A great summer evening with our community showing up and filling the Old Timer’s Cabin for our first ever Content & Cocktails. Our team enjoyed getting to know the community with some mingling and networking before the event kicked off. Danielle from Etched in Marketing guided all of us through as we sat and built out our content and calendars to set us up for success! Building out content can be typically pretty boring - especially when you are a one women show.. The creative juices were flowing and the buzz in the room was fantastic! No one is bored when learning and creating alongside like minded attendees. Danielle did a fantastic job ensuring that everyone’s questions were answered and time between each step was given to take tangible action immediately following communicating the essential steps in creating content successfully. Cocktails from Bottomz Up Bartending and snacks from 511 Kitchen Amour were a hit and kept the room buzzing all night! HUGE shout out to Inumin Media and Nicole Constante for capturing the vibe!
Sarah from Sarah Van Marketing completed the evening with a must learn mini workshop on SEO + SOCIAL MEDIA! Her expertise and certification from Google was so beneficial for attendees, we realized that our next beneficial workshop to provide to the community should be SEO on Social Media. Because for all of the time, creativity and energy you put in to your content should NOT fall on deaf ears! It is important to connect in the most efficient way possible with your audience (clients, perspective customers, and local community). Sarah’s workshop on SEO + SOCIAL MEDIA will be occurring in November in Edmonton! Become a subscriber on our website to ensure you get the notice sent directly to your inbox! This will be a very popular workshop (just like Content & Cocktails) with limited seating. We can’t wait to launch that soon!
Attendees left feeling inspired and feeling more equipped in regards to building content and how to best promote it to their audiences. Do you have FOMO?! Don’t worry.. We hope to have this event again in 2020 because Content Building & Cocktails just makes sense, right!?

10 Reasons Why Goal Setting Is So Important
We are well into September and now that Q3 is slowly coming to a close, Q4 has been the only thing on my mind. I’ve been brainstorming what I want the rest of the year to look like for me, and a lot of that has involved, self-reflection, creating vision boards and goal setting. Today I want to share with you 10 reasons why goal setting matters and why it is so beneficial to creating life with meaning.
We are well into September and now that Q3 is slowly coming to a close, Q4 has been the only thing on my mind. I’ve been brainstorming what I want the rest of the year to look like for me, and a lot of that has involved, self-reflection, creating vision boards and goal setting. Today I want to share with you 10 reasons why goal setting matters and why it is so beneficial to creating life with meaning.
Goal Setting is eye opening. It makes you realize that if you’re not progressing, you’re stagnant. Nothing is scarier than being in a place you know you shouldn’t be, whether it’s at a dead end job or toxic relationship. As time passes, you may begin to feel stuck. Goal Setting is simply creating the blueprint for how you want your future to unfold and It makes you aware of where you are and where you’re trying to go.
Goal Setting will allow you to become more conscious of how you spend your time. When you have a goal that you are working towards and you really focus on it, you will become conscious of the actions and behaviours that are taking away from your progress.
Goal Setting raises self-awareness. How are you supposed to build the life you want when you don’t know what truly makes you happy? Goal setting requires self-reflection because the bigger the goal, the more compelling your “why” needs to be. You need to have solid reasons for why you won’t give up and why achieving this goal means so much.
Goal Setting will transform you into a better version of yourself. I was always told that achieving your goals isn’t the fulfilling part of goal setting; it’s who you become in the process of chasing what you truly want. Every big goal that you pursue is going to demand a bigger and better version of yourself. The real question you need to ask yourself is, “am I prepared to lay this current version of myself to rest to reinvent myself for the better or am I too attached to who I’ve been?”
Goal Setting will give you a glimpse into the future. If you want the next five years to look better than the last five, start goal setting.
Goal Setting will force you to reassess your friendships and relationships—do your friends motivate and inspire you to take action and pursue your goals? Is your partner interested in developing personally? Do your relationships speed up your progress or slow you down?
Goal Setting will make you aware of what you value – I truly believe that you attract out of life what you are, not what you desire and so if you want better for yourself and your life, you need to get better. Your words, actions and behaviors should reflect the life you are trying to create for yourself and the people you wish to attract into it.
Goal Setting is universally attractive. It is attractive to employers, relationships and friendships. Having goals shows that you have self-respect and standards for yourself and your life. It shows that you are working every day to become a better you, for you!
Goal Setting forces you to become a problem solver—there are going to be plenty inconveniences that you face on the journey of becoming a better version of yourself. One of the most valuable skills you can learn when working towards your goals is being good problem solver. By being flexible with your approaches it will allow you to use your creativity to get yourself through some of your worst roadblocks.
Goal Setting is great for new beginnings—whether you moved to a new city or recently got out of a relationship, goal setting is a great way to reset your mind and focus on what’s coming next.
