I don’t talk about this enough.

But I’ve lived on both sides of it ~ and the difference is undeniable.

When I was showing up depleted, running on empty, in a chaotic space, eating whatever, skipping movement ~ my output reflected it.

Not just in business. In everything.

I’ve been eating the leftovers off my kids’ plates and calling it lunch.
Not hitting my macros. (Macros = carbs, fats, protein) Not moving my body enough. Running on coffee and good intentions. 😅

And then wondering why showing up feels so hard.

When I started treating myself like the most important asset in my business? Everything shifted.

Not because I had a better strategy.

Because I was a better version of me executing it.

This isn’t wellness content.

This is founder content.

Because you can have the best offer in the world ~ but if the person behind it is running on stress, cortisol, and cold coffee…

You’ll feel it. Your audience will feel it. Your content will show it.
So before you overhaul your strategy ~

Get your sleep.

Move your body.

Clean your space.

Eat food that fuels your brain.

Drink the water.

These aren’t soft habits.

They’re the foundation everything else is built on.

I know this from experience. Not theory.
And I needed the reminder today too.

💾 Save this for the days it’s hard to remember why it matters.

You didn’t build this far to stay small online.

But if your brand photos still look like an afterthought ~ that’s exactly what they’re communicating.

I just wrote the full breakdown of how I prep for my own brand shoot (yes, I do this for a living, and I still follow this prep plan).

From shot lists to moodboards to the “weird” ideas you should absolutely bring ~ it’s all there.

Kia ora, I’m Jasmine ~ but call me Jaz or Jazzy 👋🏽

Brand photographer. Content strategist.
Māmā of 2. Ngāti Tuwharetoa. NZ based.

Photography was literally the only subject at school I completed with excellence. The only one I actually gave a s**t about. Turns out that tracks. 😂🖤

I spent 9 years building a clothing brand from scratch ~ so when I picked up a camera professionally, I already knew what brands actually needed. Not just pretty photos. Content that works.

Here’s what I do:

📸 Brand & product photography (All your business needs) can include BTS videos

📱 Content strategy & social media plans (Helping you grow through socials)

🎬 UGC content that converts (A fun side gig that’s now apart of what I do)

And if you’re a busy founder/business owner trying to do it all yourself ~ I made something for that too.

Keep scrolling.

What if you just needed a kick up the bum with your content and just started posting the thing that needs to be posted?
Whats the dream? Whats the possibility? What are you willing to do to make that happen?

Stop playing small!

Simple but worth noting 📝
Turn on your grid lines and film yourself with your eyes on the top line.
That’s it.
No fancy camera. No ring light. No editing magic.

Just a good lil simple tip for you.

Next time you’re filming yourself for those ‘talking head reels’ because I know you’re planning on doing them, think of this tip 🖤✊🏽

I gotchu 👌🏽

There you go I said it 😂

Have a FINANCIAL PLAN FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND A FU***NG MARKETING BUDGET 💸

I learnt the hard way, then learnt from the experts and that’s when I started to scale and understand the true meaning of profit in my clothing brand.

Remember you can’t scale with a s**tty product ✌🏽

Founder Tea 🫖
Nobody hands you a manual when you start a business.
You figure it out the hard way, or you find someone who’s already been through it.

The advice that actually matters doesn’t come from courses or textbooks
~ it comes from doing the thing,
making the mistakes,
and being brutally honest about what you learned.

These are the lessons I wish someone had told me earlier.
The stuff that would have saved me time, money, and a lot of unnecessary stress.

No fluff.
No perfectly packaged advice.
Just real talk/kōrero from someone still in it.

Swipe through and take what’s useful ~ leave the rest.
Save this one, you’ll want to come back to it. ☕
Drop a 🖤 in the comments if any of these hit home
