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...

What have I been doing for the past four months? ‍ I was just asked this by someone who apparently was amazed that I haven't decluttered, so let's see...

• I homeschooled a 12-year-old boy
  I moved my office back home because of the homeschool/pandemic situation
  I pivoted and created loads of new content for my Content Club members relevant to the current events, marketing content, blogs, live streams, taking your business online webinar, and more.

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...

In 2021 I'm focusing on building my businesses and income streams WITHOUT Facebook ads, I'll be blogging and making videos along the way sharing my progress and what I'm learning. Updating titles, descriptions, and links on 57 YouTube videos took a full day, but I'm already seeing an increase in views!

The reason I've decided to stop (or take a one year break) is that :

1. Facebook ads just keep getting more expensive, and since I want to keep my prices very reasonable and help as many people...

Last fall I tackled my son's room, it was out of control, and I thought he needed an update to more of a big kid room. I had three days, and a limited budget but I am so pleased with the results!

2020 has been a different year for sure, but it has given me so many gifts, learnings, and opportunities. I’m going to share with you the 20 things I’m most grateful for this year :) Here’s the first ten:

 1. I stepped up and asked for more help. I knew that I wanted to start a second business and that it takes time, effort, and work to do so. I was also hiring a business coach and needed a regular day to meet with her later in the day (Daphne Wells she’s in New...
