Newsletter 20th March 2023: Hustle free 🥰 & good things starting and ending today

by | Newsletters

Hi

If you have a business, you’ll see messages everywhere urging you to grow.

And growth is good but there’s a toxic hustle culture around online that is far from healthy.

It seems that if you have a product releasing every month, you should be thinking about growing that to two.

And diversifying your income so you have courses and planners, journals and books, coaching programs and coloring pages and who knows what coming out, product after product.

That you promote using every channel available.

Even if you’re exhausted.

Sometimes, those hustle messages get to me too.

And make me think I should be doing more.

More products. More bundles. More summits. Start a new channel! Write another book!

But mostly I just smile and let others get on with it because I do well enough without all of it and I’m happier for that.

If you’re feeling swamped by messages from other marketers who are always producing something else, don’t let them make you feel like you should be doing more.

You might make more money if you do.

On the other hand, if you focus on quality rather than quantity, and do one thing at a time, one step at a time, it will often get you further faster anyway.

The trick is deciding how much “enough” is for you and being happy when you get there.

Those who are always wanting more are never happy with what they have and that’s very sad.

You only have one life – don’t spend it in a constant state of stress and hustle for more.  💖

***

I feel like we need a new soothing Alfie picture at this point so here you go.

His “enough” is three meals a day, two walks, and plenty of hugs. 🥰

NEW BONUS REPORT! 10 WAYS TO BEAT AI CONTENT

Ai content with shadow

I created this new bonus  report “10 ways to get miles ahead of those who rely too much on AI content” because I think there’s a balance missing with ChatGPT and AI (artificial intelligence) in general.

Some people are treating it as if it’s the best thing since sliced bread and selling endless courses on getting it to do all of the work.

Others are treating it like the devil itself and don’t want to go near it, as if it’s somehow “cheating” to use any kind of tool to make our lives easier (well that would be goodbye to the car, dishwasher, calculator and the computer or smartphone you’re reading this on then!)

Anyway, this report is now one of the choices in the list at the end of this newsletter that you can select when you buy a qualifying product through my link. Use it to create your own strategy for beating the robots.

START NOW! GET COACHED TO CREATE AND SELL EVERY DAY

This is an awesome beta opportunity from my coach Naima who has hands-down been a huge factor in how my business has grown over the past few years.

She is offering coaching for three months to get you to (and over!) the finish line with your course (both creating AND selling what you created!), a process that you can then repeat over and over.

I’ve talked quite a lot about Naima in the past, but don’t just take my word for how good this lady is.

Yesterday I received an email from Rose (shared with permission) which made me happy.

“Jan, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!!

I always find value in what you share but I’m especially thankful for your recommendation of Naima’s CCC program… that is proving to be just the help I need.

If she charged ten times as much she’d still be over delivering. I would have never found her without your help. I can’t thank you enough.”

If you want to create and sell courses, grab Naima’s offer with both hands, because I’m pretty sure it’s the best value coaching you’ll ever get.

Not to mention the best and easiest way to succeed with your course creation business. 😊

Take a look at Naima’s offer here: https://simplehappiness.biz/naima-create-and-sell-everyday (Split pay available on the cart page if you need it!)  

My bonus: I almost feel like I shouldn’t offer one here, because the value of the program is so high and the cost for a program like this so affordable, but I hate to disappoint. 🤣 So if you sign up for the program through my link, let me know by sending your receipt to [email protected] and you can choose any three of the bonus reports in the list at the end of this email. 💖💖💖
