Hi Reader, At any rate, the pic above was one I took on Sunday. This was technically the night before the full moon but it was at 98.9% luminosity which is enough to make it count in my books.
LAST DAY: HARNESS YOUR ADHD I'm right there with you. My friend Jenn pointed out some traits which made me suspect I might have ADHD. And Leonie herself is a late diagnosed ASD & ADHD. She's here to tell you that your dreams are still 100% doable and achievable and you can still create and achieve in a way that works WITH your unique brain rather than against them. Right now, for the next two days, save $20 when you grab this workshop. You can also pick up Leonie's Brilliant Biz Academy (this masterclass comes as part of your membership!) which gives you instant access to over $8,500 worth of goodies such as:
✨BONUS - If you purchase Leonie's upcoming mastermind, choose two deluxe bonuses from my bonus page. You'll also receive this new, 12 piece companion set of abstract, modern art prints called: "Flowers: Two Ways" - (8 x 10"). You can use these to create backgrounds for planners and printables, covers, dividers, wall art, backgrounds, as well as KDP, POD, etc. This is also a new set that hasn't been sold anywhere before. Normally, these pieces would retail individually for a minimum of $10 with personal use in my Etsy store (a value of $100) but today you're getting the entire set with commercial use, so the value is significantly greater. NEW: DOORS ARE OPEN I snapped this course up over a year ago and the lessons combined with the bustling Facebook community and huge perks such as monthly experts and live Etsy shop feedback make this the best course I've seen that is geared towards carving a path to success on Etsy. In the course, there are currently students making five and six figures selling printables on Etsy. Printables meaning checklists, gift tags, planners, kids games, templates, etc. With Thanksgiving, Black Friday,the December holidays, and New Years coming up, this is the peak season to start creating digital products for your customers to audience to grab a piece of that huge pie on Etsy. They've also added some goodies to their program such as:
Since the course launched in 2019, they have students hitting tens of thousands of sales on Etsy. Customers are looking to Etsy for digital products now more than ever and this is the perfect time for someone to jump into this side hustle. Also, you might think you need to be creative or have business expertise, but many of Julie’s students didn’t have graphic design backgrounds and weren’t entrepreneurs before coming into her course. Julie herself has made five figures herself selling bachelorette party printables and was featured on CBS News! If you're still not sure if this is the course for you, you can check out Julie and Cody's free workshop as well as their video FAQ which offers great insight into their course. You'll also get a free month of their membership which is where all the magic happens.
✨BONUSES: If you purchase Julie and Cody's course using my link (make sure you see my affiliate name on the bottom of the checkout page "laramai") I'm offering a special bonus that includes variations on some of my customers favourite printables! Here is a shot of the thumbnails. ✨ BONUS 2 - Magical Gradients Seamless Collection: Volume 2 with MRR rights. (Value $160) This bonus will be uploaded to your dashboard after April 2, 2024. In my Etsy store, I sell paintings with personal use for $10 - and I am giving you 20 pieces with MRR rights - so the value of this is worth well over $360.

Me in my happy place Hi Reader,A few nights ago, I ventured down to the lake to check out the full moon. However, the second anniversary of my newsletter swept in and took over so I'm including pics today.

He was missing the baseball game but since it was well after 9 pm and it's so dark down by the water (and the path isn't lit) he didn't want me going alone.The two previous nights were...

I remember the day all-too well as I was going on vacation the next day to celebrate my son's birthday and for some reason, had this wild idea to start my newsletter the night before. "How long could it take?" I thought to myself. I thought only...
Hi Reader,How was your day?I had an awesome Tea Party call today with Michelle Rohr in her Say Yes to Desire membership. Normally we spend 90 minutes chatting about life and business but today she went over what she's been using in what she termed her Reset Month along with some essential tools she's been using on her journey.
