Creative journal prompt:

Happy Sunday Reader! [Journal prompts below] Have you heard of morning pages? It's a wildly popular exercise to get "unstuck" in your creativity, taught by Julia Cameron and shared in her book, The Artist's Way. I love using this same practice - free writing for 3 pages with no judgement - to come up with new creative offers for my business! I shared this practice with my client Cindee, a meditation teacher, and she turned it into $5,842.00! She'd been deliberating for months—she wanted to...

Your brand is more than just a logo or a pretty website—it’s the soul of your business. But how do you make sure your brand's visual identity reflects your purpose?

We get into the power of purpose, creating a cohesive brand and sooo much more! I really loved this convo because: 1) sustainable and eco-conscious business is a passion of mine,...

Hi Reader! I'm dropping in with a last call on Early Bird pricing for the LOVE Your Digital Offer program that starts next week. It's currently only $97 to join the 3-week program, but that goes up to $197 tomorrow.

You know the feeling... Someone DM's you asking for info about your business and you freeze up... You WISH you had a simple, quick response with a dream digital asset ready to go. 🥵 "PDFs, courses or products - what to sell? What if it isn't what she wants? I still need to pull some pieces together... add images... it's not quite....” But, they asked... so you whip together a looooong text with the FULL laundry list of details. 😳 You want to send a sales page or at least a...

I have a prediction, Reader… 🔮 I believe when we look back, 2025 will be the year that a mass movement of coaches, consultants and service providers step into their “Legacy Era" by creating value-driven digital assets to share online.Why? First, it’s easier than ever to create a digital offer. 👉🏻 You can design a valuable piece of content in no time using tools like ChatGPT, Canva and KIT. Second, people feel nervous about the stability of the economy. 🔥 That may paralyze some... but it will...

Last week I gave a free talk to a room of 25 entrepreneurs who had all started a podcast. All of them (except one) told me they had email lists but they had never sold anything. Which begs the question: How do you actually make money from your email list? Thankfully, I have an answer - and I recorded a podcast episode for you!Converting subscribers into customers through email is actually one of the simplest marketing strategies that exists. You don't have to roll the dice and hope your post...

How to get unstuck creatively by taking baby steps. Listen to the Mindset to Market podcast on Apple.

Hey Reader, This past weekend I found myself in a venue as big as a town... Surrounded by creators from all over the world... And with soooo many options to learn, create and network.
