caterpillars, butterflies, and laughing crowds


"One day I'll fly, said the caterpillar... and everyone laughed, except the butterfly..."

This quote was framed, and placed on the wall of the restaurant where I sat with my mother on Saturday night.

It was there, just behind her.

Almost winking at me and reminding me to smile (dinner with someone who's brain is gradually getting destroyed by Alzheimer's is... well... there are no words really...)

And I thought: "I must share this with my followers next week."

This email is for you, Reader, if you doubt yourself and your ability to succeed.

I just want to say: "You can do it, you really can."

Ignore the doubters - whether they're on the outside or in the recesses of your own mind.

Ignore the haters and those who mock you.

Ignore the failures. Learn from them. Get up and start again.

Whatever it is that you want to achieve, you can do it.

Make a decision, make a plan, take action, commit, stick to it.

You'll surprise yourself with what you get done once you set your mind to it.

Here's to your success!

Let's fly...

Sophie

And if no one sees your offers, you don't make money. Which sucks - because, let's face it, we all want, and need to, make money. Now I started a new traffic experiment a week ago: a 30-day Pinterest challenge. And my blood pressure rose a little when I peeked at my analytics this morning... Barely 48 hours after publishing my first "pins",...

Do you ever sit down to "work on your business" and just stare at the screen? You know you need to do something... but what exactly? There's so much you to do, right? So much you could do... so much you should do... Posting on social media, writing an email, creating a video, answering DMs and comments... The list is endless and it can be so f***ing overwhelming! So you end up scrolling through other people's content, feeling more and more like everyone else has got their sh*t together and is...

Bicycle parked on a wooden bridge casting a shadow

Have you ever heard of Sir David Brailsford? I hadn't, until I heard his extraordinary story in a podcast the other day. It's a story of bicycles, pedals and podiums... Now I know nothing about professional cycling, Reader, but I learned that for more than 100 years, the British were terrible at it. Apparently they were so bad that one bike manufacturer refused to sell them bikes because they were worried it would hurt their brand! This is where Sir David B. comes in. He was hired as British...
