Happy Monday! And Happy First Day of Spring!
The sun is shining here, and it’s looking like a gorgeous day outside. I woke up late this morning (like 10 a.m. late), but I’m going to power through as much work as I can in the next couple of hours so that I can get outside for a walk.
I’ve been ordered by my nurse practitioner to exercise more or face the consequences! So my plan for that is to do an exercise video in the morning, and go for a walk in the afternoons. My favourite videos are the senior-oriented ones from Better5.com, but I’ve also been collecting others on YouTube as well so that I have choices.
I have a few bits of housekeeping things for you before we get to the good stuff this morning…
First, my triggers in the “Choose Your Newsletters” section yesterday didn’t work properly. And so it made it seem like no one chose either of the new newsletters. But when I looked through the actual links clicked, it showed several clicks on each one. So, I’ve manually added the tags for your choices, but the trigger not working means I’ll have to go in and also remove any of the old newsletter tags manually. That might take awhile, so if you get two newsletters I’ll apologize in advance, and please know I am working as quickly as I can to get this cleaned up. The good news is, it was easy to fix the problem, so I’ve included that section at the end of this issue again in case you didn’t get a chance to choose yet.
Second, I’m still working on hooking up Thrive Apprentice with Amember so that I can get the membership going again. If it’s not as easy to hook up as I remember it being the last time, I’ll have to go with a different system that does integrate with Apprentice. I’ll be emailing all current (at closing) members this afternoon with details on the new look and details on how to join again.
I think that was it for housekeeping stuff this morning. Now, on to todays goodies…
Today’s Read: 4 Reasons Why You Should Implement as You Learn
When you implement as you learn, you don’t give the courses you purchase time to gather digital dust.
We’ve talked before about using the courses and bundles you buy when you get them, and how important it is not to let them gather digital dust.
But there’s another kind of dust that can gather when it comes to using what you buy. And that’s in the implementation of what you’re learning. If you spend all of your time learning and none of it actually doing what you learn, you’re filling your brain with what I’m going to call “mental dust” and that can lead to feelings of overwhelm and frustration.
Here’s the thing… whether you learn best by seeing, hearing, or touching new material, there are universal practices that help all of us absorb material and benefit from it right away. Acting on what you learn and using the material in practical ways helps your brain internalize the content. If you apply this to the courses you buy and take for your business, implementing it as quickly as possible makes it easier to connect the content to your business and make it work for you.
Here are 4 reasons why you might want to implement as you learn:

Spring Into Action Giveaway On Now!
Can you believe that the first quarter of 2023 is almost over? And today’s the first day of Spring already?
I don’t know about you, but I always feel like the end of the 1st quarter can leaves me feeling a bit in a slump. It’s like we just busted our butts to hit goals and maybe went a little overboard on the list of expectations and time needed. (I tend to do that a lot!)
Every quarter is a chance to evaluate what worked well and figure out next steps. But Spring always brings new energy with it as the sun shines more here in the northern hemisphere. I know I woke up this morning feeling all the new energy around me!
My good friend Val wants to make sure we all start off the 2nd quarter in a big, but realistic way so she reached out coaches and product creators and put together the Spring Into Action Giveaway. The goal of the giveaway is to use the energy of the new season to keep your business creativity going.
There are over $1500 in trainings and products to choose from, and you can pick them all up for free from today through March 24. Check it out and grab the ones you need for your business before the go back up to full price!
