Blogging

It’s 3:02 am as I write this. And I can’t sleep. Not because something is wrong, but because I’m excited. Lord knows I NEED to sleep, because I have a rambunctious toddler that likes to stick her finger in electrical sockets O_O Plus, this online business to run tomorrow, but … I just can’t sleep! Exciting thoughts and ideas are whizzing through my head I’m starting a completely new business. A physical product business, which feels both exciting and slightly ridiculous, considering I…

A few years ago, there was a creator whose emails kept landing in my inbox, and I completely ignored them. He talked about solopreneurship, how to grow your income while staying small, without hiring a team. His whole thing is about trying not to scale too much, working, but not at the cost of freedom and flexibility. I’d occasionally open them every 2 months, but overall, I’d just delete them. I should have unsubscribed and saved us all time, but something about his emails… I dunno…….

I met a friend today for a walk. She said: “I still haven’t had time to set up a blog… but I really need to make extra money.” And honestly… That’s where most people get stuck. Not because they don’t want it, but it feels like too much to start. So I said something simple. Don’t start a blog. Write a newsletter. You can set the blog up later. Your newsletters can become your blog posts. (yeah, did you know that? Please take a look at my blog; you can see all my newsletters automatically…

Dear Reader, Today, I am going to share some great financial decisions I’ve made, some intentional, some by accident, in the hope that it can help you improve your finances, too! When you look online about making good financial decisions, people always talk about: automating your savings investing early putting your money into the right assets the power of compound interest yada yada yadaaaaa And yes… those things matter, but the reality is… All that stuff can be quite boring and unrelatable,…

I had already written the email, ‘Ai told me not to worry about Ai,’ but I decided not to send it, because I don’t want all the AI enthusiasts/evangelists to come after me. O_O I am definitely not anti-AI, in fact, I recently discovered an AI automation to say that’s going to save me 1 hour per day, so I love AI. Can’t wait to learn more about how it can save me more time! BUT I have some thoughts on HOW some people are talking about it… You can read about it here if you want 🙂 Anyway,…

Admin outsourcing sounds glamorous and efficient, but here’s the reality : I recently had to let someone in my team go I was very surprised by how it panned out tbh I spent hours training them, sending them training videos, voicenotes, lots of guidance, and support. When they made mistakes that negatively affected my bottom…

Before I begin, many of you voted in a poll that you wanted me to share: ‘ The biggest financial mistake I made in 2024.’ Without saying too much, now lawyers are involved, and we may be moving to litigation soon, so give me some time to let it play out. Once everything is done and dusted in the next 6 months, I will share if you are still here, reading these emails! If you want to vote to see the topics you are most interested in, check out this email below and vote; you still can! THE EMAIL…

I ran a poll on my Instagram, asking about the issue they most struggled with right now Top of the poll was: Feeling stuck and how to get unstuck? And honestly… I get it. I’ve been feeling stuck more days than I’d like to admit this year It’s super frustrating. I can only describe it like this : knowing what to do, but not doing it having too many ideas and doing none of them feeling tired and unmotivated comparing yourself to everyone else overthinking every next step feeling behind I’ve…

Last week’s email was a bit heavy. I shared the harder side of running an online business. You can read it here if you missed it And I know many of you are feeling something similar in your own work. Feeling stuck, tired, like your time isn’t fully your own. So this week, I wanted to share the other side. Before that, here’s a quick note from our sponsor today: Before I started blogging, I worked in a bank. And there’s something I still remember clearly. I used to see corporate managers, many…
