Care is a 4-letter word. So is help.

Caregiving isn’t only about what we do for each other in times of crisis. It’s not only needed when there’s a diagnosis.It’s what we need to rise, together.

White Men

Instead of trying to convince people that racism and sexism exist, let’s document, discuss and confront privilege. It’s uncomfortable but it provokes change.

Women are jealous, women pull up the ladder. Lies.

Women are jealous? Women pull up the ladder? Balderdash. Nearly every one of my accomplishments can be traced back to the women in my life.

Don’t (Just) Unfriend Them

Preaching to the converted is pleasant but unproductive. In the name of justice, in the name of love, keep talking with people who are getting it wrong.

Every week, I send you a

Sunday Love Letter

I write them so that…

  1. You remember your life-changing, culture-making power
  2. You have the inspiration + tools you need to bring something new to the world
Are you in?

You think you lack the time to create your course, but it’s really a money problem. 

You can’t take time away from your paid work to develop the course that would boost your income so you continue not making enough $$$ to take time to create... 

And ‘round and ‘round we go.

Back when I was working 7 days a week doing 1:1, I heard a famously rich entrepreneur explain how she did it: she took 8 weeks off her business to create her signature course.

The feeling I had? It was like when I was 36, having an identity crisis, and read Eat Pray Love. With 2 babies & no money for a year-long trip to countries starting with an "I", clearly massive life-change was not an option for me.

Ditto that course creation model. Utterly unattainable.

But I’m a rebel and I don’t take no for an answer from the system, the universe, my bank balance or my calendar.

So I developed three ways to build the transformational, money-making courses of my dreams WITHOUT taking an income hit I couldn’t afford to take.

I used it back then to escape the double bind/vicious cycle of no money/no time to create and I still use it to this day. 

(And that’s why I now have money AND time.)

In addition to making it possible to create courses without risking your rent, this method provides built-in, can’t fail accountability so you finish it sooner rather than later.

 **I have ADHD; I need this kind of healthy structure in my life or I will work endlessly on perfecting it or avoiding it instead of LAUNCHING IT**

I call my method *The Time-Bending, Get-Paid-To-Create, 3-Way Course Builder*.

BONUS: it works for workshops, trust offers, freebies, mid-ticket programs, high-ticket programs, and tiny-bite courses too. It doesn’t have to be THE SIGNATURE COURSE. But it can be 🙂

This is the method I teach in GOLDMINE, my 9-lesson program with 4 monthly live workshopping sessions that teaches you how to create courses even when you've got no time or money to create courses AND gets my expert eyes on your curriculum design & modules so you can make a jaw-dropping, traffic-stopping, clients-flinging-credit-cards-at-you program that FINALLY changes everything for you and your clients. DM me for details.
Willpower will NOT help you create more content, or courses, or or or.

And that’s because the research shows that willpower is a short term source of fuel that we quickly burn through.

Willpower is a kick-start, not a sustainer.

To get things done, we need a system for SUSTAINING and completing great work (not just starting it…)

There’s actual research about what DOES produce high-quality work, and it’s this:

It’s QUANTITY.

1) Producing more = more chances for a breakthrough idea
2) Producing more sharpens your chops. You get good at something by doing it A LOT

With this in mind, I developed The Externalize System that enabled me to be fast & prolific without sacrificing the quality of my work.

It’s counterintuitive, because we’re taught “Quality of over quantity” but the truth is that if you produce a lot, fast,your end work does NOT end up being mediocre, for 3 reasons:

1) You get better and better the more you produce, so your ‘mediocre’ is actually quite excellent, comparatively

2) You have more breakthrough ideas, and the quality of an idea will often outshine its presentation

3) Once you’ve got *something* to work with, you can quickly refine & polish it so it jumps up a few levels in excellence

All that to say: I developed The Externalize System for getting your out of your head and into the world that leverages your lack of time + quantity + frequency to produce influential work.

It now takes 45-90 minutes — sometimes less! — for me to write a week of social content & sales emails.

And it’s not because I became a faster writer. I’m actually a painfully slow writer.

It’s because now I have a totally different workflow (EXTERNALIZE!) for producing.

And THAT’s what will finally get those thoughts out of your head and into the world where they can actually be useful to other people.

No willpower required.

FACTS. DM me to learn to rock the Externalize system for yourself so you can stop getting whipsawed by time, circumstance & the critical voices in your head and start transforming all those genius ideas of yours into finished work that makes a difference -- in your business AND in the lives of other people.
