    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…

    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?

    PLR-Private Label Rights

    Want a quick way to add content to your site or put together a quick publication to give to clients or subscribers? If you create content, I probably don’t have to tell you it’s a lot of work. It’s time consuming and to be perfectly honest, some days you draw a blank about what to share with your audience. You could hire someone to do the writing for you but that can get expensive. An another alternative is PLR. It stands for Private Label Rights. It can be anything from an already written blog post, an e-book or even a journal or planner. The creator sells you PLR rights which…

    Planning Ahead

    Fall is still a little over a month away but with an early morning chill in the air, I’ve begun planning. Fall not only ushers in beautiful colors and more comfortable temps, but the realization that there’s only four more months left in the year. Time to take a look back at what you’ve done, what you promised to do, and what you can still do in those four remaining months. Yesterday, I sat down and began my fall planning and thought I’d share it with you. Bundle Contributions I’m taking part in two bundle contributions this fall. I’m excited about it because earlier contributions helped me grow my list.…

    MEconomy Is Coming Back

    Want to set your own rules? Want to be on your way to creating a business that can lead to financial freedom? When I read Angela’s latest e-mail, I was excited to see that starting on September 8th, she’s running her MEconomy Revolution program again. The cost is just $190 but if you become a member of Laptop YOUniversity you’ll only pay $95. More good news is Angela will be including personal coaching with the program which usually costs $400 but it’s included in the cost of the program. She’s limiting MEconomy registration to only 100 people and quite a few have already signed up so I wouldn’t waste any…

    Business Ideas For 2020 and Beyond

    Want to start a business but lost for ideas? Many of you have contacted me saying you’d love to start a business but haven’t got a clue as to what sort of business to launch. Rather than respond to each of you, I thought I’d write a post about it. In fact, I sat and brainstormed what ideas I think will work for 2020 and probably beyond. To say this year is a strange one, well, that’s an understatement. We’ve seen a shift from what less than a year ago was considered normal. People getting up and going to work, kids heading off to school but now our lives look…

    Is Now A Good Time To Start a Business?

    Should you ever start a business during a recession? Oh yeah, you should! Lots of well known, successful businesses were launched during a downturn in the economy. General Electric, General Motors, IBM, Disney and Microsoft just to name a few. You’d be in great company if you started a business right now. So why take the risk? Here are my top reasons to go for it- What Have You Got to Lose? Maybe you’ve lost your job, maybe you’re in a age group where it’s going to be tough to land another job. Use your past talents, skills and knowledge to venture out on your own…as I often tell myself…
