Overview

Ask any small business owner if they wish they had the wisdom and knowledge they have today when they were first starting out and the answer will absolutely be "Yes!"  


In a world of limitless resources available both online and in person, where does the prospective business owner begin?  What if the thought of determining a revenue goal or profit and loss statement feels insurmountable? (Right-brained creatives raise your hand.)  How does anyone make time for family and a career, much less their own enterprise?     


#Create is the guide every entrepreneur - or parentpreneur - needs to start and scale their small business, define goals and live a more fulfilling life as an individual or parent.  More than a manual, #Create is a holistic account that reaches beyond its borders to inspire and empower creative proprietors to tackle the unknown one step at a time.    


Danielle LeFebvre is an accomplished professional photographer of twelve years who got her start as an architectural designer.  She's the grateful and proud owner of a successful portrait and wedding business in Rhode Island.  Danielle is a wife and mother with a refreshing and authentic voice on overcoming fear, improving self-worth and measuring (financial and emotional) success. 


In #Create, Danielle balances life experiences and advice with numerous resources and tools to grow a small business profitably, identify a target customer base, market meaningfully and achieve work life balance. 


"When we say we want to have more 'work-life balance,' what we really mean is we want to feel like we're making progress.  We want to feel more accomplished and less stressed at the end of the day."


Entrepreneurs looking to get started need not look further.  #Create is the toolbox every professional needs to build something wonderful.


In this book you will learn: 

- How to change your mindset and overcome your barriers to create success and wealth in life and business 

- How to find meaning and joy in your work 

- How to set a revenue goal and achieve your desired income 

- How to create a business plan, a marketing plan and a plan for financial sustainability
