Build an Obsession Brand

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—I’ve been quiet. And there’s a reason. This episode is personal. I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing where I’ve been, why I hit pause, and what’s shifting as I step back into my company with more clarity than ever. Because the truth is, building a brand doesn’t always look like forward momentum—and sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is slow down. If you’ve ever felt like you’re building something that no longer feels aligned… or if you’ve felt the pressure to keep showing up even when it’s not working for you...

Build an Obsession Brand

Build an Obsession Brand

Whether you’re a full-face glam type or a natural face girlie, you probably already know one of the most important (and hard to perfect) steps of the makeup routine:  Your foundation.  I was struggling with this myself this past year. My usual go-to—the Fenty Sheer Glow foundation—just never really agreed with my skin, no matter what I tried. It looks so bomb on other people, but on me, it just sat kind of cakey and dry. My skin never drank it up like I wanted it to.  Enter my new fav: the Dior Forever Skin Glow foundation. I gave this one another try, and voila: melty,...

Build an Obsession Brand

Picture this:  You’ve poured hundreds (if not THOUSANDS) of hours into designing the perfect product.  You know it works. You went through dozens of prototypes to iron out every single kink. It addresses a particular problem and makes things 10X easier. Heck, you use it yourself! People should love this.  And yet…it’s not flying off the shelves.  Lots of you are probably in this predicament yourself. And if you are, I want to tell you something super important:  You have a great product—but that’s not enough.  Your blood, sweat, and marketing budget is a...

Could you use more money?  Maybe the answer to that is obvious. As entrepreneurs, we’re always asking ourselves where we can get funding.  Funding gives us the chance to pour ourselves into our business. It gives us opportunities to grow our product lines, our inventories, and our marketing outreach. It gives us peace of mind as we use our time for our families, our projects, and our brand.  Funding gives us freedom.  We talk a lot about how to increase our sales, but there’s another source of funding out there: investors.  Getting funding on the front end can be a...

Build an Obsession Brand

If you’re looking back on the last three months of 2024 and still feeling lost, then today’s message is for you! A long, long time ago (aka December 2023), I found myself wistfully thinking ahead to what 2024 might have in store. (Not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty good at nailing down trends!) Now, I’ve gotten to see some of those trends in action, and I’m bringing my results straight to you! Think of where you’re at now that we’re into the thick of 2024.  Maybe the things you had focused on in the beginning now don’t seem to be paying off.  Maybe you’re...

As we head into Q2, you may be pouring over the bills on the table with a heavy heart.  It probably feels like there’s not enough to work with—too little in the bank, too many expenses popping up, and no room to breathe in between.  You may have even seen your sales plateau, despite doing EVERYTHING right. You’re showing up, you’re putting in the work, and yet, your sales aren’t matching your energy.  If this hits close to home for you right now, then I’m here to share one of the most important things you’ll ever read when it comes to your brand:  You do not...

Picture this:  You’re doing all the right things. Your content is getting clicks, your sales are trickling in. Things are finally starting to move in the right direction.  In fact, things are almost going too well. As the CEO, you are the one responsible for everything. The planning, the marketing, the writing, the accounting. Everything.  And you are tired.  So what do you do? The marketing gurus online seem to all point to one thing: hiring a team.  That should make things easier, but now you’re faced with another crucial decision: Who in the world do you hire?...

We don’t always think about ourselves in the marketing equation. However, the products we pick have an impact on us. 

The question typically is - what’s the reason why you swiped your credit card to purchase? 

Is there anything you can glean from your own purchasing behavior?

For a fun peek at my own newly minted skincare routine (and my thoughts on how I would market those same products, based on my experience), be sure to check out my newest podcast and Youtube episode on Getting Ready WIth Maureen - aka Learn With Maureen. 

You may walk away with a new product in your cart, or a new idea in your mind. 

Either way, you’re gonna feel good. 💅
