The Fresh Start Systems + Running on Routines Bundle already saves you $19, but I'm giving you an additional $31 off TODAY ONLY in honor of my birthday!! That means The Bundle is just $88 (a total savings of $50)!!โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

I know it can be hard to focus in the days leading up to Christmas...โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐ŸŽ„โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
There are presents to wrap, trees to decorate, movies to watch, and cookies to bake!! But thereโ€™s still work to do!!
๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿ’ปโ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Take a few minutes today to brain dump all the things you have to do, need to do, want to do, and think you should do for both your business and your life. Then, go through and ruthlessly prioritize and purge that list.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
๐Ÿ“โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Put a star next to each business task that must get done this month and a heart next to each thing you really want to do with your family or for yourself this month. (Focus on the best, favorite and necessary!!)โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
โœ”๏ธโ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Everything else can wait until January!! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

Remember: When you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance!! ๐Ÿคฉ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Share what you do and what you sell in a comment and then tag at least one other small business owning friend so they can do the same!! ๐Ÿ’—

Many people in our industry make launching something look glamorous and easy...
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Iโ€™d like to pop that balloon today by sharing that I spent most of launch week for The Systems Shop in bed or on the couch dealing with a vicious migraine, an endometriosis flare up, and a truly delightful head cold on top of all that.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I donโ€™t tell you this for atta girls or sympathy, I tell you this because itโ€™s REAL. I tell you this so that the next time something doesnโ€™t quite go the way you wanted or doesnโ€™t quite go according to plan, you can feel SAFE in knowing you arenโ€™t the only one.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
And if youโ€™re a business owner dealing with chronic pain or chronic illness like me, I want you to know that you can *still* DO this. It just wonโ€™t be as easy or as glamorous. But it will be just as worth it. ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’—
