My 6-year-old and I are starting a new business! (Don't worry, my Squirrel Wrangler said it was ok! 😜) It’s called Olive & Grey, and we’re going to make and sell our art (starting on Etsy, then who knows). This started because Greyson and I have been making more art together, and he’s fascinated by the idea of selling it, and I realized… why not let him experience what it actually looks like to build something from an idea? Homeschool project! Because I’m building this one from absolute zero, I thought it would be fun to bring you behind the scenes and show you the actual business decisions as I make them: what I prioritize, what I skip, what works, what doesn’t, and why (lessons that are helpful for any kind of business). Basically, Olive & Grey is becoming our tiny real-life business case study. Tentative launch date is October 1st, and there's a lot to do, so for the next 3 weeks, I'll share an update and lessons learned each Monday. 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳!

I just used the skills to create the workbook for my upcoming course in a matter of minutes. It’s beautiful! Well worth my investment. Thank you so much! that saved me so much time and it’s so much nicer than anything I would’ve created on my own.🎉

Do you have a Skool community of your own? Share it here! (This will be pinned in the Not Your Mother's Skool Community course in the Classroom.) Make sure to include: 1. The name of your community 2. Who it's for + what they'll get out of it 3. The link!

Let’s have some fun! In honor of the fact that I just now remembered that it’s Friday and posting this at 8pm 😜… Timing & Deadline Edition - Early bird or fashionably late? - Start projects early or wait til deadline? - Set reminders or trust your memory? - Over-prepare or just go with it? - Sleep on it or decide immediately? - Always running on time or always scrambling?

I'm back! Well, kinda. I didn't really go anywhere, I've just been shifting my focus to putting together the new trainings for my group program, Wild + Free (new spots opening up in October! 🥳) and working on a new book project with my husband. (We had a meeting with Jay Papasan, co-author of The One Thing, and I'm still fangirling!) And, as we all know, when you're running your business around ALL of the things, sometimes you need to shift your focus every now and then! But I'm back, and ooooh my goodness, there's so much going on in here!
