Hi lovebug,

We’re in the second half of the year and I have one question for you:

Are you where you thought you would be when you set your resolutions for the year?

My resolution - well, I don’t do resolutions - the word that’s been my guiding star for the year is CONSISTENT. 

And boy howdy, I’ve had lots of opportunities to see where I’m consistent and where I’m not yet. 

Areas where I’m doing pretty well: I show up every day to meditate. I’m there for my clients with my full attention both online and offline. I show up religiously for you with these newsletters every Monday and Thursday. I show up for my family and friends when they need support. I show up for my volunteering commitment every Thursday. I show up to walk my sweet pup, Mabel, three times a day. I do a good job sleeping 8-9 hours every night. 

Areas that need improvement: Showing up on Instagram every day. Making my bed and keeping my home clutter free. Getting to the gym regularly. Eating less sugar. Having more fun and leisure time. Tracking my financial numbers for my personal and business life. Prioritizing my own visions and goals. 

One of the things that I realized in looking at where I’m consistent and where I’m not, is that I have systems for the areas where I’m doing well. And when I have a system or structure for a habit, and I’ve figured out how to fit it into my lifestyle, lo and behold, it’s much easier for me to be consistent.

Now, you have to do the reps on your goal every day but ALSO, systems and structures can make that so much easier. 

So! I thought I’d share some of the systems I use to help make my life easier, happier, and more prosperous. 

Full disclosure: I’m an affiliate for these systems and structures so I will get an affiliate fee if you sign up, but I’m only sharing the systems that I use and that have been of great benefit in my life.

The Emotion Code® training. I’d been trained in two other energy work programs before I became certified in the The Emotion Code®. I can say that, hands down, this modality has changed my life, my business, and the lives of the hundreds of people I’ve helped through these sessions. Learning a process that 1) worked well 2) worked fast 3) provided lasting results totally buoyed my business income and provided structure for my healing sessions. I’ve had a handful of folks go through the training after working with me because they also saw how dramatically it altered their life. I highly recommend going through this training if you’re a healer, therapist, social worker and you’re looking for a new modality to add to your practice. You can also do the training (it’s self-paced) if you want to work on yourself and family members. I’ve had former clients do both and they all had incredible experiences with the training and their sessions after. Check it out here. (*Note I only have experience with the Emotion Code®, none of the other training.)

The Kajabi business platform. I’m going to be 100% real with you here: this platform is best if your business is already making money, if you’re pretty tech savvy OR if you have an assistant (like I do) who knows their way around Kajabi. BUT - if you have all those, Kajabi is a fantastic tool. I use this platform for my websites, all my landing pages, all my courses, all my course communities, checkout pages, client package session management, emails management, newsletters and there are so many more features I don’t use yet. If you’ve got a bunch of different systems for your business that don’t play well together, Kajabi could be an excellent next step for you. Plus, when you use my link, you’ll get your first month free. Win. 🙂

Gusto for payroll and tax reporting. OMG. Gusto is an online platform that I WISH I’d learned about years before I did. I am not what they call a “details person” and it turns out the tax authorities really prefer “details people” when it comes to all their (deleted expletive) forms. The county where I live also happens to have one of the highest tax burdens for small businesses and so, not surprisingly, life is a lot easier when you get all of your tax reporting right. Gusto has made my life 8 MILLION TIMES easier when it comes to county and state and federal taxes. 8 MILLION TIMES. Mostly because I know that all of my tax forms are being handled, my payroll (because I need to pay myself via payroll since I’m an S corp) means that I’m doing all the little details to make the detail-loving-tax people happy. In short, Gusto is helping me grow as a person and waste less time in exasperated conversations on the phone with humorless IRS personnel. You should try it. You’ll even get $100 for signing up when you use my link. 

Reel Saloon for instagram. I would be lying if I told you I loved social media. HOWEVER, social media is an incredible way to reach people all over the world with the services or products you offer—and babe—it’s free marketing. There’s been no time in history when the playing field was this level for all of us. You can start your own business and reach people in Dubai, Auckland, Oklahoma City and Anchorage all in one day by posting on social media. Instagram is also famously known for helping small businesses blow up, change their financial lives and make a big impact in the process. But you need to know what you're doing. Reel Saloon is a digital product I invested in back in January and it totally kickstarted my growth. It helped me get an idea of what to do when. It helped me to create far more posts (with my actual face in the video) than I had, total, in the six years prior. And I’ve doubled my following and gained a number of new clients in a short time. Now, have I given it my full attention? I have not. (I’m working on it!) But if you need a kick in the pants to just GET GOING, this product really helped me. Use my link to get started. 

If you have any questions about any of these systems, email me. I’m happy to help. All of these systems have been a win win for me and I hope they’ll be a win win for you too. 

Big hugs,
