don't be like me!


Nearly 7pm here in my part of the world...

And I'm in trouble, Reader...

Pizza's in the oven.

We eat in 10 minutes.

And I haven't written my email to you yet!

I broke my own rule this morning and got distracted instead of doing the important tasks first.

So now I'm running late, tired, uninspired, and not proud of myself at all.

But there's an important lesson here, that should help you.

It's a simple trick I can share, that will make you fiercely productive and help you move forward faster.

Here it is:

  • at the end of each day, list the top three "things" you need to do to grow your business
  • and start your day by doing these

Get up an hour earlier than usual if needed - but do this, and you'll see a big difference, I promise you.

Pick three tasks that will make a difference and help you generate some income (either directly or indirectly).

I'm talking tasks such as:

  • writing an email to your list
  • creating a lead magnet
  • creating or editing content
  • replying to comments on your content
  • replying to messages that might lead to a sale

I'm NOT talking about spending an hour on Canva picking a new colour scheme for your website or designing a new logo ;-)

Hope this helps!

A delicious pizza smell is reaching my nostrils... I must dash!

Winding road through snowy, barren landscape

I'm coming to the end of this road, Reader... Soon you'll get no more emails from me (maybe that's a relief lol!). After months of umming and ahing... ...and weeks of trying to pivot whilst still keeping a few toes and fingers in the make money online niche... I'm finally moving on for real. "If Easy and Gluten Free is THE thing, then you cannot do anything other than that" were my mentor's words yesterday. And he's right. The time has come for me to choose and go all in. So what does this...

Tea

People drive me CRAZY at times! You might relate to this,Reader... Yesterday we were sitting in my sister's living-room, sipping a nice cup of afternoon tea... Kids were playing in the background, having a good time... It was gloomy outside, and lovely and cozy inside... All good so far, right? And then, out of the blue, my sister gets on the war path! "So how's your online 'stuff' going?" she asks, her voice loaded with skepticism as she says "STUFF" (notice how she never calls it "work" or...

There's nothing more discouraging than to compare yourself to others who are way ahead of you. I know this - and yet I fall into this trap more often than I care to admit. The other day, I wrote to you about how exciting it is to build a new business... But that's only half the story. It's exciting, for sure. But it's also hard. If you're having a bad day, I'm right there with you Reader. This morning I found myself staring at my YouTube stats for my easy and gluten free channel... ... the...
