I don't know if I'm the only one who has full conversations with herself in her head like a loon, but I had to talk myself down today because I was spiraling. I'm one of those people who tracks my income meticulously, and when deposits are late, I start to panic automatically because I'm always down to the wire. So, today I was grumpy and had a massive headache over a sizeable payment due to me that hadn't processed yet, and I forced myself to sit and relax, breathe, and let go of the negativity. What happened after that? The rankings of my book release from yesterday updated, and I'm in the Top 30 in two categories, Top 100 in the third. My income on that book spiked. I received an email that the payment I'd been so worried about had processed. So, if anyone needs me, I'll be chilling in my little mental oasis. 💜😁

Ideas for rewiring your mindset - Imagine the worst and sit with the feeling - Then imagine the worst and everything turns out perfectly - nervous system through baby steps and repetition - Calm your nervous system through pleasure (celebrating!)

I got 2 new pre-orders!!! Little wins, and proof that IT'S HAPPENING!!!

Yesterday we talked about tactics you can use to 10x. But before you do that, you want to make sure your sales funnel is solid. Today I was updating my back matter and figured I'd explain a small thing that can get you more conversion and sales. Tiny, easy to accomplish--but also easy to miss--and super effective! Take the course that explains the whole sales funnel here

I didn't sleep well last night so today I've felt pretty meh...which immediately tailspins my thoughts. "You're going to fail" "you're a failure" - I mostly kept these thoughts at bay with my morning cup of serotonin (coffee) long enough to get words, but in the afternoon the energy slump brought them back. It is entirely possible for me not to get 2000 preorders by the end of the month. But getting even 1 more would be awesome. And although the goal is a stretch, I bet I can get 2000 total by launch, which is Dec 26th. *exhausted cheer* But that's all logical thought. And my fear/feelings aren't logical. They are coming because, frankly, I didn't eat enough before 1 pm. I swear I'm back to kindergarten with self care: - did I eat something? - drink water? - take my meds? - go outside/get some sun? - connect with a loved one? - go to the bathroom (my bladder gets ignored when I hyper-focus)? It's quite possible you also need to drink something not caffeinated or eat something that's not a simple carb. But you also might have a habit of these "I can't do it/I'm a failure" thoughts. I find it useful to write them down and become the observer right away. This switches the mind from stress (amygdala) to critical thinking (pre-frontal cortex) and possibilities come flooding in. But I also need to eat protein! And just shrug off everything until I've had some good sleep. Posting in case this is helpful. Also, I know that if I focus on the ditch, I will steer into the ditch, so I'm going to keep thinking about 2k preorders and how it will look and feel. And complete one task on my tactics list (give my assistant new back matter for book 1 in the series, back matter that points to the new book) Hope to see you for the tactics call Monday! Also, the recording from yesterday is up and it's 9 hours long! 😆 JK. And did you see we're going to have an Author Gala/Month end celebration on the 30th? Halloween costumes expected but not required. PJs are costumes too. ;)
