🍍 Aloha Friday Scoops From Your Techie Bestie | April 26, 2024
|
Itʻs Aloha Friday Reader!! 🌺 Iʻve been having conversations with my kiddo on her thoughts on working for a big company and having to chat with so many people throughout her shift. She had a revelation. "I like people more than I thought" TikTok BanTikTok is in the news because President Biden signed into law a bill that could ban the smartphone app in the US. But maybe you've never used TikTok. Here's the basics and why the app is important. TikTok CEO talking about the banHave you ever needed something digital for work you are doing but needed more. Like letʻs say while working in Canva you arenʻt getting or seeing what you need to make your design complete? I like to use Creative Market. Iʻve purchased fonts, graphics, website templates, etc. Fair warning if you love fonts like how I love fonts, you may spend a whole day without realizing it down that rabbit hole. 🤪 I met this weekʻs community bestie a couple of years ago and have loved all the tips sheʻs shared. Being a photographer her eye to detail is like *chefʻs kiss*. In fact I purchased a lightroom preset package I use every week to use on my photos. Anyway, sheʻs a Instagram queen and I constantly learn from her and you can too. What helps you focus when working? Sometimes I need ambient music in the background and I realize I work really well when I head to my local coffeehouse. Iʻve had this or other videos as part of my playlist. So hope this helps.
K, Byeeeeee! Selena P.S.- Anna & I did a 30 days in April Video challenge a couple years ago and this was one of the videos that still apply to Canva users =) |

I'm speaking at the Pivot Summit Nov 3–5. Free to attend. 🍍 A note from Selena There's a pivotknocking. Aloha besties, You know that tug you've been feeling? The quiet "something needs to change" in the back of your brain: the business model, the offers, the way you spend your days? That's not a red flag.That's a pivot knocking. And here's what nobody tells you: you don't have to figure it out alone at 11 PM with 14 browser tabs open. I'm speaking at The Pivot Summit Nov 3–5 · Free · Online ·...
Aloha besties, I can tell a client exactly what their business needs with my eyes closed. Ten years of doing this and it's practically reflex — I can look at someone's setup and see what's leaking, what's duplicated, what's quietly costing them six hours a week. I'll build it out, map it, hand it over, and they'll say "how did you see that so fast?" And then there's my own business. Not because I don't know better. Because I don't always have the time. I'm in everyone else's backend all week,...
Aloha besties, Confession: I'm writing this from my actual real-life vacation. The one I'm not supposed to be thinking about work during. And yet — here I am, hitting send on purpose, because this is the whole point. So let's talk about why you'd even want this thing. 😑 Because "I'll just figure it out" is not a plan. You've tried the out-of-office message. You still checked Slack from the pool. You've tried going full radio silence. You came home to 400 unread emails and a client who thought...
