This week I'm on a 7-day "workcation" alone at the beach, just me, my projects & ideas, food, my laptop, and an unreasonable number of notebooks. Yesterday I arrived, grocery shopped, and got organized for my week. Today I got up bright and early for a beach walk and then got to work!

My first workcation was in 2015, I ran off to Saint Augustine for my first Massage and Spa Resource Bundle Sale. I made over $5,000 on that idea, it was my first "big" successful launch. In 2014 I made $900...

June was a busy month in my business and in life! I thought I would do a round-up post of my projects and activities, a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at this mom’s “Laptop Lifestyle”.

 Home & Health

 We finished up our homeschool year the first week in June and are just carrying on with math lessons any day we are home and 30 minutes a day of reading. I do a weekly “homeschool trade” with another mom and we decided to keep our schedule so I have...

Writing a book can be transformative on so many levels! I know for myself I gained confidence, new opportunities, and new clients and students.

Writing a book is a journey that very few people ever attempt, in fact, 97% of people who start a book don't finish it and .0086% of people have a published book. 

 Creating and publishing a book is a big project, I won't lie, but it's doable and if I can do it I honestly feel like anyone can. A few years ago I didn't even think that I...

I've been creating and selling online since 2014, and I've tried a LOT of different strategies and tools. Any online venture, in my opinion, needs at least the following structures in place:

• A basic website with a blog
• A way to accept payments
• A way for people to join your email list
• Content delivery/hosting

These can be done in a variety of creative ways. I've used Weebly for websites, simple PayPal buttons (or links) and ejunkie for payments, Mailchimp, Ontraport, Active Campaign, and...

I've used Facebook ads (along with other marketing strategies) for the past 6 years to grow my online business Massage and Spa Success. For this year (2021) I've decided to take a break for financial reasons and to get myself out of my comfort zone with marketing.

I don't think it's a wise business decision to put all your eggs in one basket, especially an expensive one! Check out the first post in this series here 

It's February 22, and I thought I would update you on what I have...

Today I wanted to share with you some things that I have learned over the past seven years about the online course creation industry and online business industry in general.

I think that there is a ton of opportunity online and that anybody who decides to and wants to create more income streams for their business. I also think there's a lot of smoke and mirrors out there. There are big claims and things that I see all the time, like this “million-dollar” claim. I see repeatedly in...

I understand how you are feeling right now... You are SO READY for your life to change, to grow, to expand, but it all seems "out there" and impossible. Who are you to ask for more anyway? More money each month would make things so much easier, more fun, more time with your family, more saving and security, and LESS stress.

I know you see people everywhere, writing, creating, selling online and you wonder if it's real, and could you do that too? Could you actually just start a business just...

I'm excited to share that my podcast has a new name a new look and a new episode!

Join Lilli Badcock of lillibadcock.com and Gael Wood of elevatewithgael.com for an honest look at online business "smoke and mirrors" marketing, investing in yourself, and believing in yourself.

I had so much fun talking with Lilli about all of the options out there and some of our wins, failures, and reasons to invest in learning and using discernment when deciding why and who to invest...

Picture it: the mountains of North Carolina, 2013 an overworked mom and massage therapist is ready to change her life, and she buys a planner…

 That’s how my career as an online entrepreneur began. As I worked through the planner, I began to feel that my life could be more, that I could do something different, have more time with my family, and maybe even make some money online! 

I had a vague idea of sharing what I had learned in my then 18 years as a massage therapist...
