Happy Wednesday!
It’s been a busy week in our world of low-content publishing and online business building. There are so many daily deals going on this month that I’m having trouble keeping up. So perhaps it’s a bit hypocritical of me, but I’m doing a 9 Days of $9 Deals starting next Wednesday, December 14. Each day one product will be on sale for $9 and then go to its regular price the next day. There will also be a bundle option if you want to grab all 9 deals at once. And I can tell you that as of right now, 8 of the 9 are brand new products that have never been seen before.
I’ll be spending the next couple of days building out all the pages and promo graphics for everything, and I can’t tell you how happy I am that Thrive Architect makes it easy to create templates to work from.
So between that, and 5 live calls in the next two weeks it’s going to be super busy here before Christmas!
And speaking of calls, this afternoon we had our Coloring Patterns Monthly members call. I love these calls because depending on the type of questions that get asked, we can go down some fun rabbit holes and talk about all kinds of things. I’ll have the replay up tomorrow for you if you missed it. And if you’re not a member and want to be, you can sign up here: Coloring Patterns Monthly
Today’s Read: Why Income Goals Aren’t Everything
It’s important to set income goals for your business, because you have to have targets in mind to know where you’re going. But it is so easy to get carried away with creating your business plan when building a lifestyle-focused business. Sometimes it feels like making money is supposed to be the only goal for your business. However, when you design your lifestyle business, you are trying to create a better life for yourself where life comes first and your business fits in as just one part.
The whole point of a lifestyle business is that you give yourself the freedom to work when you want to, fitting it in around the life moments and experiences that are important to you and your family.
Yes, money helps you build the lifestyle, but the lifestyle is more about experiences than it is about money. But the fact is, money makes everything better, so of course you should design your business so that you earn enough money to live the lifestyle of your dreams. But income goals aren’t everything.
And now, here are your deals for today…

That’s it for me today. It’s getting late here, but I’m going to try and get a head start on my slides for Friday’s Affiliate Marketing Workshop. I got behind because Shaun was going to install some new monitor arms on my desk so that I could get the monitors off the actual desktop, but alas, the motor on my desk seems to have burnt out or something. So we’re leaving it as it is for now.
Have an amazing day! Create what makes your heart happy.
