Life Events Come First
Yesterday I was supposed to write a post. I was also supposed to promote the Check Us Out Sale. Neither of those things got done because it was a case that life events come first and take priority. Yesterday, I had to make the decision every pet owner dreads. My 22 year old tabby cat was giving me every sign that his journey was drawing to a close. I decided on a home visit from a vet was the way to go but they didn’t have an appointment until mid-afternoon. While I didn’t want to see him suffer for longer than necessary, this late appointment gave me a chance to…

Find Fellow Entrepreneurs and Find Help
Do you sometimes think if only I could find someone to help me set up my business, or a person the offer suggestions on how to grow my business? One of the downsides of working for yourself is you often don’t know who to turn to when you have a question. Or maybe you want to take your business to the next level and don’t know what path you should take. I’ve always been lucky that I’ve been in groups or been on e-mail lists of fellow entrepreneurs. None of us can do this alone. I went searching online and found the following groups and/or organizations that you might like…

The Key To Streamlining Your Business
Do you feel like you’re starting from scratch every time you work on a product? I used to feel that way each time I’d create a book to self publish or record a class. Half my time was wasted starting over with projects and I grew frustrated. It was precious time I could have spent on lots of other tasks. One day, after losing a file and starting over yet again, I decided it was time to create templates. Once created, things become more plug and play. For example, a template for all my self published books. One for fiction and one for non-fiction. Everything from title page, copyright info,…

Is It Too Late To Join the Party?
Do you think all the good business ideas are taken and it’s too late to join the party? If you spend any time on line or subscribe to newsletters then I don’t have to tell you that lots of people are selling or offering the same thing. For the last five years or so, I’ve seen more people getting side gigs, selling coaching services, selling things on Etsy and this year, well, it seems more people have been invited to join the party. Many of you have told me you’re calling it a day because it’s getting harder to stand out from the crowd when your subscribers are being bombarded…

Some Tuesday Motivation
Yesterday was a holiday and I skipped posting a motivational quote for the week. As I don’t have time to write a post today, I thought I’d post a quote instead.

How to Launch a Planner and Journal Side Gig
Looking for something quick and easy for your side gig? Look no further than the planner and journal business. Yes, I know that market is getting saturated but as I always say, brainstorm new ideas, find a niche that’s untapped, and I think you’ll be on your way to a steady side gig that could turn into full time business. I know lots of people who have done just that. What if you don’t have any graphic design skills or don’t know how to put them together? Remember last week we talked about PLR? While the majority of PLR is in the form of articles, e-books and courses, some journals,…

Feel Like Taking Control of Your Life?
If 2020 has shown us anything, it’s how an unexpected event can change our world, disrupt out lives, and even take away our jobs and income. I think it’s been a wake-up call for lots of people and if starting a business and being more financially independent is now on your must do list then you’re in the right place. This week I want you to think about the following- The kind of business you want The kind of life you want And don’t worry if you still can’t figure it all out because my friend Angela Wills has a program that will help you focus on what type of…
