(and What to Do About It)
Let’s get real for a second.
I know there are a lot of voices online telling you that things like having a professional email don’t matter.
That you can just use a free email like Gmail, Yahoo, or heck—even Hotmail—while you “figure things out.”
And while I get where that’s coming from (we all start somewhere), I’m gonna be the one to say it:
That advice is setting you up to fail.
Why a Free Email Isn’t Cutting It
If you’re running a business and emailing from glitterqueen84@yahoo.com or healinghandsbiz2023@gmail.com… you’re not just sending messages—you’re sending a message.
And it’s probably not the one you want people to hear.
Whether we like it or not, your email address is part of your first impression.
Free email accounts can give off “side hustle” or “not fully legit yet” vibes, and while your work might be amazing, that little detail can chip away at the trust you’re working so hard to build.
A Professional Email = Business Credibility
A domain-based email—like yourname@yourbusiness.com—tells people:
- I’m serious about my work.
- I’ve invested in my business.
- I’m trustworthy and established.
Even if you’re just starting out, it instantly levels you up in the eyes of potential clients, partners, and collaborators.
But I Don’t Know How to Set That Up…
I get it—tech stuff can feel overwhelming, especially when your brain’s already juggling 17 tabs (literally and mentally).
But here’s the good news: it’s not as hard as you think. Once you know where to go and what buttons to press, it’s actually pretty quick to set up—and it makes a huge difference.
You Deserve a Business Built on a Solid Foundation
I’m not here to push fluff or trendy hacks. I’m here to help women—especially those with ADHD—build businesses that last.
That means starting with the basics. No more duct tape and digital band-aids.
You need something solid to grow on—not something that crumbles into the sea at the first sign of pressure.
A professional email is one of those foundational pieces. It’s not about being “fancy”—it’s about showing up like the business owner you are.
