To credit card or not to credit card, that is the question. I’m a firm believer in utilizing credit cards both personally and with my business. As long as they are used responsibly there are a lot of key benefits. #ad #wesbancopartner Here are some ways you can maximize your business credit card in order to create healthy credit and watch your business grow: Use your credit card for everyday purchases (Be sure to always track your cashflows in order not to overspend on your card.) Set a goal to pay off your credit card each month Utilize the categorization of expenses Utilize points, perks, and rewards to their maximum potential WesBanco has many different credit card options so you can choose the one that best fits your needs and your business. This is just one of the many ways WesBanco can work with you and your business as you grow!

Really. 37. The year has been a whirlwind to say the least - I opened a coffee shop, maintained my personal social media, and navigated some (at times) major ebbs and flows of some of my closest relationships. I have found that sometimes the most simple things-stillness, kindness, understanding, quiet, grounds me. This year of my life has added a unique chapter to my unfolding story with the resilience, and the beauty of growth through the grind. I am grateful. This next year is all about deeper self-care, not just pampering, but nurturing my mind, body, and soul. In the stillness of a parking garage, I find my moment of peace. A moment to pause, breathe, and appreciate how far I’ve come through the unfiltered reality of my journey. Through it all, I’ve learned that personal growth isn’t always about climbing to the top; sometimes, it’s about finding strength in stillness and beauty in the struggle and the gray areas. So here’s to being 37 – more resilient, more passionate, and more at peace with the woman I’m evolving into. 📷 @juliekahlbaugh
