Happy Tuesday!
It’s shaping up to be a gorgeous spring day here in Central Ontario.
I’m loving having the windows open and airing this place out after being closed up all winter! I’m starting to anxiously watch my email too for newsletters from the golf course with opening dates for the driving range and the course! Due to budget constraints this year, I probably won’t get in nearly as much golfing as the past few summers, but I’m planning for at least a couple of good outings.
Coloring Patterns Monthly is Live!
The big news around here this week is that I officially relaunched the Coloring Patterns Monthly 2.0 membership yesterday. For only $9 a month you are getting:

- 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:

Today’s Read: 5 Small Daily Actions That Make a Difference
It’s often said that taking small daily actions is the way to experience success in anything you want to do. This is very true for many aspects of life, including your business. The actions that get results are consistent, directly affect your income, and provide value to your audience. Doing the right things each day pays off in more than one way.
Here are 5 small daily actions to consider:
1. Don’t make things harder than they have to be.
Here’s a secret (it took me 20 years to learn this): making money is not complicated. Almost anyone can do it. But many of us – me included – make the whole process harder that it has to be. Even though it’s nice having awesome technology to help you get things done, it’s not required. The essence of making money online is simple: put up your buy buttons and tell people where to find them.

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.
