my february recap (numbers inside!)
|
Hey Reader, February taught me TWO things. 1. Rolling babies cause chaos. 2. And public accountability works! One of these kept me awake at 2am. The other is the reason I finally started making real progress on one of my big goals for 2026. Here's a full recap of my February! Income: $7,752.68 All of my money this month came from one-to-one client work. No affiliate income. No digital product sales. Just good old-fashioned client work - which I do actually enjoy. What I spent money on this month→ My website hosting renewed ($326 — Showit, affiliate link) → My (Convert)Kit account renewed ($590 — also an affiliate link) → Some fairly boring office supplies (printer ink, computer paper, a bunch of pens, new laptop case) → We also finally finished the accent wall in my husband's office How are my 2026 goals going?1️⃣ Launch a new digital offer LOTS of progress here! And honestly writing last month’s recap (where I had to admit I made zero progress on this while launching multiple client offers) was the push I needed. So I finally started working on it. If you want a sneak peek when it’s ready, you can click here and I’ll put you on the waitlist. I’ll give you one hint: it has something to do with writing really good emails. I know that’s a little mysterious right now, but I promise I’ll share more soon. 2️⃣ Consistent weekly emails Doing it and you're reading one of them! 3️⃣ Create 3 new opt-ins One of these is officially in the works! One of the best ways you grow your business is regularly creating new things that people want. 4️⃣ Save at least $24,000 for retirement Still waiting on final tax numbers before making any moves here. 5️⃣ Upgrade and organize our home Some progress here!
My four-month-old learned how to roll over this month. Which was very exciting… until he started rolling onto his stomach at 2am and waking up confused about how to get back. I also completely cleaned out my business inbox and reorganized all my labels, which felt SO SATISFYING. Overall February felt really steady. Client work is going well, and some behind-the-scenes projects in my business are finally moving. I love the feeling of momentum. ❤️ Mara P.S. — Did you notice the new email template?

Hey Reader, $9,510, my weird new $100 hotel habit… and hitting a BIG goal way ahead of schedule. Here’s the full recap from March. Income: $9,510.35Expenses: $4,627.14 This was a much higher expense month than usual for me, but every dollar did have a reason. Some of the bigger ones: → $1,300 to my accountant to handle our business and personal taxes. Worth every cent, especially because we’re getting a refund this year. The last time that happened was 2018, when I still had a W2 job. Wild. →...
Hey Reader, My life and business situation is a little weird. Not weird to me…but every time I explain it to people, they get this look on their face like they're trying to figure out if what I just said is actually possible. When we bought our house last year, our mortgage lender told us our case was one of a kind. → Here's why. I've been the primary income for our family since 2020. My husband stays home with our kids. The mortgage. The groceries. Vacations. My business carries the...
Hey Reader, I had four different ideas for this email… and couldn’t pick just one. So here’s a hodgepodge of things I think you might like: 1. This video about people using AI to write emails. It spirals into chaos by the end and will probably make you laugh. 2. I open this website when I need to stop procrastinating3. I’m speaking at the Courses + Memberships Summit* this week (tickets are free) I’m excited for Laura Robinson’s talk about what happened when she added a high-touch option to...
