Stacy Griner Is Live On Squarespace
We loved creating this website for Stacy Griner to launch her new wellness business! Her brand is all about empowering, educating, and supporting people towards achieving their goals. Stacy hired us for a Restyle and chose our vibrant and fun vault template Kira Reid for her site.
Stacy has a fun and witty vibe, so we really want to incorporate that personality into the design! For the design, we went with an earthy color palette and added some geometric shapes throughout. We’re so excited to see Stacy launched and can’t wait to see how her business grows!
“Nothing is handed to you. You need to go out and find clients, work, and show your skills to succeed in this business.”
GO LIVE: WHERE DID YOUR PASSION FOR THE INDUSTRY OR CRAFT START?
Stacy: My passion started around 8 years ago. I was going through a divorce and I used fitness and mindfulness practices as a way to manage my stress. During this time, I developed a passion for motivating others and began to share practical tips on how to started with your fitness goals, and building a mindset towards making your life better mentally and physically.
GO LIVE: DID YOUR EDUCATION HELP PREPARE YOU FOR THE INDUSTRY OR FOR STARTING YOUR OWN BUSINESS? OR ARE YOU SELF-TAUGHT?
Stacy: I have a degree in Business Management with a Human Resource concentration. I have been able to draw on some of the things that I have learned. I'm just starting out, so I'm sure I will gain many lessons just from trial and error.
GO LIVE: WHAT’S THE HARDEST LESSON YOU’VE LEARNED IN YOUR BUSINESS?
Stacy: So far, it's just trusting my gut and letting go of the idea of perfection.
GO LIVE: WHAT DO YOU WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU WHEN YOU STARTED OUT?
Stacy: Many people told me how hard it was to start a business, and I've found that to be very true. However, the one thing that I think isn't talked about as much is how lonely it can be. I'm always looking for other women entrepreneurs that I can connect with and meet up for a joint work session as community is important to me.
GO LIVE: WHAT WAS THE MOMENT YOU HAD WHEN YOU SAID, “I SHOULD DO THIS” OR WHAT MADE YOU TAKE THE JUMP INTO WORKING FOR YOURSELF?
Stacy: I was in Guatemala and I was working on a pros/cons list of taking the leap to work for myself vs. stay with my corporate job. As I was writing, a voice popped into my head and said, if not now...when. That sealed the deal for me. I came back and started putting things in motion and haven't looked back.
GO LIVE: WHAT THINGS HAVE YOU GAINED / DO YOU HOPE TO GAIN FROM FOLLOWING THIS DREAM?
Stacy: My word for 2018 was freedom and that's exactly what I believe I've gained by betting on myself and taking the leap to start my business. I have already grown so much mentally and spiritually, and although I know it will be a lot of work, I'm trusting the journey. I'm so excited to work with my clients and empower them to thrive through all of life's rewards and challenges.
GO LIVE: WHY DID YOU ULTIMATELY DECIDE TO WORK WITH US FOR YOUR RESTYLE OR CUSTOM DESIGN?
Stacy: The quick turn-around time, the fact that it was woman-owned, and the variety of beautiful and creative work that I had seen on other's websites really made the decision easy.
