What to do with Be Awesome Online?

Hello, darlings. It’s been a while. A looooong while, in fact: it’s a year since I returned home from Vegas with a notebook full of plans for what became Cash and Joy, where I spend my time nowadays. I’ve been pondering for some time: what should I do with the ten months of daily content that…

How to get the bad stuff done

It’s a guest post, by the lovely Lisa! Even if you run your own dream business, there’s probably something about your “ideal” job that doesn’t agree with you. I’m working for an entrepreneur, getting great experience to help me plan my own business, but that still involves cleaning bathrooms and taking out the trash. I’m…

The coachsultant’s toolbox

It’s been some time since I described the tools and tech I use to do my work, and I’ve been getting some questions from ya’ll about automation, tools and all that jazz. So, in short, here’s how it my bizzy-ness does its thang. Getting paid and getting scheduled I use e-junkie to make my buttons…

Respecting your weird-ass rhythm

So last week was a super-crazy-busy week. Like, every day was four hours of coachsulting/two hours of writing/holy crap I need to answer my email in there somewhere/mmm, burritos. I was on FIYAH. I was powering through all of it, writing loads of great stuff, running three friendly conversations simulataneously with no loss of quality,…

The 11 best decisions I made about my website

So last time I talked about the fascinating journey of going from 4 subscribers to full-time business in less than a year. And a number of you asked if I had any advice. HELL YES I DO. Here’s my top ten smart decisions. I didn’t use my name as a domain, but I did use…

One year ago today…

On January 1, 2010, this website had 10 visits a day and four subscribers (including me, and my friend and first fan Cass – thanks as always, sweetie). I had completed one coaching session – free – had zero products for sale, and made exactly $0. That long weekend I created my very first product,…

How I write sales pages

If you haven’t been keeping up with the happy-haps over at Cash and Joy (and why would you miss it, I am writing kick-ass stuff there!) then you might have missed the launch of my new service: Goddamn Radiant. You need to go read that page first. (And buy it, of course, if you want…

From bleh to woah-mama in 4 drafts

Yesterday I wrote an article for Cash and Joy about the biggest marketing mistake we all make. It’s one of the best articles I’ve ever written anywhere. (If that hasn’t tempted you to go read it, this article will make much less sense if you haven’t. I’ll wait.) It’s a good thing I had a…

Strong, THEN weak

The wonderful, magnificent, we-love-the-shit-out-of-each-other-in-possibly-inappropriate-ways Ash Amberge from The Middle Finger Project is a champion. A fighter. A powerhouse and a dynamo. She is strong and confident and SHAZAM. So when she writes out her vulnerable, trouble-heavy life story, where she is kicked and then kicked again by life, she’s never a victim. Never, ever. I…

For serious, marketing is easy.

A couple of days ago I dashed off the world’s quickest update: Oh dearests, so much exciting stuff is coming. New and super-powerful and challenging (for me and you) and transformative (also for me and you). New packages will be happening, and my prices will be adjusted too. So if you’ve been thinking about getting…
