⏰ 22 tiny systems that save me 20+ hours every week

Not all systems involve email funnels and order bumps. In fact, most of mine don’t.

In this week’s video, I’m dishing on 22 tiny systems that save me a ton of time. They’re some of the reasons I’m able to work part time and earn a full-time income, without a big team and without wearing myself out on the hamster wheel of doom.

📚 A cool new idea for Etsy sellers and Amazon publishers

Karon Thackston just released a brand new guide for publishing low-content, big-interest idea books.

An idea book takes some of the most frequently searched information and packages it up in a downloadable resource you can sell on Etsy, Amazon, your own site, or elsewhere. Think date nights on a budget, kids parties, Halloween costumes, or anything else that people would search for ideas on.

Karon’s Idea Book Bonanza gives you the step-by-step process for brainstorming topics, researching content, and structuring your books. She even includes AI prompts to speed up the process.

​Get Idea Book Bonanza for just $9.99 through Tuesday.

🔭 Find your focus

In my first YouTube video, I advocated for doing more focused work. The comments made it clear that focus is hard!

“Well, if I can lock my family out of the house, turn off my phone, disconnect my doorbell, and pretend to be deathly ill, I might be able to practice being focused.”

“Wow, I have no idea what that kind of focus is like, I have never had that kind of focus and as an adult.”

“My brain has been more distracted since perimenopause began.”

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re going to love the latest from Thrive Anywhere.

​Find Your Focus is a minimalist productivity workbook designed to help people simplify their workday, reduce distractions, and concentrate on what actually moves things forward.

It comes with resell rights, too. Rebrand it, update it to match your audience’s needs, and use it to help them find their focus again.

​Get Find Your Focus here. It’s on sale through Monday.
