Monday Motivation - I recognize every moment as a chance to be intentional with my time, energy, and attention.
Happy Monday Reader!
We're wrapping up the first month of 2024 this week!
Make sure you take time to reflect on how it's gone for you. Be honest with yourself, but not overly strict--it's just as important to recognize and celebrate our achievements (no matter how small) as it is to acknowledge where we fell short of our intentions.
For me, I've done a great job of following through on my quarterly goal of posting every day on social media. But I haven't done a good job of reviewing the metrics to see what's working best and do more of it. So that's one place I can improve next month. (And you can help hold me accountable! ;) )
You know I love finding ways to work smarter not harder, and taking time to review our work helps that. It allows us to use the Pareto Principal, or the 80/20 rule, which says 80% of our results come from 20% of our efforts.
So review your goals and find where things are already working, and make a plan to do more of it in February!
Today's affirmation will help us make those effective actions more of our focus. We repeat to ourselves 21x every day this week:
"I recognize every moment as a chance to be intentional with my time, energy, and attention."

Any monkey with a laptop & internet connection can start a business these days. But staying in business? That requires mastering sales & marketing...which a lot of us struggle with!
In this video I discuss my top tips & tools to save time when marketing your business!
As always, affirmations work best when you truly believe them. They need to resonate with you and feel achievable. So feel free to modify any I suggest, or develop entirely new ones!
Say them as long as you want. I'm sharing a new affirmation each week, but that doesn't mean you have to switch it up each week unless it feels right. You can add new ones as often as you want and have as many as you want. You can say a different affirmation every day, or at different times of the day. You choose!
I'd love to hear the impact it has! (But if you decide affirmations are not for you, click here to be removed from this weekly email.)
I hope this affirmation sets you up for a kick ass week and I'll see you next Monday for a new one to try!

Happy Monday Reader! I believe in giving everyone and every experience the benefit of the doubt. I'm willing to try pretty much any food or activity once to see how it goes, so why wouldn't I do the same for people? And like my favorite rule of thumb about when something's a problem ("Once is an accident, twice is a trend, and 3 times is a pattern.") I will always, always, give something a second chance. But once a pattern starts to show up, or once someone has treated me or my loved ones...
Happy Monday Reader! I'm proud to share that I followed through on last week's plan to show my face more in my marketing content! Batching content is a great way to be more efficient as a business owner, so I used that strategy to record & create a half dozen videos last week, which I can now use for a wide range of content! I set aside a chunk of time to record videos, made notes on topics and key points I wanted to mention, and even planned costume changes. I fixed my hair and put on some...
Happy Monday Reader! We interrupt this regularly scheduled broadcast to bring you an important request. I could really use your help to grow my business! You've been here a while, so you know I'm passionate about helping people understand themselves, value themselves & their time, and protect their time. I'm happy to talk about this stuff all the time, for free. But unfortunately, we live under capitalism and I have to keep my freeloader cat in treats and kibbles. And that's NOT free! Said...
