the journey begins...


"Email them! Email them every day!", my mentor Dean told me yesterday, on my monthly coaching call.

By "them" he meant you, Reader, and all the other 4000 or so people who've joined my email list.

And you know what...

He's right, isn't he?

I mean - what's the point in having a list of people to email if I don't email them? It's a bit like having a beautiful dress and never wearing it!

So I'm going to be emailing you more, my friend (and if that's a problem, please hit the unsubscribe button at the bottom of this email, I won't be offended at all).

If you've been on my list for a while, you'll know I'm not the usual "pitch till you drop" marketer.

I'm just a mum, who embarked on a journey nearly eight years ago to make money online.

All I ever wanted was to stay at home to look after my kids and my dad.

And I managed it.

Sadly, most people fail at this online game - but by some kind of miracle, I succeeded.

Even though I had no time, little money, no experience and was nearly 50 years old.

Anyway, I'm digressing.

Back to me being atypical and what that means for you and these emails...

I've decided I'll email you daily, Reader - not to pitch you, but to tell you stories...

More specifically, I'll tell you ONE story: the story of my make money online journey.

I'll share what I'm doing and learning...

...so you can follow along if you're interested...

...and do the same if you want to...

It will be a bit like a blog. Or a diary.

I'm going on instinct here - there's no science behind it, no "system" I've been told to follow.

I just know that the world is getting more and more fake, more and more AI... and that I crave REAL talk, REAL stories.

And if I crave it... surely I'm not the only one?

It's all a little out of my comfort zone - but I'll do it anyway.

These emails will need to be written fast - I don't have the time to spend hours on them.

So please forgive how imperfect they'll be.

Well I guess that's it!

It starts today, with this email.

Speak tomorrow,

Sophie

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...

a window with a sign that says keep going, almost there

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...
