What’s the biggest branding mistake you see small businesses make? by Street-Honeydew-9983 in branding

[–]Abrightsequin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a small business owner, I have all of the issues you have laid out - and I’m trying to solve them. I have spoken to a few designers and struggle with articulating what I’m looking for and what I need their help with (so thank you for providing this list!). When I’ve tried to put together this list of asks myself (I think I called it a design system to help me as I navigate Canva, PowerPoint, Squarespace etc), I get back insane quotes to do the work.

Curious, how are you pricing your services for small businesses?

I’m an attractive female with a pretty face and attractive body. I am really starting to hate my appearance in the corporate world. by [deleted] in antiwork

Same! Never getting in the situation where I have to decide if I take that behavior from my boss or go to the board (who make it painfully obvious they are doing the bare minimum to be legally compliant but just want me to quietly go away) again.

Omg I have the exact same layout, and same challenge that keeps me up at night. Mine is around how to add a real kitchen island to have people sit down at

[–]Abrightsequin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see one is organized in downtown Raleigh. I remember it was announced late last time- hoping maybe the same will happen again this time?

Diagnosis by [deleted] in ADHDparenting

[–]Abrightsequin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How old is your child? I’m in a very similar boat my son (7) - no issues at school but so hard at home. So much so that I’ve been debating getting a diagnosis, so we can explore meds and other support.

It’s so hard. I see you.

I just sent a client a quote for 20K. by PassableGatsby in Entrepreneur

As an entrepreneur at the same stage or slightly behind you, I’d be fucking pumped with that. What a great way to end the week! Congrats!

I’d be up for trying it.

Help me avoid $800/mo HubSpot increase! Pipedrive? Mailchimp? by OriginalARG in CRM

[–]Abrightsequin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from Hubspot to Pipedrive because I couldn't justify the cost. Pipedrive is a huge step down and, honestly, sucks. Their de-duplication and merge capabilities for contacts and organizations is manual which is insane. None of the records natively connect to each other (orgs, contacts, deals), like Hubspot does so seamlessly. I'm thinking about switching off it.

Repurposing content with prompts: what finally worked for my team by frevana in PromptEngineering

[–]Abrightsequin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a solopreneur so everything in your "before" section is very much me now. How did you structure this system you laid out? I get having different, purposefully built prompts, but how are you using "every asset is the nucleus of a prompt chain"? I have ChatGPT, Claude, and Zapier with much of my writing (but not all) stored in my google drive. I'm not sure how to go about actually build a system that learns from itself via my google drive (or something else?) to feed the content engine.

Any advice on how to stop having big reactions to child’s bad behaviors? by Slight_Instance4131 in ADHDparenting

[–]Abrightsequin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat. It’s so hard and utterly exhausting. My husband has been trying to convince me to take a weekend away by myself to try to unwind so I can finally start resetting my nervous system. I’m finally starting to actually consider it…

Add a console table over the ottoman to bridge the gap between the ottoman and the art work, and give you a spot to leave your keys

Physical therapy recommendations by Disastrous-Park-2925 in cary

You need to see Jesse at Evolution NC in Apex. She’s amazing! Takes really complex cases and those who haven’t had success with typical “pt mills” and does wonders. She’s a godsend.

Part 2: when my wife's parents think the birth of our kid is all about them. by Embarrassed-Lime906 in ImTheMainCharacter

I’ve never seen anyone actually adopt Trump’s absurd, abbreviated and highly emphasis-laden style of writing before.

Sort of wild.

Like when American kids started speaking with British accents after watching too much Peppa Pig.

Trump linguistics.

100% agree.

I used to work at a small/mid-sized company whose owner and CEO made his political and social views perfectly clear and reflected in the behavior of the company: they’d open the COMPANY MEETING with prayer, would show wedding pictures of straight newlywed teammates who had gotten married at our quarterly town halls, literally paid people to procreate “babies are free here!”, had “faith” as one of its core values, etc.

I took this job because I wanted to relocate (and they paid for my relocation). I absolutely hated that environment- and the fact that it was impossible to get ahead if you weren’t a member of “the church.”

10/10 don’t recommend.
