Newsletter 23rd February 2022: Quit while you’re ahead (really!) and two shiny new things

by | Newsletters

Hi

When you’re doing tough tasks, you’ll have moments when you’re stuck and you have no clue what to do. ☹️

Don’t just throw your hands up and bury your head in a box of chocolates.

Tricky moments are the worst time to stop and take a break.

Because it will be so much harder to start again.

Just give yourself a couple of minutes.

And use my “before I quit this sticky problem” strategy. 🤣

1. I tell myself there’s a solution out there and that I just have to find it.

2. I remind myself I can Google it and that Google has all the answers if I ask the question in the right way. (But I don’t do the asking at that point)

3. I think of who has resolved this problem, meaning if they can do it, I can too.

4. I promise myself, If I can’t find the solution, I’ll find an alternative.

Then, I take a break, and get some perspective away from the computer.

To be honest, it doesn’t mean I always find a solution when I get back to work (I have no superpowers!)

But it’s much, much easier to start again after a rest without the idea running through my head that I’m stuck.

I used a similar technique when I was writing fiction so it was easier to get going again. The advice then was to stop in the middle of an exciting sentence. (I could never quite do that but I never stopped at the end of a dull paragraph🤣)

NEW : STORY SELLING MADE EASY

If you think your emails, blog posts, and sales pages are boring or you’re worried you sound like you had a personality bypass, you’re probably being overly harsh in the way you judge your words.

But it never hurts to make your copy more fun to read, and one solution is to weave simple stories and anecdotes into everything you write.

We all love stories. It’s an inbuilt human trait. And you don’t need to write a lot. All it takes is a few sentences to put more life into your words.

Learn exactly how to do that with Karon’s new course: Storytelling that Sells

Storytelling that sells

Get it with $60 off during launch (until the 27th) with COUPON CODE: STORYTELLING

Six modules to cover everything you need to master this technique with lots of examples and…stories!

This is right up my street!

What to wear PLR

You may not know but my best ever selling book on KDP was in the fashion niche. I’ve since completely updated it and turned it into a course. (If you’re interested in a coupon for that see the PS below)

Anyway, Michelle’s planner is perfect for planning your wardrobe and outfits for each season and is massive at 42 pages in two sizes.

As you get commercial rights to this, you can also brand and edit it as you wish.

Multiply what you have!

Those of us who attended the first Stock your Shop workshop were bowled over by Ruthie’s creativity so I expect this session to be just as awesome!

The cost to attend live is $27.

Ruthie will use items from Amy’s Positivity product to demo her ideas, but even if you don’t have that and don’t want to get it (it’s still available here) you should learn a lot from Stock Your Shop #2.
