The mission of KDP Publishing is to build a thriving community where content creators and business owners learn how to self-publish their first book on Amazon KDP — and start generating real sales. Writing a book can feel overwhelming, but with the right strategy and guidance, you don’t just publish once — you build a repeatable system. A book can increase your authority, attract leads, and create an additional stream of income. If you’ve ever thought, “I think I have a book in me,” or you’re curious how a book can generate passive income, you’re in the right place. https://www.skool.com/kdp-publishing/about

If you're anything like me, financial literacy, budgeting, planning for your future, etc. wasn't taught to you. You didn't learn it in school and your family gave you little to no advice on how to manage money. You likely never learned about the power of compound interest, the Rule of 72, the 1% rule when investing in real estate, etc. The bad news is that you can't change your financial past. The good news is you can change your financial future! I am cultivating a community where money talk is normal, budgeting is made simple, and we celebrate big and small wins along the way. If you want to talk money freely, ask questions, learn and grow alongside with people who want to tell their money where to go instead of wondering where it went, I invite you to check out my community: https://www.skool.com/every-day-rockstars/about

Then you do not need to read this. ––– If you are not always sure, or you miss the words to tell the world, you might want to give this one a try. Close your eyes and think about what you know is right, what you learned to be true. Is the voice speaking to you your own? Is it your adult self speaking? Or an older version of you? How old is this version? Maybe it is not your voice at all? Sounds strange? It is not. It happens to all of us. Yet we barely take the time to listen. Whatever is true for you, there is one sentence that might make you think: "If you see the path clearly in front of you, it is very likely not yours." Even with a clear vision, the path appears while you walk. Not while you talk. Not while you plan. Not while you try to figure it all out before you take the first step. So how to navigate this territory? Start listening to your INNER COMPASS again. I created a 7 day experience for exactly that. To discover what matters to you most. And to find the words to tell the world.

Happy Friday (I think it's Friday 😅). I'm MJ and once upon a time I wanted to be a rockstar. I took voice lessons, piano lessons and taught myself guitar. I became a singer/songwriter, and eventually the front woman of a local band in Milwaukee, WI. I went to school on a music scholarship and then dropped out of college to pursue music full-time -- only to wind up dropping out of my band to go back to college for a business degree. I felt like I sold out to the man! But I told myself, even if I had go work a "real job" I could still find a career that had rockstar elements to it -- so I spent about 10 years in the experiential marketing world while I was essentially "on tour" for some very iconic brands. During this time I worked not just across the U.S. but even overseas -- and that's where I started to develop the idea of being an every day rockstar. Because what if we didn't have to be on stage, selling albums, or signing autographs -- what if we could just learn to be a rockstar in our own life? I purposely picked "Every Day" and not "everyday" because everyday means ordinary... and ordinary we are not. We are intentional, and we show up Every Day to be the best versions of ourselves -- at least those are the people I have surrounded myself with. My career afforded me some very cool things and taught me some great life lessons, particularly about personal growth and development, personal finance, and investing. I now teach others the foundations of financial literacy, budgeting, and real estate investing for beginners. If that's something of interest, I'd love to connect with you. As an aside, this past year, I decided to revisit some of my musical pursuits -- it did NOT go the way I intended, but you can read about it here: https://open.substack.com/pub/everydayrockstars/p/when-the-music-stopped And here's a snippet of a song that will be on this album, should I get the opportunity to complete it:
