[Your Color Style] 🌷Jen's Mission, Coupon, My Girlfriend Voice and more...
Published: Sun, 06/28/20
Happy Sunday!
I've been spending this past month reevaluating my business goals. My personal goals. I set pretty ambitious goals for myself at the beginning of each year. Some, I achieve and others I tweak as year goes on. I used to beat myself up for not meeting a goal or feel like I'm cheating if I change a goal mid-year. The truth is, they're MY goals. My definition of success. If they don't inspire me after a few months, I need to take a deeper look
as to why.
I'd like to share with you my updated mission statement. If you're new to this newsletter, you'll quickly learn that I am all about transparency. I love sharing with you where I'm going personally and where this business is going. YCS is for you. I design it with you in mind. Always. Plus, I love hearing what you have to say. :-)
I help women reconnect with their authentic selves
through creative expression.
I think it's important for everyone to have a mission statement. It's not necessarily a business statement. It's who and what you stand for in everything you do. I'm crafting a business around my mission statement, but it's also a reflection of me. Learning how to wear colors that flatter me and resonate with me with is one way of expressing myself. I like to think of ourselves as a blank canvas. How will you apply color to your
canvas today? This very activity is a creative expression. Maybe it's a fun pair of earrings... a fun lip color... a graphic tee... colorful shoes... for favorite sweater... or all one color. The only thing that should matter is how you feel when you apply your colors. In broad strokes or small pops... this is you. And you should feel like you... authentically and amazingly you.
I also spend a lot of time in my art journal. This is where I truly feel connected to my soul. I love creating, art, color, art supplies... and watching a self expression manifest on paper. This is truly joyful for me. I share my art journal on my personal instagram, if you're
interested.
What brings you joy? Is there something you truly love to do t
hat makes you feel like you... something you do that is only for you.
I also want to start helping people build online businesses that are true expressions of themselves. Just like YCS is an expression of me... I want to help you do the same. I've started this with offering the YCS Coach certification program. And now, I want to take it a step further. I promised my
coaches that they would get a business program with their certification... so, if you're part of the certification program, you will also gain access to a new program I am producing. If there is something you love doing... that brings you joy... and it excites you (maybe scares you a little) to create an online business around it... then this might be for you.
IMPORTANT: This will not be a YCS product... I'm telling you about it now because you may be interested. But, don't worry, I will NOT be sending you info on starting a business. If you are interested, we'll move the conversation outside of Your Color Style.
With all of that said...
Please take 2 minutes to answer a 3 question survey. Almost every product and program I produce is based on your feedback. I truly want to hear from you, even if the honest comments sometimes sting. I know I'm not perfect and that there is a LOT of room for improvement. But I don't know
what your perspective is... and I want to know. Take the survey.

Your Color Style Journey
Our mission is to help you express your authentic self though color and creativity.
A few years ago, I found myself divorced, grieving over losing my oldest daughter and truly lost. I had forgotten what it was like to have true joy in my life. Did I ever really know? I didn't know who I was or what truly made me happy.
As I went through the process of learning about myself, I founded Your Color Style. Identifying the colors that make you feel amazing is a simple step you can take to build your confidence. Color transformed my life. It is now my mission to help you get through whatever transition is going on in your life through color... so that you can feel more like you again.

LEARN What Colors Flatter You (aka Your Color Style Type)
I am a HUGE believer that the more you know about color, the more you know the colors that flatter you best. LEARNING is key to understanding what colors really work for you.
Once you know your color type, you'll want your complete color palette in your hand so that you can start to edit your wardrobe and shop with confidence.
