Hi Reader I’ve been working on doing hard things. Or at least hard things for me or things I’m scared of. My entire parenting, homeschooling and business journey has been filled with them. Designing my first website, designing my first client website, posting my first blog post, asking for my first testimonial, posting my first social media business post, the list goes on. Yesterday, I mentioned one of my focuses this year was on writing better emails. Another thing I’ve been working on is visibility. It's hard to run a profitable business if you don't tell anyone about it! Last month, I got brand photos done for the first time (still waiting for them to come back!). At the beginning of this month, I applied to be a speaker at an online summit/retreat for the first time. Today, I got the email that they accepted my application! I’m thrilled and terrified! Wish me luck and pray for me as I begin prepping for the event in May. I’d love to know what hard things your working on in life or your biz. Hit reply and let me know! ​ Cheers, When you are ready here’s three ways we can help:

Hi Reader Setting up MemberVault finally made it to the top of my to do list. It’s been a long time coming… Like 2 years+. I bought the lifetime plan back then because it was my favorite platform to be a student in. But for a number of reasons including: Moving 4 times, Unexpected deadlines for other programs I was in, Migrating my email from Flodesk to Kit (because of the direct integration), Starting a website update and not feeling it about halfway through, Finally getting inspiration and...
Hi Reader, I've been head down working on this first speaking opportunity all last week. Thursday, I turned in my video. Friday I finished my new guide and started connecting it all with MemberVault.
