I’m standing this morning. For my neck. For my shoulders. For my body. Too much sitting snuck back in, so I’m flipping the script. Standing more than sitting again. I’m listening to my body and making a shift in my daily routine! If you have a standing station at home or work, I’d love to see it. Drop a photo below.

Tomorrow I’m leading a virtual workshop for 200 people and every single one of them already has my journal in their hands. This is a first for me and I’m honestly so excited. A foundation reached out and asked me to speak. I offered my journals at a discount. They said yes and bought one for every participant and mailed them out as a Christmas gift. I used Amazon MCF to fulfill the order and it worked beautifully. Yes, it was a little pricey during the holidays. Prices definitely shift depending on timing. Still 100 percent worth it. There is something really powerful about teaching when everyone is holding the same tool and we are learning together in real time. Note to self. Remember to ask for screenshots of everyone holding up their journals. That will be epic. Sharing this as a reminder of what is possible when you say yes, make it easy to buy, and trust the process. Grateful. Excited. And cheering all of you on as you build your own firsts.

Just when you think you’re about to hit your last 12 Week Year goal $5,000 in 30 days you wake up to… one sale. After weeks of steady daily sales. After momentum. After feeling like, yes, this is working. And your nervous system goes That’s it. I broke it. Here’s the lesson most people skip. This moment is not a signal to panic. It is a test of regulation. Most people mistake variance for failure. Amazon sales are not linear. Neither is any income stream worth keeping long term. If your confidence collapses every time the graph dips, you don’t have a business problem. You have an emotional load problem. What I teach here instead: 1. Zoom out before you zoom in: One slow day inside a strong 30 day trend means nothing. Trends matter. Single days do not. 2. Separate behavior from outcome: Did you do the work you said you’d do this week? That’s the only metric you actually control. 3. Do not change strategy on an emotional day: This is where burnout is born. Reaction creates chaos. Calm creates compounding. 4. Normalize boring consistency: The real flex is staying steady when your brain wants drama. Income without burnout is not about avoiding dips. It’s about not letting dips hijack your identity, energy, or decisions. If you are building something real, you will have quiet days. Your job is not to fix them. Your job is to stay regulated enough to keep going. If this hit, drop a comment with one word: steady.

several people have asked me how I’ve learned so much about Amazon. Here’s the honest, short answer. 1. I show up. Not when I feel confident. Not when it feels easy. I show up when I’m confused, when ads don’t make sense, when sales dip, and when I’d rather pretend the dashboard doesn’t exist. 2. I fail fast on purpose. This is the part most people skip or romanticize. Failing fast does not mean being reckless. It means testing small, watching closely, and adjusting quickly. Low budgets. Short time frames. Clear learning goals. Most people want certainty before action. Amazon rewards action before certainty. Every ad I’ve turned off, every keyword that didn’t convert, every listing tweak that flopped taught me something specific. That feedback compounds. Here’s the uncomfortable truth I don’t hear enough people say out loud. You do not learn Amazon by watching videos alone. You learn Amazon by being in it long enough to collect real data and not quitting when the data bruises your ego. If you’re stuck, ask yourself this instead of “What course should I buy?” What am I avoiding testing because I’m afraid of being wrong? That’s usually the next lesson. If you’re building in public inside this Skool, you’re already doing the hardest part. Keep showing up. Keep failing small. Keep learning forward.

We are going out to brunch with my in-laws this morning and then celebrating my mom's 80th birthday with my side of the family tonight! Tomorrow is all about relaxing, household chores and publishing my next YouTube video (I will eventually get this done by Fridays, but Sunday will have to do for now). What about you?
