Hey everyone, It’s Catherine here! I’ve been a little quiet in the business channels lately. I had to take a step back and prioritize my family, especially since I had a newborn about 6 months ago. It’s been such a rewarding experience focusing more on them and my goals outside of social media. Can you believe we’re almost done with the first quarter of 2026 already? Time is moving fast! On the business side, there’s been a nice surge in income, and we’re definitely excited about doing even more this year. Enough about me, though! How has everything been on your end? Would love to hear what’s been going on with you all!

It’s crazy how fast time flies. Just yesterday, we were celebrating the new year, setting big goals, and feeling unstoppable. Now, we’re almost at the end of March, and for a lot of business owners, reality is hitting hard. Maybe sales aren’t where you thought they’d be. Maybe you’ve hit roadblocks you didn’t see coming. Maybe you’re questioning if this year will actually be different. But here’s something to remember: Most people quit right before things start to work. The first few months of the year are not about instant success—they’re about building momentum. Even if it doesn’t feel like it, every step you take is getting you closer. The people who keep pushing—even when it’s slow—are the ones who win in the end. Think about it: If you stop now, what if you’re walking away just before your breakthrough? So if you’re feeling stuck right now, hear this: The first three months do NOT define your entire year. If you’re facing challenges, it means you’re growing. The ones who keep showing up—even when it’s tough—are the ones who break through. Keep pushing. Your moment is coming.

Ever feel like you’re working 12-hour days but barely making progress? You’re constantly juggling emails, meetings, social media, customer service, and a never-ending to-do list—yet your business isn’t growing as fast as it should. You’re not alone. Many entrepreneurs fall into the busyness trap, spending time on things that feel important but don’t actually move the needle. The real reason you’re stuck? Most of what you do doesn’t matter. The truth is: A small fraction of your efforts generate most of your results. You waste hours daily on tasks that don’t contribute to growth. The more you try to do everything, the less you actually achieve. This cycle leads to burnout, frustration, and stagnant revenue—because working hard on the wrong things won’t get you ahead. How to Fix It: Focus on the 4% That Drives 64% of Results Not all tasks are created equal. Instead of doing more, do less—but better. ✅ Identify the 4% of tasks that generate 64% of your business growth (sales, marketing, partnerships, product innovation). ✅ Eliminate, automate, or delegate everything that doesn’t directly contribute to revenue. ✅ Block out distraction-free time to focus on high-leverage activities. If you shift your time and energy to what actually moves the needle, your business will grow faster—with less effort. So, what’s one task you can eliminate today to free up time for real growth?

Starting out my second store a few months ago, I had no clue on how to make it workout. Doing my research for the month, then I found out a particular approach to implementing good marketing strategies to make things work out. The first month we did it this way, we closed the month at over $8k in sales. The next month, we set a goal of 20k but we made only a bit over 14k. Increasing our efforts, last month we hit the goal and did over $21k in sales, now the next goal is $30k. Note that if you are into dropshipping business, the best you can do for your business is to invest in your business foundation and get quality work done for your store. I believe that if I can do it, you can as well. You can always say hi for a few pointers of you need help though. Let's win again in October 🤩

It's been a while here haha. I went on a vacation with the family, so been off the grid for a while. Here's my July report card 🤩. Glad we finally hit the $60k goal.
