Video: The Hardest Lesson I Learnt

Hey boo boos,

Today I’m talking the hardest lesson I learnt in my biz!

I’ve spoken publicly about this before, but having a big team just isn’t for me.

Rightsizing your biz is SO important for not only the success of your business, but your mental health as well.

Sending you love, as always,

P.S. If you wanna check out the blog post I wrote about this, click HERE!

Video: Should You Have a Mailing List (Hint: YES)

Possums,

Yes. Yes yes yes.

A mailing list is your ultimate bestie.

Social media platforms rise and fall (how useful are your MySpace friends nows?) but email lists cultivate an ongoing, glorious connection.

Plus, they help you sell shit!

Make the moolah, possums.

Big love,

P.S. SMASH THE PATRIARCHY

Podcast: How I Read Up To 400 Books A Year

Darling hearts!

Today I’m talking books, books and all things books!

Specifically how I read so many books, how I track the books I read and how YOU can read even more books!

The 14 things I talk about are:

Set a goal
Read every book you have before you buy more
Make your reading goals public
Stop the “endless scroll” on social media apps
Layer your space with books in a variety of different mediums
Pass read books on to friends, family, clients and charities
A lock screen reminder: stop scrolling, read books
The more I read, the faster I get
Skim read books if they’re hard to read
If a book is shit, stop reading
I read in front of the television
Take up book baths (read the book, in the bath, until the book is finished. PHENOMENAL)
Read a variety of genres, and read more than one book at a time
Put your kids to bed earlier

To track read books:

Goodreads
Kindle folders
Draft blog post

Explicit AF

Just to reiterate: this is one sweary motherfucker of a podcast. So if you listen to it around kids… they will defo learn some new vocabulary from Aunty Leonie. MWHAHAHAHA. ENJOYYYYY!

BIPOC Scholarships!

Treasures!

Last month we offered FIFTY scholarships to Black, Indigenous and People of Colour to learn how to create their own eCourses.

We had WAAAAY more than fifty people apply, so we decided to give even more.

I am beyond thrilled we could give all 166 applicants a scholarship.

I cannot wait to see what they create!

Sending you all so much love,

Illustrated Notes: 35 Things to Do When Your Business is Slow

Lovely ones!

A couple of weeks back I did a podcast episode on 35 Things to Do When Your Business is slow!

Link is HERE for those who missed it!

If you know me, you know I LOOOOVE illustrated notes (I’m a visual person after all, give me ALL the colour and sparkles, the brighter that shit is the better), so I illustrated the 35 things and now I present them to you!

Save them to your phone, make them your computer wallpaper, print them out, laminate them and stick them to your shower wall. Whatever floats your boat.

There are always new things to be tried, tested and implemented!

What will you start with?

Big love,
