & ultimate happiness.

That alone shifts my energy & helps me accept what is & attract what I want.

So if you’re going through something, please know you’re not alone. The most beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies. 🌅

Do something for yourself today. I’m going on a run. What are you doing?

True story…I got my first two clients from YouTube. ⬇️

I would post “how to advertise on Facebook” training videos to my YouTube channel and people would actually watch. 😂

And complete strangers would reach out and want to work with me. It was mind blowing…

Fast-forward 4 years or so and now I’m running a high-volume full-service digital marketing agency where we’re generating millions for our clients. 🤑

And it all started from stepping into fear and posting some videos on what I was passionate about…

So I can’t even begin to tell you how *thrilled* (seriously blushing in the background ☺️) I am to be returning again for another @ladiesartisanmarket conference to teach about getting visible on video to grow your business.

Look. I get it. Video can be intimidating, a time suck, and “not your thing”.

But by the time I’m done teaching, you’ll have all the tools (and confidence) you need to boost your business with video! 📹💁🏻‍♀️

And this conference?! Like whoa! The planning has been 💣🔥✨.

They have so many cool things planned to make it experiential, like entertainment, coffee breaks, breakouts and so much more.

And the ticket price?! Ridic!!! 😱 It’s like choosing between taking yourself out to lunch or having an ENTIRE DAY of mind blowing growth, education, and connection for not only your business, but your soul. ❤️

Today’s the last day to register, so if you’re a bad-a$$ boss babe looking to network, grow, and connect with other fempreneur powerhouses, go to @ladiesartisanmarket and click the link in their bio to grab your ticket.

Hoping I get to see some of you tomorrow! 🙌🥰

“Never give up on something you can’t go a day without thinking about.” - Winston Churchill

Whether it’s in business, life, love, whatever…

Don’t let obstacles, challenges, rejection, or failure stop you from getting what you truly desire.

Because you deserve it all.

So many of us settle for mediocrity in our lives because, well, if we don’t take risks, we don’t have to face failure, judgement, or rejection.

Meanwhile our hearts are bursting for so much more. And life is just passing us by…

But “more” can feel scary. It can feel undeserving, unrealistic, and uncomfortable.

So instead of experiencing the discomfort that is required for us to grow and energetically match what we want in order to achieve it, we choose to give up and stay small.

I’m here today to tell you as long as you’re open to creating opportunity from failure, and as long as you choose to keep going despite the obstacles that come between you and your deepest desires, you can have it all, even if the path doesn’t look the way you thought it would. ❤️

Cheers to never giving up on our dreams.

Who needed to hear this message today? I know I did. 🙋🏻‍♀️

If this post was helpful, make sure to save it so you can look back at it next time life throws you a curveball.

Xo,

Toccara

🤔 How did mega brands like Uber, AirBNB, Netflix, Fabletics, and more get as big as they did?

They created a unique solution for millions of people in a niche market that was underserved. 💡

And that’s exactly what Ashley Johnson, founder of @mohalaeyewear is doing.

Her brand is one of the first brands in all of Hawaii to offer a “Try Before You Buy” solution to what can otherwise be a very expensive online ordering experience. 😎

Beyond that, she serves a very specific market of women who find it difficult to find sunglasses that don’t slide down their face, hit their lashes, and more, by designing sunglasses based on a woman’s face shape and nose bridge, thus solving this problem for them. 👩🏼👩🏻👩🏽👩🏾👩🏿

Genius! 🧠

📲 Click the link in my bio to learn how this female powerhouse built a global sunglasses brand in a very niche market and what advice she has for other eCommerce business owners who are also working hard to build a successful brand themselves.

You’re a smart business owner who knows social media down right can lead to:

✔️ more customers
✔️ more engagement
✔️ and more sales

But you’re not sure how to actually do it.

You’ve tried Facebook ads in the past, but they never really worked.

Well I’m going to let you in on a little secret that most business owners don’t know:

Running Facebook ads is like flying a 747 jet.

Yep, you heard right.

If you don't have years of experience doing it, then of course everything will come crashing down.

It's not that Facebook ads don't work, it's that the marketing strategy you’re using isn't working...

Recently I had the pleasure of sitting down with The Ecommerce Marketing Podcast hosted by @arlenyohance to talk about social media marketing hacks for eCommerce.

We discussed:

✔️ Why ads are not working for your business.

✔️ Why ads may not be a good fit for every Ecommerce business.

✔️ The secret to writing click-worthy ad copy.

✔️ Why starting a Facebook group is a great strategy to build a community around your brand.

✔️ ...and so much more!

You don't want to miss these winning strategies and tips!

If you’re an eCommerce business owner, you’ll definitely want to check out Arlen’s podcast for today’s most advanced marketing strategies.

Click the link in my bio (or below) to listen to the full podcast (video and blog post included), full of actionable takeaways you can implement in your business today.
