The lie that “successful entrepreneurs” tell you. (Yes the cc cut off. Sorry that’s instagram but the ending is just a recap ;) )

So @tacobell 1am doesn’t mean 1 am to the Warrenton road , Fredericksburg va store. “Our food is already on ice”

@tacobell so 1 am doesn’t mean 1 am eh ?

I’m so excited Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is throwing a football game party for Ushers concert! 🎤 🎶 🏈 😘

But I’m here. Showing up. I GET to do this everyday. You get to do this too. If you want to do something, make it happen within the circumstances of life. Cause we could not be here to do this. Happy (?) world cancer day. I guess for survivors but hugs to those who lost 2/2

People always ask about my saying. “I get to do this”. It’s because it’s true. In 2005 my cancer popped up. It was taken out and radiation treatments in 2007. I’ve been in remission ever since. Up and down with weight, depression and effects from post-cancer meds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀1/2

Pssstttt.. here’s the secret to being owner and CEO Especially on a full day of in-person meetings! Pretty sure it’s never been shared anywhere else before. Always have your emotional support water cup AND a coffee cup 😂

@ChipotleTweets my entire bowl was wrong and you give me a $2 free drink 🙄 it wasn’t even edible.

If you’ve been wanting to be your own boss. Here is your snowy ❄️ sign. Create your business. Quit counting PTO. Start now. 2024 is it. 4/4

We are on day 2 of snow day school closures here and I’ve seen friends stressing on social for childcare coverage. I stress for them. It doesn’t have to be this way though. 3/4

I can vividly remember the days I would stress and cry over snow days, sick days and kids needed appointments…because I was having to do mathematical and calendar gymnastics 🤸 to stay within my PTO. 1/?

The most successful ideas are not complex ones. They’re simple ones that meet a need or want in the market. Your successful idea is in you. Quit overthinking it.

Dedicate time and attention to the not so glamorous stuff. Force yourself to do this - or else your “end result” that is championed in the spotlight will actually be less than your best. 5/5

Financial planning. Legal protection. Mgmt of team. Research into new methods. Testing new platforms. Embrace the ick. Highlight it. Give it diligence it’s owed. Like the cook of the roux is what makes the base. Like the proper seasoning of the oysters make the flavor. 4/5

Yes. This is an ugly container of raw oysters. Gross looking, eh? And behind it is a slow cooking roux as the base for my grandmas gumbo. The ingred separately are not that appetizing - nor do they make for good content. SO wHy ArE yOu pOsTiNg it then , Rachel? 1/?

Here’s my Sunday checklist to reduce Monday stress! 🔘 what items weren’t completed last week? 🔘 are there any must do this week? 🔘 what is my 1% moving the day every day action item? 🔘 sketch out the REAL method for the 1% action (research, evaluate, act and learn)

It’s riskier to put your future and livelihood in someone else’s hands than your own. Let’s make 2024 the year you rock those business goals!

Same goes for a business mentor and a supportive community. You don’t NEED them to achieve money goals. Social goals. Impact goals. But they can shift your mind. You can learn from others. And it sure makes it funner! Ps opening my mentoring again here soon! Stay tuned!! 2/2

You don’t NEED a planner to accomplish goals You don’t NEED a Stanley to meet your water goals You don’t NEED ________ to ______ But you know what? They damn well sure can lead to a mindset shift that puts your 🍑 into action. 1/2
