Happy Thursday!
The sun is shining and it’s a gorgeous spring day here in Central Ontario. But looks can be deceiving. I got ready to open the windows this morning, only to find them frozen shut because it was -13C outside! I guess winter isn’t quite done with us yet.
Here’s what I have for you today…
Coloring Patterns Monthly is Live!

- 30 coloring patterns (up from 25)
- A monthly pre-recorded training on different ways to use the patterns, create products, and grow your business.

Today’s Read: 7 Steps for Creating an Action Plan

And it’s even easier to become frustrated when you’re not making the progress you think you should be. I’ve been there, and it’s not fun.

At its simplest, an action plan ensures that you know exactly what to do, so you have less opportunity to become overwhelmed or frustrated if things aren’t moving as quickly as you think they should. It also gives you a roadmap of exactly what to do next.
Here are 7 steps for creating a simple action plan:
