Last Day for Pretty Spreadsheets and the Rest of Your Sunday Roundup

Happy Sunday!

I’m feeling very relaxed this morning after my intentional lazy day yesterday. I even slept in this morning until 8:30 and that almost never happens! So I’m ready to get into things today, and really get my plans for Q2 solidified.

One of the things I’ll be focusing on for the next 3 months is growing the membership. I quietly launched the new and improved Coloring Patterns Monthly 2.0 on Friday, just to the members that were with me when the original version closed. And at the time I thought I’d open the doors to everyone tomorrow, but I’m so excited about the new additions, that I can’t wait to tell you. So, since you’re here, let me share what’s new and improved about this version. For only $9 a month you are getting:

30 coloring patterns (up from 25)
A monthly pre-recorded training on different ways to use the patterns, create products, and grow your business.
A brand new members only community where you can ask questions and get feedback.
A monthly challenge
A members only coupon for 30% off anything else in my shop

I have other items in the works to add as well, but they’re not completely fleshed out in my mind yet so I’m not quite ready to list them here yet.

If you want to check out the membership and see the first month’s patterns, you can do that here:

Coloring Patterns Monthly 2.0

So, that’s what I’ve been working on for the past week.

Here’s all the other stuff I’ve been keeping my eye on for you…

Top Picks This Week

Ends Tonight!! Pick #1 – Pretty Spreadsheets for Profit from Mitzy is top pick again today, and she also got awarded Deal of the Day on Warrior Plus!

It’s on sale through Sunday, March 26 for only $29. I’ve listened to the first 3 modules so far (I got it as a bonus for a previous purchase) and I love that she’s come at the whole spreadsheet trend from both a design and a usability perspective. I like that she focuses the training around Google Sheets too, so you don’t need to pay for software to create them, and your customers don’t need to pay for software to use them.

The course includes:

-12 Comprehensive Learning Modules (teaching you how to create stunning spreadsheets)
-8 Over-the-shoulder Videos showing you an implementation for creating a pretty spreadsheet from scratch
-Tips and tricks through the course to show you how to create spreadsheets easily even if you’re a complete beginner
-A unique Cheat Sheet giving you 30 ideas for spreadsheets in non-financial niches (to make it even easier)
-Bonus Module – Teaching you advanced techniques for incorporating data visualization tools such as charts and graphs

Pick #2 – Simple Content Funnels That Sell from Karon Thackston is my top pick for today. It’s on sale for $29 (reg. $47) through Tuesday, March 28. No coupon required.

The content covers:

What Are Simple Content Funnels & Why They Work – Most people think of opt-in funnels with a freebie and follow up emails. That’s certainly one way to do it but there are many other ways that are frankly much easier.
Simple Content Funnel Examples – You’ll get inspiration and ideas from these real-life examples that people are earning from right now.
Choosing Your Content – You can always start from scratch, but why? If you already have existing content, I’ll show you how to use that to create all the content you need for your funnels fast!
Pick Your Channels –This step is as flexible as your imagination and can incorporate whichever channels you are already on or want to be on (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, blogs, email, podcasts, etc.).
Set Your Funnels in Motion – You’ll use the logical flow of your funnels to kick off the process that will attract buyers on autopilot and produce passive income for you 24/7.

I’ve been thinking about funnels a lot lately, and how I can incorporate them into my new site. So, I’m really glad to see this training from Karon on creating simple content-based funnels to boost sales. I’ll be picking this up for myself so I can see what she’s doing.

Ends Tonight!! Pick #3 – Simple Systems Toolkit Collection from Cindy Bidar is my top pick for today. She’s taken six of her bestselling toolkits and bundled them all together in one package with an 83% discount. That’s 6 full toolkits for the price of one! You get:

44 complete, done-for-you workflow checklists to quickly and easily document your systems and processes and train your team.
8 useful resource checklists to finally put an end to your decision-making frustrations. If you’ve ever wanted to “pick my brain” about the tools to use, these checklists are the answer.
10 idea-generating checklists so you will never again have to ask, “What should I do next?”
18 fill-in-the-blank worksheets to help you make decisions, design offers, and more.
8 pre-written email templates so you won’t waste time wondering how to approach other business owners, how to onboard new members, or how to save the sale.
4 additional trackers, calculators, and even a Trello board template to make managing everything a breeze.
The Easy SOP Workshop replay to help you get and stay organized in your business.

Pick #4 – Cute Habit Tracker Spreadsheets from Jan are available and on sale through Sunday, April 2. This Excel spreadsheet allows users to track their habits for 7, 30, or 100 days. As they check off each day, another portion of a cute puppy or kitten image will be revealed. Gradually, the whole image will be shown with a “well done” message. (Tip: Change out the pictures to something more relatable to your niche to differentiate yourself.)

Pick #5 – Overcoming Procrastination Report & Planner Pack from Trish at Publish for Prosperity is definitely on my list of faves for this week since I’ve been blogging about procrastination and working on defeating my own procrastinating tendencies.

This report and planner pack includes:

Overcoming Procrastination Report
5 “Overcoming Procrastination” Articles
“My Progress Planner” Editable 90-Day Planner
2 Sets of Professionally Designed eCover Graphics
Lead-Generating Opt-in Page

The AI Success Club from Denise Wakeman and Andy O’Bryan is my one of my top picks right now, because I’m all about learning how to use ChatGPT to my best advantage. With all the noise out there around it, I don’t know about you, but I find it really overwhelming to the point where I didn’t even want anything to do with it. And I think now, with the release of GPT-4 it’s only going to get worse. Check it out here and choose either the monthly or annual option.

Leonie Dawson’s Brilliant Biz and Life Academy is closing to new members at the end of March. This is where you get all of her courses and trainings, live calls every month, printable versions of her bestselling workbooks, and other goodies for only $99 a year. And no, that’s not a misprint.

She’s also added a series of 12 Expert workshops that you’ll get over the course of the next 12 months, and I’m really looking forward to these!

I’m a member and I love her straight talking style. I feel like she’s talking directly to me when I’m listening to a podcast or video. But I will be the first to admit her style is not for everyone – like, if you are easily offended by strong language, then it’s definitely not for you.
