Let’s talk about how to use the Bullet Journaling system as a planning method to keep your business productivity high!
As any business owner knows, on a daily basis you can be hit with a multitude of tasks and information coming in from a variety of sources like your email, customers, employees, and even your own mind.
Add to that launches, promotions, and all that content creation…and you’ve got a recipe for entrepreneurial meltdown.
Want to avoid that meltdown?
So, one of the most important things a business owner can establish for themselves and their business is a system of organization to capture, process and execute on their daily tasks and incoming information. There are a lot of systems out there, some for those who prefer digital methods, and others for those who prefer analog pen and paper. Few systems, however, can bridge that gap, give you the flexibility to capture a variety of information in an organized way, and help you really get those important big picture items for your business done the way the bullet journal method can.

Shouldn’t come as a shocker here…
Most people have at least one thing that stops or delays them from doing what they really want.
When it comes to launching, the blocks can crop up the second we get an idea for a product, when we finish a product, when we talk to someone about it, and pretty much every single step up to and through the launch process.
I invited my friend Denise Duffield Thomas to have a conversation about these blocks, because she’s in the middle of her own launch right now for her long-running Money Bootcamp.
If you suspect you have some blocks holding you back from launching, today’s episode is for you.
Not sure? Delay and procrastination are huge signs of blocks. So get yourself over to our conversation.

You’ve got this launching thing down.
You did your first product launch – not a lot of sales, but your list grew, you’re getting rave reviews about your program. You done good.
You are excited – a little pumped – and extremely proud of yourself. You feel like finallyyyy “you get it”.
But you’re feeling something else too.
EXHAUSTED.
You keep thinking, “I’m supposed to do this again?”
How are you supposed to turn back around and do another one? I mean really?
Another one? This year?
The emotional rocking that happens during a launch can’t really be understood until you go through it. Putting yourself out there, putting your energy into a launch, being open to that success or failure. It’s draining on so many levels.
And – if it’s draining for you – it’s draining for your customers too.
But you can avoid launch exhaustion easily.
With what I like to call – A PLAN. (shocker, I know!)

Zach Spuckler and I start talking about launching without email and spend most of our time talking about the importance of selling through connection.
As you listen to today’s insightful interview, you’re not going to hear some fancy schmancy new tactic that you’ve never heard before or a super juicy “I’ve never heard that”...and that’s what makes our conversation so important.
We talk about:
In this episode, we speak to Fearless Launching scholarship winner Vanessa Chase about how she applied the simple, back to basics lessons in Fearless Launching to her own launch and managed to triple her launch goals!
The one thing she attributes to the success is really something she tells her own students to do, so knowing this, she dove in, did the work, and was able to surpass her modest goals for the launch.

You know me - I love pulling back the curtain, not just after a project or launch is finished, but literally as I’m doing something, testing something. Breaking down the how-to do it is what I do best.
So, today, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own Instagram challenge, but decided I’d also help you create your plan for doing your own challenge.
Here’s what we cover:
The benefits to your business and your next launch of doing a challenge
All the different formats you can use to run your challenges
Why you can use a free challenge or event as your practice launch
Your before, during and after checklist
Ways to keep the whole production as low tech as possible
How and when to make an offer during a challenge
I go through a LOT in this episode and I think I may have literally sped through it quickly, so I’ve made a quick cheatsheet where I’ve even included a checklist of all the pieces I’ve created for my Instagram challenge. Use it as a starting point for your own online event.

If you’re building an online business, then you’ve likely seen or heard that upgrading to an email marketing provider or system is a must in order start making the big bucks.
Who knows why people actually believe that, but there are some really good reasons why you might want to switch to a more customizable marketing system.
But before we talk about my switch to Infusionsoft about 2 years ago, I want to make sure you know my stance on upgrading tools...
They are often not necessary or critical until they no longer work. I never suggest an upgrade or a tool/system change unless it’s going to revolutionize or fix a part of the business. And I definitely say no to upgrades that require you to move your entire list or marketing funnel right before a launch.
So knowing this, you may think my move to Infusionsoft was unnecessary, but the change falls under the “this revolutionized” my workflow and productivity. Plus, I did it at a time when a launch wasn’t imminent.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What led to my decision to switch email marketing providers
Why Aweber no longer worked for me
The main reasons I knew Infusionsoft was right for me

It’s the end of the year and you may be making big plans for the new one.
And while I’m a huge fan of planning big things, pushing yourself to reach goals, launching the ideas that you’ve been sitting on for too long...I’m also curious…
And I like to be a detective in my business...especially when I’m planning.
I like to ask - What worked last year? And if it worked...can I do it again?
Today’s episode we dive into that topic and more.
So - if you’re about to create your own marketing calendar for the new year, this one’s perfect for you.
Today’s episode features Erin Stutland. I worked with Erin on her first launch of the Shrink Session workout and since then the program has grown like crazyyyyy.
I pulled Erin into the launch lair to talk about her recent amazingness launch for Shrink Session and the free challenge that blew the roof off the launch...but what we ended up talking about was how Erin’s launched other programs, changed her business over time.
We talk fear, fun, and crushing it. Enjoy and make sure to leave her a comment below!
