I launched Sprout Marketing having zero ideas of what it would turn into. I am grateful for the success it’s had, but If I were starting over, I would tackle things a little differently and I’m giving you the insider info you need to start a business successfully. Here are some practical steps and tips you can use when turning your side hustle into your main hustle.

For a lot of us, it’s our nature to work as long and as hard as possible, sometimes (most of the time) to the detriment of our own wellbeing.  We put in overtime, we cut lunch short, we keep pushing back the time we say we’re heading home, and oftentimes that behavior can be justified because we are busy people. But I’m here to tell you, busy doesn’t justify sacrificing your well being both physically and mentally. 

As a property manager, leasing agent, or really any role we have in life there always seems to be an over abundance of to-do lists that need to be finished, items to be bought, and projects that need to be finished. With all that going on at once it can be hard to keep everything straight. Sprout has tons of resources to make your life easier. (One of our favs is the Daily Dose ideas our members rave about.) BUT, did you know that we also have other printable resources you can use to help keep your life organized?!

Let’s face it, there’s sometimes where leases are far and few between. It can feel like ‘frustrating’ isn’t even the right word to describe it. While those moments may come, we don’t have to accept the lag in leases as “normal”. We can combat the ‘leasing block’! In our free webinar, Lease It Like It’s Hot, that we’re hosting next week on August 20th, our CEO Barbara Savona is going to give you 2 secrets to getting more leases immediately.

Working within healthy boundaries that we set for ourselves sounds good but often times we don’t take the time or effort to put them into practice and stick to them. Boundaries are meant to be set up to be constructive, not destructive so there’s no need to be scared of them! To get some help with how to pick a boundary and stick to it, we asked the famous Casey Van Zandt for some coaching, and as always, boy did she deliver!

Another month, another calendar! As a Sprout member there are so many perks but in our opinion it’s hard to beat the monthly marketing calendar. There are just so many good nuggets in it that are easy to follow and more importantly, easy to accomplish. Be sure to download our August Calendar so that you can get all your ideas planned out and read on to find some marketing gems!

You are lucky enough to have a job where you are paid to take vacation so why do you always carry around a little rain cloud with you the whole time, feeling guilty for leaving? The fabulous Casey Van Zandt created a four part series to help us keep that guilt at bay while we’re on vacay! 

Mental blocks...we’ve all had them (and they always show up at the worst time!).

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, overwhelmed, or let’s be honest...maybe you’ve dreamt of running away to a deserted island in the middle of your workday, we are sharing our favorite hacks to get you back on track. The cool thing is these work in business and in life.
