my favorite game to play...

Published about 1 year ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I like to do this thing in my life and business where I play a game called: what's working and what's not working.

It's a simple way to evaluate your life to help you do less of the stuff that's not working and more of the things that are!

Here's my list for this week...

​​​​​WHAT'S WORKING FOR ME:

  • Getting as much help as possible (with business stuff and baby stuff - I think I need outsource MORE things)
  • Working at coffee shops and libraries
  • Paper plates
  • Consistent emails to my list
  • Focusing on current clients and referrals over a bunch of new marketing for my business
  • Writing monthly income reports for my business
  • Weekly marriage meetings with my husband to make sure we are on the same page.
  • Listening to these Nancy Drew ambiance Youtube videos
    ​
    ​

​​​​​WHAT'S NOT WORKING:

  • Sleeeeeeep...I'm sleeping terribly and it's a combination of a bunch of different things but mostly my 4-month-old baby.
  • No consistent childcare
  • How small our house is
  • Meetings - I'm really minimizing meetings in this season of life. They take up a lot of time and eat into my work time.

​
I try to do this every 2-3 weeks to see what's coming up for me. It's a really simple way to keep a pulse on I want to work on and change.

-Mara

PS- Speaking of things working, something new I'm trying out on my podcast this week are super short episodes (around 10 minutes)!

Holy Moley Reader,I spent $22,530.97 in my business last year. Yep. Ouch - That’s the real number I pulled off of my spreadsheet. Honestly - this isn’t quite as bad as it sounds. $4,458.07 were fees from Paypal or Stripe which is just a part of doing business. About $5k of the contractor expenses were for a very specific one-time project I did for bigger corporate type of company where I needed to sub-contract out a specific piece of the project. It’s not something I typically do in my biz so...

Hey Reader, I finally published my income report for September 2024. 🎉 It's super late...I know. In case you didn't know I live in Tampa, Florida and was subjected to the torment of hurricane Milton. We're safe. Our home is safe. We didn't have any damage or flooding minus a few branches falling down, but we did lose power for 6 days. 📷 Pic of my baby wayfaring around our house in the dark with a lantern It's amazing how fast you start to go stir crazy with no power (and a 12 month old who...

Hey, there This email landed in my inbox on Monday 👇 About a year ago I set an intention that I wanted to be on more podcasts and in the last 365 days I've been featured on 34 different podcasts. ...which isn't too shabby considering I had a baby, went on maternity leave and kept up with a busy client work load during that time. The even crazier thing...I didn't pitch myself for any of the podcasts I was asked to be a guest on. 🤯 You should totally go listen to this podcast episode by the...
