"We lose ourselves in things we love. We find ourselves there, too." ~Kristin Martz
Happy Saturday!!
This week has seemed extremely long. On Tuesday, I was convinced it was Wednesday and things kinda went downhill from there. All in all, a great week though. I signed up for ClassPass so I'm excited to try my very first spinning class next week. Any tips? I'm afraid I'll be out of breath and ready to stop pedaling about 5 minutes in. 🚴🏾♀️ #outofshape
In other news, I'm excited because I'm in this awesome program called Dedicated to Done run by my friend Shenee. It's an intensive to help you launch a product in six weeks. What I'm loving about it: It's a small group. Shenee keeps you going - she'll tag you to check in and make sure you are keeping up with the work. It's also very manageable. There are three big things to answer every week so I feel like I can still fit the work in even with a day job. Highly recommend. And I'm working on a product for you!! I'm creating a digital product that will be an always-changing notebook of my tips, tools, and resources that I'm learning/using/discovering on my own side hustler journey.
My goal is to help you create passive income in your side hustle so you can make money while you're at your day job. If you want to know when the Side Hustler Study Guide launches, click here to get on the waitlist.
In the meantime, if you missed it the first time around, the Genius Bloggers' Toolkit is coming back for two days only (Monday 5/14 and Tuesday 5/15). I bought it last year and it is filled with 89 resources, guides and training for bloggers. All for $97. Topics include starting a blog, growing a blog, time management, and tech tools. Basically everything you need to start a blog and make money doing it. Check it out during your lunch break on Monday and email me if you have any questions.
I'm off to clean, run errands and then relax with some How to Get Away with Murder. On to the picks for the week!
P.S. To all the mothers have a very Happy Mother's Day! ❤️
