I am a NEXT-LEVEL advocate for "if it ain't broke, I am a NEXT-LEVEL advocate for "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" 🙅🏼‍♀️ But I'm an EQUALLY strong advocate for "working smarter, not harder" in both my life and business!! 💁🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which is why I'm constantly stopping and asking myself:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 How can I make this better, easier, simpler, smarter, or funner?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ In my business, it looks like me investing in gorgeous Canva templates instead of me trying to create graphics from scratch and spending hours every week on it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ In my life, it looks like subscribing to all of my favorite products (aka creature comforts) so I don't have to remember to re-order them and I never run out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are just 2 examples!! There are TONS of things you can can do to make things better, easier, simpler, smarter, or funner in your life and business!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ As we look toward a new week, I want you to keep this in mind: Anytime something feels like a bummer, or a drag, or harder than it should, ask yourself what you can do to make it better, easier, simpler, smarter, or funner!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you need help, hit me up in the comments or DMs!! I would love to help you figure it out!! 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 What have you already made better, easier, simpler, smarter, or funner in your life or business?!

You should always leave room for what I call 🤍 You should always leave room for what I call 🤍 White Space Grace 🤍 on your calendar!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But what is White Space Grace?! 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s leaving room on your calendar—also known as WHITE SPACE—so you can give yourself GRACE and room to breathe or pivot when need be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life happens!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Good things and bad things pop up all the time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 Having white space already set aside on your calendar means emergencies and opportunities won’t throw you off quite as much!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have white space set aside on my calendar every single Friday. 🗓 Sometimes I use it to catch up on things I didn’t get to during the week, sometimes I use it to get a jumpstart on a project, and other times I use it to take a nap!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How you give yourself WHITE SPACE GRACE is completely up to you!! 🥰

Comment 🤍 if you plan to schedule White Space Grace into your calendar from now on!!

Doing things like cleaning, folding laundry, and p Doing things like cleaning, folding laundry, and pulling weeds are so much more FUN when you have something FUN to listen to—am I right?! 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I know how TEMPTING it is to make a long list of t I know how TEMPTING it is to make a long list of to-dos and goals at the start of a new month, but it's actually the WORST thing you can do 😱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I tell my coaching clients this all. the. time:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📣 Focus on LESS to accomplish MORE!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you're trying to do ALL the things, flitting from one task to the next, never sitting down to focus (or finish) ONE thing, you wind up accomplishing next to nothing. 😔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's so much easier to focus on one task, one project, one goal at a time -- so you see it through to completion!! 💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🤓 That's why I recommend setting quarterly goals that you break down into monthly projects -- one for each!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For example: My Q2 goal is a new website experience including new freebies and funnels!! 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then, I break that goal down into monthly projects:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☔️ April: Create/Design Freebies
🌷 May: Write + Set Up Funnels
☀️ June: Website Redesign
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So much more doable and accomplishable!! And the epitome of working smarter, not harder 🙌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 Tell me: How can you do less with more focus this month/quarter?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. Do you want to hear more about my goals >> projects >> tasks breakdown and what I'm working on behind-the-scenes right now?! 🤗

Anyone else making 👆🏻 this 👆🏻 face whe Anyone else making 👆🏻 this 👆🏻 face when they get on Instagram or even think about getting on Instagram lately?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know I have!!! 🙋🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It just isn’t as FUN as it used to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On the one hand, it’s so serious and stressful, and hard to figure out. On the other hand, it’s so freaking noisy and downright ridiculous at times.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t want to add to the noise. I don’t want to post just to post. And I really don’t want to do or say ridiculous things just to get the algorithm’s attention. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me I’m not the only one feeling this way 🥺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been doing some serious thinking about how I want to show up here and after a sweet nudge from a friend (looking at you @elizabeth.birenbaum 💗), I’ve decided to do some new things MY WAY!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All in all, this is just a really wordy post to say I’M BACK, BABY!!! 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 What have y’all been up to?! Catch me up on all your life and business happenings!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what’s been happening with me:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Along with this SERIOUS case of Instagram burnout, I’ve also been dealing with some INTENSE endometriosis flare ups (3 in 6 weeks 😩), as well as working as hard as I can *when I can* on a new course, website, and business strategy!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Needless to say, I’m super pumped for the month of May!! 🌷 How about you?!

I NEVER jump headfirst into anything.

Saying YES to @jeremyandmegan’s Revenue Ripple last year was a HUGE leap of faith.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking back now, I know it was THE BEST (BUSINESS) YES I’ve ever said!! 🤗
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One year ago, I felt like digital products weren’t for me and that creating passive income was somebody else’s pipe dream.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I jumped into Revenue Ripple as my last-ditch effort, sink or swim opportunity, Hail Mary pass. I showed up, I did the work, and I saw *pinch-me* RESULTS!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ $1,583 in 12 hours
✨ $4,989 in 5 days

✨ $600 in the last 3 days alone!!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Passive profit is REAL. 🤩 You just need a blueprint for how to *actually* make it work in your business. Revenue Ripple IS that blueprint!!

It took me ONE WHOLE YEAR to put together my first It took me ONE WHOLE YEAR to put together my first two digital products: Fresh Start Systems and Running on Routines. 🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And even though a year can sometimes go by in the blink of an eye, that year FELT like an eternity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’d taken a few courses on creating courses and digital products by that point, but I STILL felt like I’d been dropped into the deep end of a VERY unfamiliar pool 😵‍💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had no real plan, map, system, or even template to follow. I flailed around a lot, exerted A LOT of energy, and constantly felt like I was in over my head 😫 I almost gave up on creating both products multiple times.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After they launched, the initial response was great, but then it waned, and I had NO IDEA what to do to get these products to sell aside from me talking about them ad nauseam on social media.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had heard about automatic/evergreen sales funnels, but the set up and tech sounded SUPER complicated and scary 🤯, so I stayed away.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
‼️ It took 2 YEARS to see any significant income from Fresh Start Systems and Running on Routines. And by that point, even though I was teeming with new ideas, I felt like digital products weren’t for me and that creating passive income was somebody else’s pipe dream (i.e. not for me) 😔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was feeling pretty crestfallen about digital products, my business, EVERYTHING when @jeremyandmegan announced a new program called Revenue Ripple.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻 Over on the blog, I’m diving DEEP into what Revenue Ripple is, what makes it different, what I did to get the most out of the course + challenge + coaching experience, and how it CHANGED my business!! 🤩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m also pulling back the curtain and sharing what it REALLY looked like creating Asana Assistant (the product that came out of my Revenue Ripple experience)!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Check it out on the blog!! Link is ready and waiting for you in my profile!! 🤓
If it’s not SCHEDULED, it’s not getting DONE!! If it’s not SCHEDULED, it’s not getting DONE!! 👊🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what I’m making time for this week:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That title had me RUNNING to sign up for this FREE 3-part video series that starts tomorrow (Monday)!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you do, then I have just the thing for you to listen to!! 👉🏻 Grab your headphones and check out my interview with @manalisontakke on her Behind the Business Podcast + YouTube Series!! 🎧
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had such an amazing conversation about routines, to-do lists, schedules, productivity, and time management!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HERE ARE A COUPLE OF OUR FAVORITE SNIPPETS:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ “There’s no point in creating a to-do list, that at the end of the day you’re going to kick yourself for not getting all of it done. That’s no way to live life, that’s no way to do business. You can’t set yourself up to fail before you’ve even begun.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ “So many people focus on time management, and I wish that wasn’t as big of a thing as it is. Because it’s not just about time management, it’s also about energy management and self-management.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ “Even if things don’t go according to plan, you can still have the same goal, you just have to change how you get to that goal. You have to change the path. You have to change the plan, and like they say, even if plan A doesn’t work, there’s 25 other letters in the alphabet.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll put the links to watch or listen to the interview in my Stories!! 🤩

I’m not *technically* supposed to have gluten bu I’m not *technically* supposed to have gluten but I WILL cheat for sprinkle donuts every time (especially if they come from Mrs. Murphy’s 😍 a little shop in my hometown that should be recognized on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now that you understand my undying love and commitment to sprinkle donuts, you understand that when I say The Passive Bundle is sprinkle-donut-level goodness, I mean it with my whole 💗!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re talking 31 high-level courses, tools, templates, and resources to help you make 2022 the year you create (and scale!) passive income in your business!! You also get 3 MONTHS FREE inside @jeremyandmegan's Digital Lab All Access Membership, which is like the icing on the donut because it’s THE BEST educational membership I’ve EVER paid for!! 🍩
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the sprinkles? That’s the fact that all of these courses separately would cost you $5,013, but if you buy The Passive Bundle BEFORE Friday, February 11th (that's TOMORROW, in case you lost track) at 11:59pm PST, you get them ALL for $99!! 🥳
